Time to reply to Apostallian Now for his comment on 11/06/2007 9:23.22 am : Patience is a virtue for Turks. They never lean on others but themselves. History is full of their courageous wars, losses and victories. They have established 16 empires throughout their 4000 year past and never been a slave nation to any other. Maybe therefore they are not only well known as deadly warriors, but managed to govern their region with no conflict they can not over come.
So follow todays news and also wait for days to come. Yes only members of the nations accepting slavery can be called brats. As you may bear a grudge against Turks, sorry to think so, but you or your ancestors might be members of those lived in slavery, but never could show the courage to fight a war without leaning on the others. So go back to history 101 and learn more about before to talk about. Watch the news and see how Turks sacrifice their life and blood (like the color of their flag) to protect their Nation as they always do against anybody regardless of their ethnicity. Do not count on some traitors to win against this nation. History showed it otherwise so far.
As you might have forgotten your history I just wanted to remind your biased comment below.

Would Turkey, if it felt it was not getting the necessary cooperation from the United States, consider cooperating with Iran?
I don't see it as an alternative to U.S. cooperation. We'll get any kind of help we can against PKK terrorists.
How can Iran help?
I don't know. It will depend on the talks between the two security forces and the authorities. They will be able to determine what kind of cooperation [is possible].
Let me turn very quickly to the recent effort to pass an Armenian genocide resolution in Congress. Obviously, Turkey very strongly opposed that. It spent a lot of money on lobbyists and ultimately was successful, at least for now. Looking back, how do you see that, and how do you see this going forward?
This is not a new phenomenon. This has been going on for 20 or 30 years now, and we've been constantly fighting against the passage of this resolution. We simply say that we have our own arguments. The Armenians have their claims. That's why we also say that we are not monopolizing the truth about this. But this is a very contentious issue. The interpretation of the events of 1915 differ. So we say the best thing is for the two sides to come together and set up a committee of experts, who can go into the archives in Turkey, which are open, and in Armenia, which are not open … Let's have all these archives open to public scrutiny and the scrutiny of historians, and let them dig out the truth.
