    Turkey has approximately 80 million population and 30 million of that are the people with Kurdish origin. The country is directed by 550 house representatives and close to 200 of those have also Kurdish descent. Anybody who doesn???t believe this can check previous Turkish president, Turgut Ozal???s background in Wikipedia, who was also of partial Kurdish descent. According to Reuters news released Sun Oct 28, 2007, 12:12pm ET, 30000 people were killed since early 1980s. If a fanatic group calling themselves as a ???party??? and causing so many peoples??? death by bombing the military stations and killing the civilians including Kurdish villagers how much would you believe their ideology that saving 20 million Kurds in Turkey and giving them freedom when Kurds in Turkey can be elected even as a president? Why 2 million Kurds in Iraq are so much interested with 20 million Kurds??? rights in Turkey when more than 3 million of them are living even in Istanbul?

    A word to Tosun, from your name I gather you are Turkish, and it seems out of sync for esp. you to say words like phobic or paranoids. We need more of them to defend injustice towards a super country. You have to explain further what you are trying to say with that proverb. People don't understand. So it goes something like this: "Gokten kemik yagardi eger Allah kopek duasina acisaydi." Can you elaborate on this.

    To all the Turko phobic paranoids
    A Turkish proverb goes;
    It would have been raining bones
    If god had any sympathy for the prayers of dogs

    Look, I feel sorry for all who lose their lives for one reason of another. Noone has gotten a personal vendetta agains you, Mr Apostalian, however when you portray a hostile manner from far away in lieu of buying land (noone had land those days, it is a 100 years old story) as did many of you (and those countrymen still living in Turkeye) it becomes clear that the Turkish will defend their country. What harm have you seen from all this? Let's make truce. Let it go. Enjoy living in the States. Have a good life.

    Man, some Kurds donkey must have farted on one of those British generals at the end of WW I. The Kurds completely lost their territory. It got divided up between four newly formed countries. Talk about screwed, can you imagine? They have to fight Arabs, Persians, and then Turks. Almost makes you want to just run off to the New World. No Justice, no peace. Of course, you could be like the Turks, kill them all. Just how many ethnic groups have the Turks massacred anyway?

      i was wondering the same about our nation..lets see, there are the Native Americans, african americans, mexicans, indochinese, iraqis, afghanis, with only a few hundred years of history..sad but true...

  • Posted By: apostallian@embarqmail.com @ 10/23/2007 3:56:59 PM

    The crude uneducated answers of the turkish remarks tells you what their all about,their own country lied to them about history,but then again with the illiteracy rate at 70% what can you expect.This is America,we dont need trash like them over here

    • Posted By: Atlanta @ 10/25/2007 7:33:22 AM

      hey wise guy, for your information, there is no such thing as illiteracy rate..and no you are not funny..literacy rate in Turkey was 89% a few years ago.(thought i should enlighten your ignorant mind) You want to see trash my friend? Try Jerry Springer..As far as history goes, I bet you dont know who won the civil war in America..The Turks have always welcomed both Turkish and Armenian historians to come together, bring their archives, and solve this dilemma..The Turks are ready my friend, but for some reason the Armenians are not willing...imagine that

    Hey Jean, that was cute and gave me a huge outburst of laughter. Kind of needed that after trying here to battle a twisted notioned old man and from what I understand quite elderly since he says he served in WW2. BTW, it is a free country in Turkeye too. However the notion "free" that you say is so-called. Try saying anti-govt. propoganda across D.C. and see which jail you land in. So you are not with the latest facts as can be seen. So from now on, as do millions of Turkish have, I will feel sorry for you but this doesnt mean you are free of your own aggression. You apostalititu down there are crazy at best. You are so jealous and aggressive. Shame on your age. WW2 you say? Turkiye wasn't even involved in WW2. Why don't you yap against the Germans or Japanese whom we fought. What do you want from Turkiye, land? you 'll never get it. Forget that. This is like Cubans claiming land from Florida, or Mexicans claiming land from California. Indians claiming their land back from the U.S.. Do you understand that your mind is distorted armenian? Do you see that? DO you have senile tendencies? Because I think with this last outburst you do. Emergency, love your comment.

    Calling them as kurdish rebels is WRONG. They are terrorists. They are killing innocent people.

  • Posted By: apostallian@embarqmail.com @ 10/21/2007 11:29:24 AM

    turkey will not enter Iraq,only as a token pass.All they are doing is rattling the sabers,and we are buying it.If they do,they will be going against heavily armed Kurds,great mountain fighters. turks dont like those odds.Their savagery is only directed at unarmed old people,women,and children,look at the past,and learn.

