This argument seems to be leading nowhere. The ruling AKP is admant in Turkey to obtain an apology while Israel is admant on their stand. If at all there has to be some sort of reconciliation, both the sides must be willing to give away something for each other. However, I would agree with...

The main advantage Armenians have vis-a-vis Azerbaijan is Collective Security Treaty Organization. This allows them to stay under Russian protection and hence deny Azerbaijan playing the Turkey card. To be honest, since this is an issue between those two countries, I think both Russia and...

You would be quite surprised to hear the gradual changes that are taking place in our society as opposed to what you are thinking now. What you call our habits is indeed being noticable in your countrymen; however people have not noticed the increasing trend of us adopting ancient eastern...

A promising article with a few mistakes; Islam is not a civilization. It is a religion and there is a lot of difference between the two. Civilization is something that has its own ancient legacy tethered to one place in such a manner that culture, philosophy and religion all the three critical...

But do they not offer freedom for re-sale and indepedent manufacturing in Turkish Aeronautical Industry? I assume that the high level of technology transfer accounts to warranting such a high price per helicopter.

Beautiful aircrafts I must say. Have seen some of them flying on videos.

I wonder why the American lawmaker is even trying, knowing that even if he succeeds to make Paris agree to such a demand, it would simply mean that another arms supplying major will grap the opportunity. This has happened numerous times in the past.

I think Mr. Assange is really crossing the limits of decency by labelling terrorism on the name of a faith. As long as political truths is concern, he has done a splendid job but I disapprove of this religion tag. Our society will not appreciate this gesture of Mr. Assange's despite what we...

Australia has a bright scope of considering Indian Ocean as where its future securities lie but due to its limited reach and surrounded by forces who have limited influence, Australian government would be better off closely cooperating with the Indians and Americans since they are the only two...

According to some reports I cam across via my colleagues, North Korean pilots don't fly more than 20-25 hours per year. That is the lowest for any standing air force around the world.

And you are recommending training with an organization that is deemed as terrorists in the eyes of entire world community except a couple of countries? How difficult is it for you to understand that while the Taliban are not being as destructive to you as shown, they are a nuisance to everyone...

Now that is a positive news here. Turkey's role has to be encouraged in the Afghanistan operations and particularly so when it comes to counter-terrorism as well as instructing the local forces on how to handle weapons and manage to eliminate groups of terrorists. I take it that Turkish forces...

Interesting factor I read in this article that your government was keen since 2006 and only now it has been able to officially initiate the programme. Four years is a considerable delay, considering that the very beginning is so slow. Is this due to excess bureaucracy?

On what grounds and what possible reasons do you think that Americans are interested in invading your country? Let the correct terms be put; invasion is usually used when the sovereignity of a country is breached for the purpose of either annexing it or controlling it. So far the indications...

First sinking a naval ship of South Koreans then firing artillery shells and if that was not enough, threatening nuclear war. I wonder how has the world community tolerated such a volatile and violent regime for such a long time that maintains the world's largest prison camp which is their...

There is absolutely no need for me to understand your history as we are talking about present. Present borders are a decision by both of you. And since Afghanistan did not have a decisive government before American invasion, it was solely your decision to fence the territory, due to the lack of...

Mr. Techlahore, The answer to your most crucial question in this post is: more hands, more logistics, and more weapons. That is all the incentive that is there for you to permit NATO forces, even if you consider their wider operations as a failure. Again you fail to understand the point of my...

And could you please explain to me why do you need American consent to fence your own borders? All the time, I see Pakistani members here talking of their autonomy and independent stand all the time and complaining about American involvement. Afghanistan is a sovereign country and you never...

In that case, you could firmly commit towards a joint anti-terror operation with American forces. There is absolutely no reason that NATO or ISAF would give up on a zero sum game. The problem is that your country is facing a militancy that has some connections linking to global problems of...

That is an extremely childish response. First of all, the American attacks if happening, will be towards the Taliban suspects and those offshoots in the remote bordering areas. I personally do not like meddling with someone else's territory and understand you anger, but Taliban and Al Qaeda seem...
