Turkey is always held up as a Model of a Secular Democracy in the Islamic world. This was true to a point when Kemal Ataturk was leader of the Turkish Republic. His successors were most of the time military back governments that maintained a Secular regime. However in recent years, the Progressive controlled European Union has pressured Turkey to have Free elections, on the condition they may apply for EU membership. The Progressive controlled US State Department also backed the Democratization of Turkey. The result is that in 2002, The Islamo-Fascist AKP, won the election.
Under the Islamist Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey is returning to it’s Imperial Islamic past. In 2003, they refused the passage of the 4th Infantry Division to open a Northern Front. He called Israel’s incursion into Gaza a genocide and walked out of the Economic Forum in Davos after a heated argument with Israel President Shimon Peres. Now Turkey is refusing to allow Israeli planes to participate in a combined Air exercise with the US, Italy and Turkey. Now to rub in Israel’s face, Turkey is sending 10 ministers to Syria to strengthen ties.
Less than a week after Turkey informed Israel that it was unwelcome in the Anatolian Eagle military exercise, 10 Turkish ministers are scheduled to travel to Syria on Tuesday to take part in a meeting of the newly formed Turkey-Syria High Level Strategic Cooperation Council.
The council was established last month in Turkey at a meeting between Turkish foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and his Syrian counterpart, Walid Moallem. At that meeting, the two countries – which were on the verge of war over a border dispute in the 1990s – agreed to do away with visa requirements for visitors to and from both countries.
Among the Turkish ministers who will meet their Syrian counterparts on Tuesday are Davutoglu, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Taner Yildiz and Interior Minister Besir Atalay.
Read the rest.
Turkey is not a trust worthy nation. They have through their history committed wars of aggressions and genocides against Greeks, Armenians and Serbians. They currently occupy Northern Cyprus, yet they have the audacity to criticize Israel over it’s Gaza operation. The recent events show Turkey is not a trustworthy ally of the US or Israel. It is time to pull our bases from Turkey and kick them out of NATO. Let them join up with their Islamic brothers. That is where their heart is.
Update: I very rarely ask favors from the Blogmocracy Netizens, but can we save the LGF talk for open threads? There are bigger topics in the world like Progressives and Islamo-Fascists, than a washed up abusive failed blogger. If you all want to keep talking about him, fine. But I have nothing to say about him.
