I cant wait for the italian prosecution office to seize his 'assets'.


Partly. It was also rumoured that in the run-up to the recent phony general election, Bilal took a huge stash of his family's illicit cash to Italy (where he registered himself as a PhD student), just in case.


Funny thing is, as soon as the AKP (Erdogan) were the winners of the election, he dropped out of his PHD course. :lol:

We all know he was sent to Italy to be safe with his family and some spending money (a billion or two) in case the AKP had lost again. :wink:

The whole country is so corrupt, from the president down to the average man on the street. No different than any other Muslim country really. :evil:

The AKP government tells more porkies than there are pigs in the world! :lol:

What Turkey needs these days is another military coup to take over to save the country and to send ALL these corrupt official to lifetime in jail, much like in other so called democratic Muslim countries. :idea:


My above comment was meant to be a continuation of the above sub-thread, by the way.

Syrian army enters Islamic State-held Palmyra (Updated)

http://cyprus-mail.com/2016/03/24/syria ... d-palmyra/

Syrian government forces fought their way into Palmyra on Thursday as the army backed by Russian air cover sought to recapture the historic city from Islamic State (IS) insurgents, Syrian state TV and a monitoring group said.

A U.S.-led coalition, which is conducting air strikes in Syria and Iraq against IS, said it hit IS targets near Palmyra on Wednesday.

This was the first coalition strike in the Palmyra area since March 4, around the time Syria began an offensive to take back Palmyra.

Before that there were two strikes at the end of January.


...interesting.

Field Commander of the Desert Falcons: "We Thank Putin for the Liberation of Palmyra"
Translated by Ollie Richardson for Fort Russ
27th March, 2016


The field commander of the Syrian "Desert Falcons" army brigade, in an interview with RT, commented on the joint government army operation for the liberation of the ancient city of Palmyra from the terrorists. He expressed gratitude to Vladimir Putin on behalf of the Syrian people and noted that while other countries have supported the terrorists, Russia assisted the residents and the army of Syria against the "Islamic State".

"Everything happened in several stages. Our army was able to surround and return Palmyra. The main difficulty was that the terrorists had left a lot of mines on the roads," he said. According to him, they have managed to clear some roads, but the work is still ongoing. He also emphasized that this victory would not have been possible without the support of Russia and President Vladimir Putin.

"For this victory we thank President Putin, who helped our country and our army, unlike other countries that supported terrorists. We say a big thank you on behalf of our government and people, we respect and love the Russian people," said the field commander. The international lawyer Franklin Lamb thinks that the Syrian army and its allies will continue to move towards the city of Raqqa to fight the terrorists who fled there.

As a reminder, this morning the Syrian army and "Desert Falcons" recaptured the ancient city of Palmyra from the fighters of the "Islamic State", which was under their control for almost a year.

According to recent reports, the bomb squad of the Syrian Army has already begun to sweep the surviving buildings. Presumably, focal weak resistance from the terrorists continues in the area of the airfield, but the army and militias are in full control of the city.

The ancient ruins of Palmyra are one of the six world heritage sites of UNESCO in Syria. After the city was captured, its many monuments were under the threat of destruction. In particular, terrorists from ISIS destroyed the Balsamina and Bel temples. The extremists also blew up funeral columns and the triumphal arch, which was a symbol of Palmyra.

The reason for the US call that 'Assad must go!' was because he treats his people badly. This is the prime driver of the war against Assad and the Syrian people...... and some people even love them and their country. We, the US/UK arm these animals with modern weapons so that they can kill ............. no wonder Islam is such a threat to Europe.

Coming to a country near you .........:roll:

Yes, Assad must go. And he will be going very soon. It's not possible for Assad to remain.
