Turkey´s public prosecutor in Ankara has asked U.S. authorities to determine the identities of YouTube users that have posted insulting videos of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey, and hand them over to Turkey.

Why on earth would any person, Turk or non-Turk, ever insult Ataturk or the Turkish flag?

 

Do what you want to them.

 I suppose that depends on what you mean by "insult".  I certainly think it is best to look at every country and leader objectively

 

No leader is/was a god

 

As to thehandsom´s link...no comment   We have discussed and argued about such things before and I prefer to retire to the Translation Lounge

 I wonder what reward I would get from the Turkish government if I turned in a Turk who actually owns a copy of Midnight Express......Is that why you had to leave Turkey handsom?{#lang_emotions_lol_fast}
