What the hell are you going on about? If you are simple enough to want simple yes or no answers then that is what you will get.

Obviously they are not what you wanted. :lol:

Update:

Turkey to appeal F1 fine

TSN.ca Staff

9/27/2006 4:22:09 PM

Organizers of the Turkish Grand Prix have reportedly decided to appeal the $5-million US fine levied against them for violating Formula One's podium protocol during last month's race.

The World Motor Sport Council imposed the fine last week, the largest in motorsport history, after presenter Mehmet Ali Talat was introduced as the President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus - which is considered a breakaway state and not recognized on the international stage. FIA became concerned that its political neutrality had been compromised and claimed a breach of contract.

ITV-F1 quotes race organizers as saying, while they accept the reasons for the fine, they believe the amount to be too severe. They admit that raising the money in the specified 30-day period would be hard.

There were fears that Turkey would lose its spot on the F1 calendar, but the World Motor Sport Council stopped just short of that penalty.

No date for the appeal hearing has been announced.

Viewpoint helooooo,

You were saying something like the $5 million was nothing, a drop in the ocean, good value for money and similar crap, do I remember correct?

i'm just saying that you lost all credibility because you think that:
1) trade isolation of 150k people is more significant that 200k people isolated from out of their own home/land
2) you think its ok to have anybody declare a country within another country just because they are a minority.

anybody you ask will think otherwise, no matter where they're from (even turkey, see: kurdish problems).

you just live in your own little world. think outside the box for a change.

souroul you need clarification as you appear to make up things as you go along.

Your questions were;
1) if somebody (like the kurds) occupied half your country, WOULD YOU IN ANY WAY LET THEM DECLARE THEMSELVES A COUNTRY WITHIN YOUR OWN?


My answer was YES, if they have the same or even similar legal agreements which were signed in 1960 and which you cling onto so dearly today then they to have a right to claim a solution be it partition or reunificaiton if one partner it kicking the shit out the other, planning their annihalation in order to turn an indepedent united Cyprus into Greece.

2) your isolation card is useless because our isolation is far greater. 200K REFUGES ISOLATED FROM GOING BACK TO THEIR HOMES. IS THAT EVEN COMPARABLE WITH YOUR SO CALLED ISOLATION?

Which one is isolated THE MOST?


I said the TCs as we cannot fly direct, trade with the world, have our own postal address, sports embargo's, you have all these....you may say well give us our rights back to our properties then I will respond but I do not have those rights either, we will not have those until we agree a settlement. Our isolation is now being addressed by the EU, UN, USA, UK Finland...what about yours? Obviously their must be yet another conspiracy against the GCs :cry:

You need to look a little further than the end of your nose and see that you are not helping yourselves by imposing and continuing to pursue the isolation of the TCs in the north. This pushes us further away and closer to Turkey, cementing partition. Just take 2 seconds to think about it before you respond in your normal sarcastic manner and for once try to be constructive.
