Very well done by that Assyrian! That way Europeans can still learn some
more about typical, Turkish, practiced fascism and hypocrisy that seems so
hard to grasp for starry-eyed Westerners.
Compare the content of the above to what Turkish PM Erdogan actually said
in
Germany a few days ago:
http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,534724,00.html
"German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her conservatives have heaped
criticism
on Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan for telling Germany's 2.5
million Turkish immigrants that "assimilation is a crime against
humanity."
Erdogan, speaking in front of almost 20,000 people (more...) at a stadium
in
the German city of Cologne on Sunday, called for people of Turkish descent
not to give up their cultural heritage."
Yet in Turkey people are COMPELLED to "assimilate" and even deny their
identity! What a despicable, rotten country! How could anyone have ever
considered to let that country join the EU!