    • Posted By: emergency @ 10/24/2007 10:29:06 PM

      if TURKS have killinig unarmed old people, women and children, how did these nations like armenians, kurds,greeks,bulgarians and others survived in the middle east and balkans through thousand years. dont forget that TURKS have been administrating these lands for a thousand years. You ignorant should look at the past. TURKS did not kill any innocent people and therefore there are still nations and countries living at the lands that TURKS left.

    In all honesty, I never did like Armenians. But, then, I've never been personally acquainted with a Turk. I read that the Kurds killed far more Armenians in 1915 than did the Turks (and some Turks assisted the Armenians). In the end when all comes out, it will surely become obvious that either the Jews or Germans were behind it.

    I am an American ,first, I served my country,in wW2.Ican say anything I want,its a free country ,we made it so.So dont come over here with all your threats.It wont work.People are now realizing what kind of people you are.Your a prime example.This is my countryif you dont like go back to the sewer you came from Cabish.

    You are again harassing me? You called an entire nation Mongoloids? What it means is this:
    1. Anthropology: A member of the Mongoloid racial classification. Not in scientific use.
    2. also mongoloid Offensive A person affected with Down syndrome.
    So you are using offensive language towards an entire nation and YOU STARTED IT. Again, the Turkish are only DEFENDING themselves. Armenians attack aggressively, the Turkish defend themselves.
    * Kurds attack FIRST, the Turkish defend their country. I report, you decide. WE WIN. WE PREVAIL.
    I really wish I could see your face. What kind of distorted facts and deep-seated shameful hatred you have!!!
    SHAME ON YOU! But then again, terrorists don't have shame. They don't know what it is. If you went to Turkeye you'd see what a cool country it is. People love living here. Like the turf here, life is lucrative.

  • Posted By: apostallian@embarqmail.com @ 10/24/2007 4:39:42 PM

    There you are sports fans an example of the mongoloid turkish response.Dont you see how the minorities suffered, for insulting jerkiness.

  • Posted By: nicklebacknow @ 10/24/2007 4:05:20 PM

    how much are they paying you page down? BEcause again, you are harassing. Saddam mustard gassed the kurds. Saddam wasd an Iraqi. Again, page up you must also pull your facts out of your ass. Hooligans (English brits)killed more worldwide than anyone for a sport. Get your facts straight!. Kurds are killing Turkish civilians and military personnel!!! Turkiye is in Iraq as retaliation. Even the US begged Turkiye for more patience but can't wait anymore. Sp page up and down, watch it, you are obviously PAID to write trash. The ultimate evil-doers that you are together with the ultimate satanic armenian HOGS. BAck off. Piss off. STop accusing the Turkish. Kurds never had a territory. Never had a government. B.C. doesnt concern us! Even then, there is no mention of a government or organization, including toilets and also armenians never had toilets, they used to defecate into bags and wipe their arses with leaves and leave to dry, report says coming from armenia person. They never wash their hands either. Kurds also don't wash their hands after toileting into their garden.

  • Posted By: nicklebacknow @ 10/24/2007 3:26:12 PM

    With armenia's illeteracy rate at 90%, hogs like you shouldn't speak. Where do you get your facts out of, your ass? Is that where you pull them from? Because you are LYING. It is called Turkiye. The great country of lucrative promises. Stop harassing Turkiye. No wonder you get kicked out of every country you try to LEECH on. Russia kicked you out. The GREAT Ottoman EMpire kicked you out, now you are sucking the blood of the US. You still have the mean (kustah) streak in you to continue harassing Turkiye and the TURKISH. Shut up you are offending millions. You know nothing about facts. You can't read or write yourself. You are a terorist apolopachiyan. You said it right when you said you were a' RETARD'. Who do you think you are to be commenting on Turkiye? huh? (I will scratch your eyes if you keep this up). Wimpish armenian HOG. Stay the F out of commenting on Turkiye. There are armenians lliving in Turkiye happily ever after. Did you know that!! There are thousands. Don't they ever tell you hogs about this? You illeterate, ignorant pinhead. Let's get their opinions on TV! They will say how happy they are!

  • Posted By: xo_mediterraneanturk @ 10/24/2007 11:52:58 AM

    I don't have anything against Kurds but PKK is another story.

  • Posted By: xo_mediterraneanturk @ 10/24/2007 11:51:56 AM

    Obviously we have come to the conclusion that apostallian is a pathetic and uneducated retard who needs to get his priorties straight. Anyway I think Turkey should go into northern Iraq in order to defend itself. Turkish soldiers won't kill innocent Kurdish civillians but there's a point where Turkey and the Turks draw the line. We need to go to make things right. Turkey has the right to stand up for all those Turkish soldiers that got killed, and I do not think we need permission from the U.S. to protect ourself and fight against terrorists.
