I take it that this man is in opposition to the current government. But if Turkey has this kind of influence over international networks just imagine what greater powers have.

It's just a tale but that's dangerous talk. On the topic I agree with @Cherokee in post #3 . If turkish influence grows near their borders my guess is that their's will attempt to grow near the turkish border. I can't see what Turkey want's from this?

How's this related to Iran? @Era_923 please move to turkish or middle eastern section.

It could have been a signal to Israel that Netanyahus government has handled the palestinian issue badly as much as a show of support for palestinians. It probably depends on the voting country. I think the more Netanyahu pushes the more the internationally community will push back. Have there...

I think that depends on the outcome in Syria but the potential of a stronger Kurdistan have grown since the Syrian civil war. It's in Turkey's and the rebels interest to suppress this potential so I would expect them to work together in this issue. The only country in the region that could gain...

I hope we can have discussions about the topic at hand in each thread from here on. Derailing posts should be deleted in my opinion!

You are right! It was an unnecessary cheap shot and I apologize. You discuss things in a civilized manner and deserve the same. Thank you for pointing it out! But this Iran blame game have gone out of proportion into something farcical, pun intended. The range covers everything from assasination...

What you just said didn't refute any of the points he made. I take that as you are agreeing with him?

Considering that the slightest move by iranians hits the news, something like this would be sensational! Generals and intellectuals are claiming this happened in the media. A confirmation would be something that could hold in a court of law for example I think. Personally I don't listen to...

I think the keyword here is claimed. Is there something concrete to substantiate these claims?

Sure, I don't think the coalition had Iraq's best interests in mind during that whole circus. When it comes to states outside the western fold they rarely do, which makes sense. Yes they were desperate for the wealth of knowledge gained during Saddam's era.

One of Saddam's mistakes was to think that he was something special when in fact he was just another worthless dictator. He will be remembered as a thoughtless lunatic driven by whims and bloodlust.

This is a troll thread!

You are right that between certain values there is a conflict, and with other values there is not. When more and more of these values,for which there exists no conflict, become established in the pie then the portion of religion becomes smaller and smaller along with it's capacity to supress...

My idea of secularism can be illustrated in the form of a pie chart with the vague title "Important Values". A judgement of secularity depends on how much place religion takes in the chart. As advances in the arts, sciences, sports etc take place, these will become values that share a portion...

You guys should know that if you hurt turkish pride they will vomit nonsense in our section! What happened to us getting a mod?

Swedens minister of defence recently announce it has the capacity to defend a limited area of the country for one week. Confirmed by Swedens oberstbefehl. It's a weak military power.
