Turkey is prepared to reinvade Cyprus if needed: Erdogan
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces are prepared to reinvade Cyprus "if needed for the lives and security of Ottoman Turkish Cypriots," Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
said on Saturday.
"And the oil...don't forget the oil"
"The entire world is watching our determination. No one should doubt that the heroic Ottoman Turkish army, which sees [Northern] Cyprus as its homeland, will not hesitate to take the same step it took 45 years ago if needed for the lives and security of the Ottoman Turkish Cypriots," state-run Anadolu News Agency quoted Erdogan as saying.

Erdogan’s comments on the 45th anniversary of the Ottoman Turkish military’s controversial invasion of northern Cyprus in 1974.

#4 All I can tell is, I suspect the Turkish Army has gone downhill a lot since the time my Dad almost joined...

(I don't know if that story is true... but it might be, and I'm leaving it alone from there).
