Like it or not Turkey is an important country and so is our help to Afgan people. We are doing there rebuilding, hospitals, schools, homes, roads, bridges, healthcare to the people, it cost us hundreds of millions dollars but its worth it, in the end of the day we have millions of poor, suffering people all around the world who are all praying for us! All those prayers will be accepted you know what that means? The world isnt only about materialism!
And Erdogan isnt only talking! Your country will learn day by day what it means to kill our people! The process has already been started! Your country is so much weaker today because of us and the truth is we just started!! Ofcourse you wont admit that and hide it!
Explain how they are weaker? All I see is Erdogan attempting to rally countries who were already pro-palistinian. And getting upset when he didn't get his way at the UN in regards to the flotilla incident. Now he has backed himself into a corner and already back tracked to some degree.
His threat to file a complaint with the international court of justice rings hollow. And shows his lack of understanding on how the court works. He also said he would file the complaint within a week which we still have yet to see. One reason is most likely reality has set in. How can Turkey who is not a signer to the ICJ (international court of justice) bring a complaint agianst another party who is also not a signer to the ICJ. as the courts own website says:
Declarations Recognizing the Jurisdiction of the Court as Compulsory*|*International Court of Justice
"The States parties to the Statute of the Court may "at any time declare that they recognize as compulsory ipso facto and without special agreement, in relation to any other State accepting the same obligation, the jurisdiction of the Court" (Art 36, para. 2 of the Statute).
Each State which has recognized the compulsory jurisdiction of the Court has in principle the right to bring any one or more other State which has accepted the same obligation before the Court by filing an application instituting proceedings with the Court, and, conversely, it has undertaken to appear before the Court should proceedings be instituted against it by one or more such other States."
