Turska je zapretila Francuskoj da će na međunarodnim sastancima osuđivati kolonijalnu prošlost te zemlje zbog stava Pariza prema ubistvima Jermena u vreme Otomanskog carstva.
Milion i po Jermena nastradalo tokom Otomanskog carstva: Pitanje je kojim terminom se taj zločin naziva
Turska odbacuje termin genocid u opisu ubistava Jermena pre više od 90 godina. Prema pretpostavkama istoričara, oko 1,5 miliona Jermena je ubijeno, a stručnjaci smatraju da je to bio prvi genocid u 20. veku.
Ubistva Jermena Francuska smatra genocidom. Donji dom francuskog parlamenta diskutovaće o predlogu prema kojem će svako ko negira da je masakr nad Jermena bio genocid biti kažnjen godinom dana zatvora i novčano u iznosu od 45.000 evra.
Ovo pitanje preti da naškodi tursko-francuskim odnosima koji su već narušeni protivljenjem francuskog predsednika Nikole Sarkozija članstvu Turske u EU.
Turska je zapretila povlačenjem svog ambasadora iz Francuske u slučaju usvajanja nacrta zakona o negiranju genocida, dok je premijer Redžep Tajip Erdogan rekao da bi Pariz trebalo da istražuje dešavanja u Alžiru i Ruandi.
Francuzi su imali svoje snage u Ruandi 1994. godine, a predsednik te afričke države Pol Kagame optužio je Pariz da je malo učinio na zaustavljanju genocida.
Šef turske diplomatije Ahmet Davutoglu zapretio je da će Ankara izneti pitanje "francuskog kolonijalizma" i da će "početi da govori o istinama svuda u svetu".
jazbar ::Turska se tako obeshrabruje na putu ulaska u EU, jer je niko ne želi kao članicu.
Turska na puta ka EU?
Mozda na kruznoj zatvorenoj stazi...kao za karting, malo lijevo, pa desno, pa opet na start/cilj..
Nema njih ko sta da obeshrabruje, i oni i EU znaju da nikad nece biti clanica.
Nedavno sam rekao, da Turska mora negdje da se vojno angazuje, ili ce protiv Sirije i Irana ili u svojoj kuci...a kako stvari stoje ne bi me cudilo i na sva tri fronta jednovremeno.
Kuva se tamo dobro, jos par sastojaka i lonac je gotov do marta

Sva tri frona jednovremeno? Ako se ne varam, Osmansko Carstvo je prošlost još od 1922...Nisu Turci blesavi pa da uvuku zemlju u rat na 'tri fronta jednovremeno' i da biju boj namjenjen drugome. Mogu posuditi par aviona u nekoj mogućoj akciji u budućnosti protiv Sirije, ali više od toga doista ne vjerujem...

Syrian opposition calls for foreign intervention
Citat:Syria's opposition wants an Arab military intervention to “protect civilians from government security forces” – even after Damascus signed an Arab League protocol allowing observers to monitor a regional peace initiative to end months of bloodshed.
The opposition dismissed the deal as a stalling tactic.
The decision has been branded “a ploy” by the SNC, the opposition outside Syria. Meanwhile, however, the opposition inside the country has welcomed the move.
“We hope it’s going to be implemented on the ground as it is stated in the protocol,” a member of National Coalition Council Mahmoud Murai said. “And we remain completely against international intervention: it would lead the country to destruction.”

