I think that they may legally have a case as they are providing an alternative for transit. In other words they are not stopping anyone from accessing or leaving the black sea other than those stated in the treaty. They must have a good legal position other wise the Canal Istanbul project would...

I think recent developments in Ukraine and this admission by minister is just to put pressure on Russia so that they get concessions in Syria etc. In other words the Russians are playing dirty so the Turks are showing that they can play the game too. I don't think that this means that they will...

Why can't you have the canal and the treaty stays in place? At the same time all military and cargo vessels have to transit the canal rather than the straights.

What Turkey needs is a decent opposition party to voice public concerns or opinions instead of constant declarations and protests that are always politically motivated.

He's an idiot for doing that but most likely AKP testing the water to gauge public opinion.

What disturbed me is that what's to say these people are not influenced (or lobbied) from people abroad, especially enemies of the State or State enemies.

Why are former military personnel collectively involving themselves in politics? Some members make comparisons between Turkey and Western "Ideals" but give us an example in the West where this has happened. This also reminds me of the University professors that wrote a letter against operations...

It was determined that only 7 of 108 suspects detained in the unauthorized demonstrations at Boğaziçi University on February 1 were students of Boğaziçi University.

Are these "sons of Turkey?" We strive to protect our students and universities from terrorism, radicalism, and vandalism. We also know the dirty networks behind this violence. Science, freedom and democracy are our values, not these!

Why don't they use a separate vehicle for launch to carry the aircraft into the air using helicopter like rotors and then drop the aircraft which will use its own trust after it has been released. Landing would have to be conventional though. Or even launching aircraft like space rockets using...

Final (agreed) piece will be returned on 1st December. Then I will celebrate.

Where is Dadivank? Where is the checkpoint? :D

Taking shape on liveumap. Just the East to go. Agdam is a relief. Let's hope there are no major concessions in the remaining areas.

I don't think that area was reforested for ecological reasons because it was done so soon. Most likely for strategic reasons and they planted quickest growing species. We have seen now in this conflict the importance of forest cover for ground troops. But it could have been done with natural...
