The title is self explanatory. The texts is a passionate argument against the pressure on Dutch politicians of Turkish descent to either accept the "fact of the genocide" or be thrown out of the party!

Turkey is shamefully occupying Cyprus since 1974. And it is a shame that the generals who lead the evil operation have not yet been sentenced fot crimes against humanity and crimes of war and displacement of 200.000 Greek and stealing their property and homes. Horrible atrocities have been comitted and after after 34 years, 1450 Greek are still MISSING. It is supposed that since 1974 many of them have been used to extract their internal organs, like kidneys, lungs etc... for transplantation to accidented people or ill people in Turkey and then the dead Greek people were pulled out of planes in the middle of the sea. How can a country with such a curriculum become a MEMBER OF EU? Well, only if we start thinking of EU like a kind of ethically blind organization who only sees crimes in their enemies, and Turkey is a friendly member of NATO, the military organization of the EU, which means Turks have immunity to do all kinds of crimes of war and against humanity for free. So let's go kill some Kurds now. Conratulations, EU.

This is such a bullshit it does not deserve a response.
The Greeks of Cyprus are a bunch of uncivilized, hateful lot that should have NEVER EVER be allowed to dirty the EU.
Get lost.

What's on?

fotoDuring the darkest of the winter one would hardly pack up and roam Turkey. Even its deepest south, right there by Alexandreta and Hatay, although covered with lush citrus gardens in full harvest - is not exactly warm. There are at least 20 events on the programe for the Turkey Now Festival and one of the highlights is a jazz concert that you can sample here: the well known Ayse Tutuncu Trio but other stuff as well. You will enjoy the rhythm and the temperament of Turkey here in Amsterdam right for St. Valentine day! Click for the full program in Dutch and Turkish. Pure Music and Art - good for the soul!

They may not be whoring but wantoon they are

fotoOne may be confused with the people of the South. They are so pationate. Begin from its West or East coast - all the same. Fiery. Promiscuous. Volatile. Irrational. And now comes the sober Financial Times with this interpretation about the Greek women whoring at such a grand scale. You might be interested to read my review of a book FOR THE LOVE OF WOMEN written by Elizabeth Kirtsoglou a professor at the University of Wales. She describes the life of a lesbian community in a town near Athens.

TURCIJA:MY FIRST BOOK

My very first real book is just out from the presses. It is lavishly revied peace of work in which I did my best to present Turkey and the Turks, Asia Minor, as acurately as possible. The reviewers (ethnic Turks and Macedonian) kind of insist that the 368 pages are written with lots of affection dor the people and the land, that it insists on dispersing the mists of prejudices and that it can be read as a novel. I also like the title. You can buy it from E-Bay (the Dutch branch)at € 12. This is the first book ever written and published in Macedonian about the people and the land which governed Macedonia and the Macedonians for nearly a half of the past millenium. I claim that we, the Macedonians, would have been incomparably better if the Ottoman Empire did not crumble about 100 years ago. The book in mirrored on the web-site WWW.TURCIJA.NET. My printers are expected to be ready with setting the book on GREECE (also in Macedonian, with plenty of detail, geography, history, arts, myths) which should be on sale for the main tourist season

foto foto fotoNeque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit I think Turkey deserves every possible argument supporting its impressive drive to full EU membership. This link takes you to a selection of my articles on Turkey and related issues. There are numerous posts entered that qualify under the term Macedonia . Some of them retain their intrinsic value, others are reminders of once acute issues. This link takes you to a full list of the entries related to Macedonia and its people.

MEMORABILIA

fotoThis is a worksite where an exhaustive collection of pictures-cum-comment posts pile up and will one nice day form a maze of memories I like visiting and re-visiting. They, the posts, will allow the visitor to add, correct, renege or comment in one decent way the entries. Eventually, people and places may be enlightened by fresh opinion and be a source for biographers and historians. Ambitious, eh? Thus Memorabilia you will have entered one very personal domain, my views of events, people and places which still compose my life. Be polite, not courteous, and if you leave a trace behind you, it will live for as long as this blog lives.