I rendered my considered advice last week to all and sundry to ‘fasten seat belts’ as Vladimir Putin hits the campaign trail. Maybe, for the first time in Russian history, there is going to be an election with all the trammels of democracy. Including the trammels that are commonly associated with American elections. I think Putin is going to show that it is not the exclusive prerogative of American politicians to speak out while on the campaign trail, uninhibited by the constraints of public office.
Well, sparks are beginning to fly if Putin’s latest remarks are any indication. (I hope our PM Manmohan Singh doesn’t get burned.)
Putin has dispatched Senator John McCain back to the Vietnam War era, when as a pilot he used to bomb Vietnamese villages - comparing him with, say, Lady Macbeth who couldn’t wash off the blood stains on her hands with all the waters in the world’s oceans.
But more important is Putin’s resuscitation of the allegation that the Barack Obama administration deliberately murdered Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The explosive potential of the charge is such that Pentagon scrambled to react within hours. The White House would have known instantaneously that Putin surely is in possession of hard intelligence backing his allegation, and that it would cast Obama in a somewhat bad light as a sly murderer. Pentagon has given the waffly explanation that US had no troops on the ground. But Putin didn’t say so, either. He spoke of drone attack. Howzaat?
Of course, no one is going to haul Obama to the Hague as a war criminal as if he were Slobodan Milosovich. That isn’t the point. What is emerging without doubt is that Putin is not going to allow the US to stage a replay of the 1996 presidential election, where communist leader Gennady Zyuganov might have defeated Boris Yeltsin but for the blatant rigging with US backing, which ensured the re-election of Yeltsin, who was already a very unpopular figure in Russia.
By the way, there is an interesting chapter on this episode in Strobe Talbott’s book, The Russia Hand, where it is described how the Bill Clinton administration literally rescued Yeltsin from the jaws of electoral defeat by helping out on his campaign strategy. Imagine, what would have been the course of world politics if a communist leader had been elected as president in Russia in 1996 in a ‘free and fair’ election.
Like in 1996, the stakes are very high for the US. A Putin presidency is an extremely disconcerting thought for Washington at a juncture when a last-ditch attempt is being made to re-establish the western hegemony over the Middle East and the jury is out as to the shape of things to come in Asia-Pacific. Washington will do all it can to disrupt or at least weaken Putin’s candidacy. Obama will solicit even the blissfully-happy veteran McCain’s services at the barricades.

Meni je jako zanimljiv diplomatski sukob, ako moze tako da se nazove, izmedju Francuske i Turske.
Turska zna da od ulaska u EU nema nista dok su u EU Nemacka i Austrija. U Nemackoj zive milioni Turaka, i Nemci su rekli da jednostavno ne moze da otvori granice prema Turskoj, ko zna koliko bi ih onda doslo u Nemacku. U Austriji Bec vec zovu mali Istanbul, to vec sve kaze.
Diplomatski sukob mi je interesantan iz drugog aspekta. Od Turske se trazi da gazi zemlju u kojoj zive muslimani. I ko zna, mozda se posle toga ide i dalje na Iran, opet muslimani. Da li Turska sme da rizikuje tako nesto zbog svojih gradjana? Setite se njene uloge u ratu u Libiji. Nisu hteli da se mesaju, bili su na pocetku protiv intervencije NATO ali su ipak poslali jedan brod, ali to je sve. Isto kao i da nisu ucestvovali.
Pitanje je, koliko je u Turskoj jak onaj konzervativni islamisticki deo populacije, i da li Turska zbog toga moze sebi da dopusti ucesce u ratu protiv zemalja u kojima zive prevashodno muslimani.
Mislim da turski narod ne bi gledao sa odusevljenjem na ucesce u ratu protiv muslimanske brace.
Da li Turska treba EU ili EU treba Tursku? Trenutačno, situacija u EU je takva da bi samo budala zaželjela pristupiti toj organizaciji. Ja osobno ne vjerujem da će se Turska izravno umješati u sukob s Sirijom, a kamoli s Iranom. To ne bi bio sukob od par tjedana, već krvavi rat koji bi se rastegao tko zna koliko. Ne vjerujem da bi običan narod Turske bio za to..
Ako se ne varam, Osmansko Carstvo je prošlost još od 1922...Nisu Turci blesavi pa da uvuku zemlju u rat na 'tri fronta jednovremeno' i da biju boj namjenjen drugome. Mogu
