Reader comment on item: Symposium: Turkey: The Road to Sharia?
in response to reader comment: no way

Submitted by Erdem (Turkey), Oct 24, 2006 at 16:28

Turks have come to Anatolia just to increase their land to rule. Not to kill greeks or someone else. This is the way through all centuries. Greeks were trying to rule arabic countries before the Turkish arrival. Tell me; what were you greeks supposed to do there? See, greeks are as barbarians as much as Turks. So the germans, the britanians, the french, the americans. Thats how world goes around, open your eyes!

I am a well educated Turk, speaking three languages, travelling all around world. Dont worry we are not willing much to enter the EU. Because our country has a very young population which means "market only" to EU. I dont want my currency to flow to Europe. Do you greek guys remember, before EU your country was producing many industrial goods. What about now? Greece is only another route of vacation for rich European tourists. Greece is dominized by EU. Lost industry, agriculture and everything. Keep ignoring my coutry being a full member of EU. We will do better left alone.
