I would consider Turks and Turkish Cypriots different.

Likewise, I would consider people from Balikesir as very different to people from north Sivas, ethnically, culturally, and to a lesser extent, linguistically. But what's your point. That every single minuscule province should become its own country since no two groups of people are the same?

Errors in the Cypruss Policy-Ahmet Nuri Yurdusev

There is a news website I read which is actually a Turkish news site, but offers the news in English. Its called Today's Zaman. I came across this article about what is just an opinion of the author, about the "Cypruss Policy"(?) posted today, so maybe something related to what the current discussion is. degil mi?

I read the article and now understand some of the concerns here if its on the same track. Looks like something was going down? I wanted to share but also say I kind of agree about one of the points of the article, about changing the priority of the 3 parameters outlined in the policy, though I am not sure if my opinion would count there as I am just a foreigner.

Does that make me pro or anti ? Do you think it should be re-ordered?

If you had listened to Erdogan's statements more attentively, you would have noticed that he did stress humanitarian values. He said unequivocally that the 1974 Peace Operation was done to liberate Cyprus and to save Turkish Cypriots from the Enosis, Akritas, and Iphestos genocide plans and rescue us from Greek Cypriot opression. He also said that Turkish people gave their blood to save the lives of Cyprus Turks.

The French president was accused of chewing gum ‘offensively’ as he arrived on a visit to the Turkish capital.

When he left several hours later, city mayor Melih Gokcek returned the gesture, chewing openly as he saw the president off.

‘Sarkozy came down the steps of his plane chewing a wad of gum,’ said Mr Gokcek. ‘He stopped for a moment, looked around and continued to chew. I was offended.

‘Previously, he showed similar disrespect to our president Abdullah Gul in France.

‘So when we were seeing him off, I never took out the chewing gum from my mouth. Someone had to respond.’

Mr Sarkozy, who has angered Turkey by opposing its entry to the EU, declined to comment on Friday’s incident.

"Nicolas Sarkozy in gum fight with Turkish mayor."
Relations between France and Turkey suffered a minty-fresh setback as Nicolas Sarkozy and the mayor of Ankara engaged in a ‘gum war’.

Nicolas Sarkozy's face in that photo should become an internet meme.

Did someone say meme!?

/Sorry I could not resist. Its all in fun, no offense to the French or their president.

Alright so Trabzon beat Besiktas 2-1 (last minute Burak goal), GS drew 0-0 with Karabuk. Fener still has to play tommorow vs Genclerbirligi, its an interesting title race this year if I had to pick a champion I'd say Trabzonspor. Primarily because of two reasons Trabzon haven't won a championship since the 80s, furthermore it'd show that the league isn't just about the Istanbul based teams anymore.

Two champions outside of Istanbul two years in a row, would be immense for this league.

I know. Tough luck to Fener as well seeing as Trabzon is their real competion.

I'm here, too LOL
