GREEK AMBASSADOR SUMMONED OVER OFFENDING MAP; TURKEY EXPECTS APOLOGY
Greek Ambassador to Ankara George Yennimatas was summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Saturday over a map showing a divided Turkey which was used last week in Athens during a seminar by the Greek General Staff. According to diplomatic sources, Turkeyâ€™s displeasure over the map was conveyed to Yennimatas. Sources stated that the Turkish Embassy in Athens is also expected to register a protest. /Cumhuriyet/

Now now brother, don't put words in my mouth that I did not utter. I did not say that Turkey should not exist. I just said that I have a map that doesn't even show Turkey. I meant, that it doesn't show Turkey where it currently is. Turkey can exist on a map, where it belongs, somewhere between Turkmenistan and Tadjikistan.. south west of Mongolia.

But no, not in Asia Minor. As it should be.

By the way. Why isn't the Greek government summoning the Turkish Ambassador to account for why there is a map in the Turkish national assembly showing a divided Cyprus? They should be calling them every day until a satisfactory answer is given.

Of course Greek politicans by their nature are whores to angloamerican policies and have the spine of a slug, so no wonder.

BTW, I would like to see this map, if possible. Is there a link? I am curious what the division signified, or was it just an ad hoc strike with a green marker with no particular reasoning behind it.

In a democracy people rule, and hence shape the laws of the lands which is rightfully theirs. In Cyprus there is a problem, since despite the fact that the rightful owners of the lands from the occupied north can exercise their right to vote and be voted, the executive powers which stem from these votes are suspended due to the occupation. Hence, even though a Mayor of Kyrenia is democratically elected, he is prevented in most cases from acting as such due to the illegal Turkish occupation. If the illegal Turkish occupation of the northern areas of Cyprus was lifted, Cyprus would be far more democratic. Regardless of that fact, we still try and we are far far ahead than either the Turkish regime or the Pinnochio state in the north.

But I don't need to tell you all this, you can ask the EU if Cyprus is democratic or not.
