Western/NATO priorities are strange...the rebels they are supporting in Syria and the extremists they are fighting in Afghanistan are in fact the same people.

But Turks are there to stay, as the indicator that concerns Georgian officials is the number of passports given to ethnic Turks.

Why are they going there? No idea. But in your case, most Russians come for tourism and not to settle down. They certainly are not close to a majority as I understand. Also, Turkey does not worry about irredenist fears in that part of the country (I'm assuming you are either on Black Sea coast...

Yeah, Georgia is being irrational. However, what could incite violence is the race riots. In the past couple of months, there have been large scale protests about mosque construction and other Muslim-accommodating facilities. Naturally, the eventually Turk-majority region will want autonomy if...

Georgia has issued over 25,000 passports to ethnic Turks in Adjara Province in southwest Georgia. Soon, it will become Turkish majority, and officials in Tbilisi are beginning to worry that Turkey may try to incite separatist movements there and annex the region. Personally, I believe that...

Duplicate post again:angry:

What a pointless, uneducated post. First of all, Artsakh is now Armenian populated, we will never EVER withdraw. Second, there is a difference between not recognizing a government and not having relations with one. Turkey does recognize Armenia, just has no ties. Pakistan on the other hand, does...

LOL you would absolutely not love to live in Azerbaijan. You be in utter subservience to Sultan Aliyev. Azerbaijan may have oil wealth, but the people do not see a penny, all that revenue goes to Ilham's real estate in Dubai and that project to build the world's tallest building. Think before...

duplicate post.

But that is the issue. Turkey's foreign ambitions are incompatible with that of its neighbors. IMO, Greece needs to be more wary of Turkish encroachment. Look at what happened in Georgian Adjara: there are so many Turks there now that officials fear race riots.

Yes...Turkey is wrong on every count....

Why do you keep trying to provoke me? What have I said that is untrue?

Well, is that a cause or a result of strained tensions?

No, the Middle East's problem with Turkey are atypical. Whereas sectarian issues are usually pervading ones, Turkey has spoiled relations because of its assertiveness (air raids into Iraqi Kurdistan, incursions into Syrian airspace, claims over Meditteranean islands, domination of Georgian...

Depends on how you look at it. Besides, now is not a good time to invest in Greece. I'm guessing Western investment will start pouring in at around 14-15% 10-year bond rate. Now, at 25% (I think?) it's to risky.

Yet you encourage for Turkey to establish economic hegemony over Greece. Not very friendly.

These are not random fluctuations. Clearly, a problem needs to be acknowledged when nearly every country neighboring Turkey has bad relations with it.

What is your problem with Greece?

What real possible threats? You know full well that Syria does not intend to attack Turkey (especially because it will trigger a NATO response).
