	 Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has stormed off the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos after an argument with Israel´s president. Mr Erdogan clashed with Shimon Peres in a discussion on the recent fighting in the Gaza Strip, telling him: "You are killing people."
 Mr Peres said Mr Erdogan would have done the same had rockets hit Istanbul.

	 Is this a good thing that he stormed off?   I don´t know, for some reason, politicians that have no control over their emotions make me a bit nervous. |  |

And also, I think, he is playing into internal politics as well. Because there will be local elections very soon.. I am sure Turkish foreign diplomats are tearing their hair off right now.. |  |
