Reader comment on item: Erdoğan Bares His Fangs
in response to reader comment: What is the west reaping anyway??

Submitted by Turkish-Soldier (Turkey), Jan 13, 2009 at 05:55

Did USA support Kurds? Yes. Did Israelis support Kurds? Yes. Did my soldiers martyr in the clashes? Yes. US, EU and Israel lost PR long time ago here.

Therefore, Turks began to see US and Israel as a threat. Btw PM Erdogan is a Muslim Georgian. Not a Turk. But unfortunately he represents my country. The language he used is disturbing. But again, it is the streets which give him this courage to talk that way.

As long as western powers help separatist Kurds, and hatred towards Turks continues, "the deadly combination of Turkishness and Islam" will appear on surface. I liked these words of yours. True. :)
