Turkey to build wall on Iranian border


The Caspian Hare

Turkey has started building a wall along its border with Iran in parallel with the Turkish barrier along the Syrian frontier, a Turkish media report says.

Turkey’s private Dogan news agency said on Tuesday that the governor of Agri province, Suleyman Elban, had visited the construction process of the security wall.

It added that Ankara is constructing the 2-meter wide, 3-meter high wall with portable blocks.

Turkey claims that the construction work is aimed at improving security by halting the infiltration of Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants and illegal smugglers.

Building walls seems to be a new trend among dictators.

Erdogan isn't a dictator... he's a Caliph. (or seemingly wants to be :P )

Robert Frost’s poem, “Mending Wall,” reiterates the confusion that the proverb suggests. In the poem, two neighbors walk the length of their dividing wall each spring to mend whatever has fallen off. The speaker does not understand the purpose of the fence; however, his neighbor merely repeats the phrase, “good fences make good neighbors.” The speaker has no alternative but to continue this ritual with his neighbor each year despite his own belief that mending the wall is a waste of time.''

I think it's pretty weird that after all of his evil stunts, it took this for some people to admit he's a monster?

And this guy is also one of two leaders in the Muddle East that really should be in a padded cell, the other one being the King of the Saudis. 

 

When you make even the Iranians scratch their heads and take a step back, you gotta know you have issues.

Yeah, whatever happened to that German war crimes suite, filed back in early 2016 ? 

Oh wait... absolutely nothing. It has sunk without trace. So much, then, for the German MP's.

i think it was settled long time ago. i know many soviet Jewish immigrants who lived thru ww2 got paid, concentration camp survivors got paid even more,  of course it did not happen without scams, here few lawyers were arrested over faking info so people who were born after ww2 got paid too,

Umm...  yeah.. but .. I'm not talking about ww2. I'm talking about 2016 ? 

What is your opinion about the "war crimes suite" in the post ? Has anything happened ? 

Or was it just a cynical attempt to score political points ?
