Turkey to shape new patterns within Muslim world

Sadly, I am not around anyone who plays Monopoly or Chess but the strategic alignments of partnerships better sense to me when people argue over the ruffles and lace.
 
The human rights issue?

Turkey's Human Rights Record Impedes European Integration

When asked about the denial of EU membership to Turkey, European politicians will invariably cite human rights concerns. While the concern is genuine, this response might also be triggered by the fact that human rights is a more politically correct reason than the many other legitimate reasons for Europe to doubt Turkey's ability to uphold the obligations of a member state. A more honest response might cite Turkey's financial instability, particularly its very high inflation rate; the animosity between Turkey and Greece, which is already an EU member, over Cyprus and other issues; and fear that open immigration between Turkey and other member states would result in a flood of immigrants because of the Kurdish conflict and because Turkey's standard of living is still lower than most member states. In addition, there may be some legitimacy to the claim by Turkey that the EU is afraid to admit a country which is over 99% Islamic, even if it is a secular state.

Even if human rights are not the EU's primary concern, international criticism, coupled with Ankara's strong desire to join the EU, may provide Turkey with an incentive to improve its human rights standards. Turkey's efforts to woo Europe have so far resulted at least in superficial improvements such as the creation of a parliamentary commission on human rights, although the effectiveness of this commission is far from apparent at this point. In 1995 Turkey also amended the much-criticized Article 8 of its Anti-Terrorist Law to lower the penalties and raise the burden of proof to require that the prosecutor at least prove seditious intent. Because the amendment was retroactive, over 100 prisoners were released just before the European Parliament was to vote on whether to approve the Customs Union with Turkey. These 100 prisoners represent a mere fraction of the total number still imprisoned under the Anti-Terrorist Law, but their release is certainly a step in the right direction.

The outcome of the struggle for human rights is crucial to Turkey's future. The Turkish people, for the most part, see themselves as Europeans and resent the constant criticisms of their internal politics. It is clear, however, that there are legitimate concerns about the ability of Turkey to live up to the human rights standards expected among European nations.

I'm not snubbing my nose at human rights issues... I'm only doubting that it would be the main factor because of the obvious history of the middle east.
 
Your link is from 1997.
Since then a lot of water has run down the Tigris.
And the financial unstable country is not Turkey anymore, but many EU countries.

I knew it was an older link but it says the same basic things I hear to be the concern of today's Turkey.

The more current issue: http://www.wcl.american.edu/hrbrief/18/3tabbara.pdf?rd=1

AND it is probably at this point better to add that Turkey is only one middle eastern country who's human rights violations are being discussed here. There is much more at hand than what Turkey brings to the table.

And you are one of the anti-semitic supporters. No guts to post in here, but guts to neg.

Come on bones, show your backbone.

After you have a few tokes that is.

Unless you forget... :thup:
 
Ropey, I won't post our pms unless I have to as they don't reveal anything you haven't already on the board. When posters reveal things about Israel and/or about Jews why do you take it personally? Are you a rep for all the Jews? Do you all carry the same scars? The same load? Sharing the same faults? What about Israel? Are you just as sensitive toward anyone exposing potential truths toward Israel? Like the fact that they have human rights violations as well? Should we maybe make another topic specifically about Israel so that you could maybe reign there? I am not poking you so neg rep me all you like, I am genuinely attempting to understand why you are so certain when someone posts about Jews that they are referring to YOU.

Post whatever you like. I will never pm you again since you are so willing to post my words in pm out here. (too bad they are the same eh?)

This is a thread about "Turkey to shape new patterns within Muslim world" but Sunni Man jumped it into being about Jews and you accelerated that when you also targeted (your words) the OP with a statement about Jews and the Holocaust.

Now you try and turn it into it being an attack on me? Your post about the Jews having some members who deny the holocaust was as history shows.

"Turkey to shape new patterns within Muslim world"

^^ OP

I don't know what passes as thinking in your frame of reference, but it sure seems rather vapid to me.

Turkey brings little to the table. How many Nobel Prize winners has Turkey produced among its 80 million Muslims? Not one. What products does Turkey export that have global demand? Not one. Turkey is just another backward Islamic shithole that makes no meaningful contribution to the world.

Massachussets Institute of Technology [MIT]...
As a world leader in science and technology, Israel excels in such areas as genetics, medicine, agriculture, computer sciences, electronics, optics, and engineering. Scientists at Israeli universities such as Bar Ilan University, Ben Gurion University, Haifa University, Hebrew University, The Technion--Israel Institute of Technology, Tel Aviv University and the Weizmann Institute of Science are pioneers in areas such as stem cell-based tissue engineering, nanotechnology, high-resolution electron microscopy, and solar energy. Israeli companies have developed such diverse products as the first anti-virus package, technologies that allow you to leave voice mail on mobile phones, and stents that save lives by keeping the arteries to the heart open.

What is your obsession with the Nobel Prize? Is it your contention that no country on earth is legitimate unless they meet some Nobel quota? Or are you just some strange fan-boy?

Maybe, Turkey ought to be more obsessed with making meaningful contributions to society that would be recognized with the Nobel Prize and less obsessed with being a pariah state.
 
The only inferiority complex I'm seeing here is from that jstone douchebag with his strange agenda. It seems bigots on all sides are very committed to their bullshit.
