The lesser of two evils, yet both spelling disaster!

Germany turns a blind eye to pressures on civil Kurdish opposition

Germany turns a blind eye to pressures on civil Kurdish opposition

It is no coincidence that Turkish Prime Minister Erdoğan recently accused German political foundations of supporting the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK) both politically and financially. The accusations are unfounded but calculated. Their aim is to isolate the civil Kurdish opposition on an international level and to suppress any form of collaboration with it.

We'll have what they are having!

 

Did you know that the lady delivering the end punch line is actually Billy Crystal's mother? Imagine she is a Kurd and Meg Ryan is a Turkish Cypriot. Doesn't the punch line make perfect sense, be it with 1960, 1974, 2004 or 2011 community rights? I bet ya the Kurd is not gonna change her order! And we have ethnic Turks' Turkey to thank.

They will be solved together, period!

The following article by Sinan Dirlik, who served as "TRNC" Presidential Turkey Media Relations Consultant in the years 2005-2009, appeared in Yeni Düzen on 27 August 2011.

Turkey will be unable to democratise until it solves two big problems: the Cyprus and Kurdish problems. What is more, these are two fundamental problems that we must solve simultaneously or, at the very least, consecutively.

Welcome to Cyprus ...

Turkey illegally invaded, divided, ethically cleansed, occupies and colonizes Cyprus against international law, the Geneva conventions, human rights and common sense. Cypriots did not fall. They chose instead to stand back up on their own two feet, rebuilt their house, cherished their United Nations legitimacy, insured their Republic further by making it an integral part of the wider European family, energized it with trillions of cubic meters of gas, solidified their relations with all major powers, and proclaim to the world they will give to 80.000 tCypriots in Cyprus no more rights than Turkey is willing to grant her 16-18 millions Kurds.

Cypriots can now confidently say to Turkey: "Welcome to Cyprus, bitch! Your days are numbered"

To federate or not to federate?

Hillary Clinton on Nov 1st: ''The United States supports the UN’'s mediation on the Cyprus issue, and we believe that public rhetoric on all sides must be kept to a minimum to give the parties space needed to achieve a solution ... all parties agree on the fundamental goal of achieving a lasting settlement on the island that results in a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation''
