Forgive me for calling out your comment shallow. As a former Turkish resident, I did try and make an effort in reading up and understanding about Turkey.
While it is not fair to say I have no idea about Turkish history, I might have missed the mark. Please feel free to correct me, I can take criticism. I take it better than an offhand remark that I am clueless.
The thing is I am sick and tired of correcting simple mistakes. Basically almost all your comments requires at least a paragraph of explanation - correction - counter arguments, and to be honest I don't think there is a point of doing it.
It's not about you, only just couldn't hold myself, sorry about non constructive reply.
I know in 1974 Turkey invaded a European country and is still holding its land. Now you will say it was a peace keeping operation which might not be true but in case it is, its 2014, and Turkish military is still occupying the land of another country. An EU country which obviously veto's its accession to the EU.
When I said shallow, I exactly meant comments like this. What was the circumstances? How about 1974 Cypriot coup d'état by EOKA-B by the support of Greek military Junta? Nikos Samson's nice words about joining homeland? Death of hundreds of civilians? Sorry but nothing is as simple as it seems.
