Turkeys Little Tricks

Turkey has long claimed to be "European" and that its demands to be admitted into the European Union would not be a risk to the values it represents.

Turkey's European Claim An Accident Of History?
An Accident Of History

However as this blog has often noted, the Turks rarely if ever meet the European norms in many areas, from freedom of conscience, speech or religion, to law and order. Today came the news that Omar al-Bashir the President of Sudan, and a man who has been indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court (ICC), is to visit Turkey, with no risk of arrest.

As discussed on an earlier post, many in "The Arab League" (yes them again) , are signatories to the ICC rules (but ignore it in all respects), and so are all the members of the EU, but oddly for a country that claims to be "European", Turkey isn't.

Just another little item on the growing list of Turkeys failure to get ready for "European Union" membership.

    Interestingly, he has pulled out of the visit today after EU and US pressure.

    The Turks didn't cancel the visit but Sudan understood the difficulties .... Earlier, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan questioned the charges against Mr Bashir and said that "no Muslim could perpetrate a genocide", according to Turkey's Anatolia news agency.

    In other words they are in genocide denial again .... what a nasty little man the Turkish Prime Minister is.

    In an increasingly islamified Europe, the future for Jews seems poor at best and genocide denial by Turkey, which should stop their EU claims completely, appear to be ignored by politicians.
