Yervant1 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Once again AG is being used for political purposes by Israel. TEL AVIV MAY END ISRAELI SUPPORT FOR TURKEY'S GENOCIDE DENIAL POLICY News.am 13:10 / 10/15/2009 The decision canceling Israel's participation in Turkish and NATO was an expression of the Turkish people's will, Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated in his interview with the Al Jazeera TV channel. According to him, the Turkish Government took the public opinion into account. The Government discussed the problem and decided against Israel's participation in the air force maneuvers, Erdogan said. He pointed out the necessity for considering all the diplomatic delicacies of the problem. In his recent interview with CNN, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu stated that the reason for the decision is the situation in the Gaza Strip. According to him, the maneuvers were canceled because the United State and Italy decided to. It was, however, after Turkey refused to receive the Israeli pilots that dropped bombs on Gaza civilians. Some in Israel voice fears that Turkey's ruling party has managed to overcome the army's opposition, and the traditional Israeli-Turkish cooperation is coming to its end. Moreover, some hold the opinion that Turkey is ready for forming an alliance with Iran, and the recent agreement with Armenia may be evidence thereof. Turkey is also consolidating its relations with the Syrian regime, and the new axis, Ankara-Damask-Teheran, may pose a special threat to Israel. The Turkish authorities, however, do not seem to be concerned over the facts. The Turkish television demonstrated a video record with an Israeli man killing a child. A serial showing Israeli servicemen as bloodthirsty child-killers proved to be the last straw for Israel. In this connection, Avigdor Lieberman, Israeli Foreign Minister has summoned the Turkish Ambassador to Israel. According to him, demonstrations like that stir up hatred for Israel. The Israel-based Zman.com points out that Turkey's overtly anti-Semitic demarche may block her way to the European Union. The former Israeli Consul to Turkey Moti ization in Turkey since Erdogan came to power there. Referring to a source at the Israeli foreign Office, the Israeli Government has arrived at the inevitable conclusion that, against the present changes in Turkey, it can no longer act as mediator between Israel and Syria. The new tendencies in Ankara's foreign policy are being highlighted by IzRus. Against the growing tension in the relations with Turkey, the Israeli leaders are closely watching Ankara's policy both in the Caucasus and in the Near East, being skeptic about its chances to reap dividends from Armenian-Turkish rapprochement. Analysts think Turkey made this step for the primary purpose of improving its image and chances to join the European Union. It is noteworthy that, in one of its articles The Jerusalem Post daily (Israel) reported that, in regards to the exercises dispute, Israeli officials said they would end Israeli support for Turkey in its efforts to stop the US Congress voting to declare the killings of Anatolian Armenians by the Ottoman Turks genocide.

Arpa Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) Yervant, was this not a Comedistan item? There is an old saying - Շան ատամը եւ խոզին կաշին-Shan atam@ yev khozin kashin- dog’s fangs and the pig’s skin. Or is it like Raffi says in Khent- "Shun@ shnits, erkousn el mi tnits". Of course, he was talking about kurds and furks. Have thiings changed? http://www.fotosearch.com/bigcomp.asp?path...36/bxp40843.jpg Do pigs fly?** http://www.gan.ca/old/images/campaigns/exc...igs_flying.jpeg It fits them perfectly. Let’s see who has the sharper fangs and who the tougher skin. This a long awaited dogfight , specially when history-schmistory was rewritten to show how the pig-dog and the pig-wolf have been long time friends. No we can sit in the stands and cheer or boo as the case may be. Howl howl-oink oink. Where are the Fuxmans, Solarz's and Loeweys? ** The Marash culture furkish boys were known as "lakot" and the girls as "khzak".

Yervant1 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 ISRAELIS PUNISHING TURKS WITH UNOFFICIAL TOURIST BOYCOTT by Gil Ronen IsraelNN.com 10/15/09, 10:41 PM (IsraelNN.com) Israel tourists are punishing Turkey over its latest insults to Jews and Israel by boycotting its tourist industry. Arutz Sheva in Hebrew surveyed a number of tourist agencies in Israel and has found that there has been a drop in demand for tourist resorts in the last week. "The end of the season plus the crisis between Turkey and Israel have hit tourism severely," a tourism agency representative said. Turkey has been a favorite vacation spot for Israelis for many years but in recent years, Israeli tourists have taken to boycotting it after diplomatic spats between the country's leaders. In the Passover season, Turkish resorts were reportedly hit hard by an unofficial Israeli tourist boycott after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's attack on Israel at the Davos conference. 'Turkish coffee' ban Israeli coffee shop chain Ilan's has announced it will no longer serve its customers Turkish coffee, in protest of the airing of a grossly anti-Israeli scene in a Turkish television show. The scene showed IDF officers supposedly shooting Arab babies. Ilan's marketing manager said that "like all Israelis, we too were shocked to see the nauseating scenes from films showing IDF soldiers supposedly shooting small children. We believe everyone can take action [against the film] in his own way, and this is our modest and symbolic way." The manager, Michal Shteg, said that "right now we have decided to stop selling 'Istanbul Coffee,' our Turkish blend, and we will continue like this until the situation improves." "True, this is not a boycott that will hurt Turkey financially, it is not the boycott of IKEA - but this is a cultural boycott and a patriotic act, which expressed our lack of will to identify with those who act almost anti-Semitically. Because before everything - we are Israelis first." Armenian genocide reminder The "Im Tirz st rally at 12:30 on Friday opposite the Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv. "Following the ugly anti-Semitic incitement of the past few days by the official Turkish TV station and the Turkish Prime Minister we will hold a performance to highlight the extent of the Turkish government's hypocrisy and lies," the movement announced. "On the one hand," it explained, "the Turks continue to deny the holocaust which they perpetrated against the Armenians between 1915 and 1918, and [yet] at the same time they dare to spread blood libels and lies about the State of Israel and the IDF." The display will include photos from the Armenian genocide. Books about the genocide will be handed out to passersby and signs will be carried, calling on the Turks to take responsibility for the genocide they perpetrated.
