Both are doing a disservice to the Turkish people by keeping them in darkness and what amounts to "neo-Ottomanism." The Turkish people continues to accept nonsense like Article 301 and all kinds of myths. <BR/><BR/>Someday I hope there is an awakening like it happened with my people, African-Americans. But we have sunk into a new dark age, however, because those who got their educations left the ghettos behind. This has happened to Turkey too. Those who could have helped have left Turkey for their own sanity and self-preservation, and the rest who know the truth are silenced by the threat of Article 301. <BR/><BR/>I hope with all my heart that a hero emerges out of the Turkish nation who is strong and crafty enough to beat the odds and survive and bring light not an illusion of light to Turkey. We foreigners can't do it. <BR/><BR/>Yes, some of the west, especially the US is causing a lot problems worldwide. Still it is the enemy within which the Turkish people should be looking at very hard.Sincerae (means "Morningstar")https://www.blogger.com/profile/05937843842474615430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9462402.post-19984297389642262042007-10-25T20:57:00.000+03:002007-10-25T20:57:00.000+03:00y: From the Turkish side there was only Yasemin Ta...y: From the Turkish side there was only Yasemin Taskin, correspondent of the Turkish newspaper Sabah in Rome. Otherwise, there was someone from the Catholic University in Milan, some expert on Pakistan, a guy, whose name I don't remember, born in Turkey but of which origin he is I have no idea, an Armenian woman with the surname Arslan, an Italian economist (she seemed really well informed, and talked quite reasonably) and audience which was just watching... They had a live connection to Murat Belge of Bilgi University, Istanbul<BR/>===================================<BR/>H:3 Turks....hehehe, and one from Bilgi University who can not speak English?<BR/><BR/>Y:The 'Turkish side' did not exist. Whoever was chosen to represent the Turkish side was, in fact, on 'the other side', thus it was quite a 'one-sided' discussion, again<BR/>--------------------------------<BR/>H:You mean that 'the other side' is not YOUR side..))<BR/><BR/><BR/>Y:nobody from the audience said a word.. I don't think they said any words at all afterwards either.<BR/>==============================<BR/>H: Maybe everything was said. I watch in Antalya Dutch tv shows about integration, and it is repeating itself. Turkey is not learning!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Y:watch these things because he being from the west, although quite ignorant on our issues, thinks to know everything and has the right solution to all the problems, and me being Turkish and quite a nationalist<BR/>---------------------------------<BR/>h: i am so tired that we in 'the west' are called 'ignorant' on 'turkish bla bla bla unique issues'. The situation Turkey is in is created by Turks only, not by foreigners, not so many left...((( <BR/>And it has like any other state 'issues'. Btw, the best person who can represent Turkey, is Mustafa Akyol, but he is on tour to London, Dublin, Prague, NYC, FL etc. He knows how tto discuss, he is good personality, fluent in English, but you don't like him..))<BR/>He is on facebook too....he gets a lot of drinks..))<BR/>These were my poke comments, next time the slayer will come help me..))<BR/>And I agree with Gabri, you are a stubborn nationalist...programmed and well..))Internation Musinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693858277179002967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9462402.post-783259955713892862007-10-25T16:46:00.000+03:002007-10-25T16:46:00.000+03:00Thanks anonymous, yes, it was her, seemed like a n...Thanks anonymous, yes, it was her, seemed like a nice lady.<BR/><BR/>Hans, oh shut up! :-PYaseminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339620682867252129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9462402.post-90126119187269012602007-10-25T16:41:00.000+03:002007-10-25T16:41:00.000+03:00I will give later a well directed poke comment..))...I will give later a well directed poke comment..))<BR/>With all that RED around me I might really start to acting like a Bull/Taurus..))Internation Musinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693858277179002967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9462402.post-23763166582172910752007-10-25T15:59:00.000+03:002007-10-25T15:59:00.000+03:00The Armenian lady must have ben Antonia Arslan, au...The Armenian lady must have ben Antonia Arslan, author of the best-selling book 'The Skylark Farm':<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Skylark-Farm-Antonia-Arslan/dp/1843546736/ref=sr_1_1/002-8789952-5735223?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193310990&sr=8-1<BR/><BR/>The book was made into a movie by the Taviani brothers.<BR/><BR/>RAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