AROUND THE WORLD IN MANY YEARS

fotoSome of you may be interested in my impressions from travels around the world. Just begun developing that site. A bit early for promoting it, but that is how I tick. This is your link if you wish to visit. The trips have taken me over to Africa, Asia, North and South America, Australia and very much around Europe. The software of that facility counts as "one country" Lichtenstein with poor Vaduz and the USA with some 30 states (including Hawaii) as "one country" again. By such a count I have covered paltry 17% of the globe. See for yourselves if you like!

A JOKE A DAY KEEPS THE BLUES AWAY

A FAST MOUTH HURTS MORE THAN A BIG ONE? There was this big boss coming back from a successfull business trip so he thought he could have a break and told his driver to stop at the first seaside restaurant for a late lunch. When the driver parked the limousine, the capable secretary fixed a table by the shore and when he came from the restroom the appetizers were served and it was all spotless. During the middle of the lunch a golden fish sprung out of the water and somehow landed on the table. The Queen of magic fish said: -I am the one who fulfills those legendary three wishes. You are three, thus one for each of you. The secretary jumped elated and said: -I'd like to enjoy my life with my darling in beatiful villa someplace in the Carribean. -Piece of cake,-said the golden fish, flapped with the tail and the secretary was gone. Then the driver, almost stuttering, said: -I wish to pass my days with my wife and kids on Hawaii, in a mension and two chaufers for two big cars. The golden fish flapped with the tail and the driver was gone. After some time, the fish turned towards the boss and said: -What do you wait, it is your turn! -Cant't you see I am eating? When the boss finished eating, he said: -Bring those two smart-asses back, the lunch-break is over. MORALE OF THE STORY Do not speak ahead of your boss or you may be in for some nasty surprises.

MY BEST WEEKLY

fotoReading Times Literary Supplement Is one of my great pleasures. Sometimes I use the paper sometimes the on-line edition. The topics are carefully selected and absolutely first class. The enrages me often and I write letters to the Editor (Tom Stothard, he bloggs) who acknowledges the receipt but throws them in the bin, though I'd prefer the other way round. He will send you a sample copy for free so that you can check if I am right or no

ON MY NIGHT-TABLE

[L] Mark Mazower: THESSALONIKI, The City of Ghosts, Contact, 558 pp, 2005, When it becomes obvious that counting sheep will not help me sleep and when I have 10 mg Lexilium pill next to the glass of water (this text goes to my nerves) then I take this book. It is an ementaler-like history of Salonica. If Mazower carried on back-packing around - he might have produced a travelogue but I would not trust him with a thing he writes. Poorly read reviewers shamelessly say his text was exciting. Further to being greatly false - it is dull and so lopsided that I need to write a review. Do not throw away your money on this piece of crap. [L] Bas Soetenhorst en Michiel Zonneveld: AFREKENEN MET PEPER, Van Gennep, 235 pp, 2001 een spannende en onthullende reconstructie van de affaire. Met bijdragen van Leo Huberts en Hans van der Heuvel, Uri Rosenthal en Ruud Veenstra; Probably one of the most illustrative documents about the Dutch political zoo and its exotic exemplars. I have be re-reading this now and again. It is an effervescing spring of incredible twists of logic [L] Only curiosity made me buy, on the outbound flight to Turkey, Orhan Pamuk's Istanbul, Memoirs and the City. Of what I made myself read, this is one of those impressively misconceived and then miscarried products under the authors loom. It is more a sadly borring collection of family album images by an ambitious high-school brat than anything remotely similar to literature. If Mr. Pamuk did not decide to extend his superfluous views over the Armenian question - it is most improbable that the worthless text would have been reviewed at all. If you have €30 to spare you may consider rewarding yourself and three friends for a Burger King meal on Schiphol instead. There is always something far more interesting going on and you will have eventually created an event more memorable than this book by Orhan Pamuk.
