Re: Armenia invites Turkish president to football match

Good comment! Indeed they are "modern", they still practice honour killings (when a woman commits adultery, her father and brothers can stone her to death), they recently authorised wearing the veil in public and the killer of a prominent journalist takes pictures with police officers, proudly waving the Turkish flag. The epitomy of "modernity".

In my opinion, Bush thinks they are such a great role model, because as a NATO member they are providing a convenient ally and a buffer against his alleged "axis of evil" in this part of the world. Plus, apart from Israel, they are the USA's only unconditional ally in the region.

Honour killings are not peculiar with Turks, it is peculiar with Kurdish citizens. Therefore it occurs 90% Eastern and Southestern Turkey

Okay folks, let's tone down the insults. This is not self-defense. If a Turk comes in and insults, I can understand. Kanki is (so far as I can tell), being civil, so let's show the same respect.

You are half Hungarian? Have you been in Hungary? Hungarian is a beautiful language! Do you speak it?

I have been there 3 times (Gyöngyös - my mother's some family members are there) I am not Hungary citizen. I was borned in Ankara, My mum is from Kutahya/Turkey they had started to live in Manisa. When Russia and Australia Empire attacked Hungary, they refuged Ottomans. Some family member turned Hungary, some of them are still Kutahya.

But I can't speak Magyar. very little

My mother met my father in Ankara University and I was borned

NATO ally?

Turkey is a NATO ally only when the war is on a non-Muslim country. RA been far more helpful to the U.S. especially with Afghanistan. The U.S. been using RA air space to conduct both air strikes and humanitarian operations in Afghanistan. While Turkey denied the use of its air space to the U.S. Since 2001. Last year November Turkey even denied Armenian Airlines the use of its precious air space for flights to Syria and Lebanon.

And does the Turkish government punish those that commit "honor killings".

No matter what your answer is, you have to admit stoning a human to death is barbaric no matter what kind of a crime they committed.
