I know Turkey is not an EU member which makes sense as they were the centre of the former Ottoman Empire and are in the Middle East with 99% of Turks identifying as Muslim while Greece IS in the EU and 98% are Greek Orthodox Christians.
I've always been fascinated with the island of Cyprus which is Turkish in the North but Greek across the south and the Republic of Cyprus is a member of the EU.
I read recently that Jews fleeing Israel are purchasing property in northern (Turkish/Muslim) Cyprus. Does this mean that Muslims and Jews really can get along?
I also read that there are two British military bases, Akrotiri and Dhekelia in the Southern Greek/Christian part and the Americans are flying 2-3 sorties a day to and from Israel.
Now (Muslim) Turkey are taking sides in (Muslim) Syria to "rescue" (Jewish) Israel? WTF?
Matt Kennard reports on daily flights from/to Cyprus of C-17 and A-400 transporting “supplies”.
