Interesting, sounds like a hate-crime possibly racially or ethnically motivated, eh who knows in this region even historical motivations. Nonetheless, hopefully Greek authorities will investigate this incident. I'm sure there are security cameras outside the Consulate so that should help in the investigate. Thankfully, the Turkish Consulate and the staff are safe.

Do you mean Iranian backed Shia PM Hashimi when you say ''Iraqis'', to say this is all of Iraq is not honest, he does not represent whole country so if he dont like us we don't care he can be puppet of Iran, Iran support Shia's and Turkey the Sunni's, Turkmens and the Kurds in the North. Firing rockets at our consulate to send a message is not so nice, using guns and threatening force against Turkish State is the biggest mistake one can commit.

Is it related to Cyprus issue. I have heard that Greeks and Turks are arch-rivals.
