I see The Griechenland Frau is on the retsina again......hick..... She seems to quote more and more from the gutter press....hick..... obviously unable to concentrate long enough to read her beloved Guardian. Hick.....such a Greek....hick.... tragedy and soooo desperate...hick.... for points scoring!!

The FCO advise for Turkey warns people advise against all travel to within 10KM of the border with Syria.

The FCO advise against all but essential travel to: the remaining areas of Sirnak, Mardin, Sanliurfa, Gaziantep, Kilis and Hatay provinces
Siirt, Tunceli and Hakkari provinces. All border towns
The FCO goes onto say Over 2,500,000 British nationals visit Turkey every year. Most visits are trouble-free.

Turkey has lots of problems no need to invent them.

Equally look whats happening in KOS and on several other Griechenland islands. its in all the international press but this link has pictures. As I know ...hick... it must be hard for her to focus on the booze

Strange that for such a *big drinker*, as you imagine I am (since you cannot counter otherwise), I still manage to make more sense and write more coherently than any of you supposed *sober* Turks.

Basically, you are bores, sober or pissed, with nothing to add by way of discussion.

The photograph in this article of the mother, Fatma Sarpkaya, showing her pain and trying to hang on desperately to her dead son's coffin made me sob uncontrollably.

It's so sad, then, to hear once again of a woman participating in this male savagery of terrorizing innocent people.

There were two:

One of the two women assailants in the attack on the consulate was wounded and detained, and a rifle and other weaponry were seized, Istanbul's governor said in a statement.
The DHKP-C named the detained woman as Hatice Asik.

No that is NOT equity. That is something more like Apartheid where one community has more rights than the other.

The day you argue that the RoC having any political power within the EU greater than its population size relative to other EU members, is akin to 'apartheid' is the day I will consider your above statement sincere.

No other country on the planet attributes political equity to communities but to citizens instead.

Belgium.

It doesn't! It only has 6 MEPs in the Euro Parliament and as much influence as a flee on a Lion's anus!

You miss the point. It is not about Belgium's position in the EU but internal politics very heavily influenced by the presence of three language based groups in the country, French speaking, German Speaking and Flemish speaking, but principally the tensions between the French and Flemish speaking parts which on more than one occasion have nearly split the country. Belgium has therefore looked to something of a "communities" based model as a federated Kingdom.

No they are going for a BBF but I guarantee that Belgium will never introduce anything remotely resembling The Cyprus Constitution.

But perhaps the Belgian constitution can be used as some sort of examplar or comparitor for whatever new Cyprus constitution may be proposed, the big difference being that in Belgium two main linguistic communities are far closer to each other in size so the genuine reasons for concern over disportionality which arise in Cyprus do not have quite the same impact in Belgium.

No it can't. They may consider a Confederacy and that would be a huge disaster for Cyprus. People won't go for it.

Federation is key. Much Like Germany, Canada and Australia.
