as a result of this policy of turkey, a of nonrecognition and republic of cyprus, turkey has imposed an embargo on ships and aircraft that are related to the tropics of cyprus from its ports and airports, which also makes contact and make commercial links more difficult. the only relation is one with turkey. turkey illegally occupies a third of the republic of cyprus. >> how did that happen? why did it happen? >> this happened in july 1974. using as a pretext the coup d'etat that seems to have been organized by the military regime in athens, the legitimate leader of snipers -- turkey, using -- the legend and leader of cyprus -- turkey, using the pretext invited and occupied ever since another third of cyprus, expelling 40% of the cypriot population who to this day remain refugees in their own country. >> -understanding is that, in the occupied territory right now, there are turkish troops, turkish cypriots and then the sec killers -- and then the smugglers. the sellers, were they forced to come here? were they given -- the settlers, were they forced to come here? were they given ince

was -- during the time that turkey has been the most repressive, turkey has always experienced a great deal of violence. >> uh-huh. >> and it is really only when there is a political opening that you are seeing this -- this more moderate expression of religion. so i would disagree with you on the -- on the interpretation of the turkish case. i think that in turkey you can make the case. more in, for ethnicity, maybe, th r

it's a wild turkey. a tom turkey to be exact. for about a month he has been hanging out at the front yard of 69-year-old edna guysler, taking over her territory, making it his own. it's a very aggressive turkey. he will jump at her, bite her, he will just not let her even come home with her own groceries. he will go at her. >> she not afraid of this guy with the broom. >> that's her friend who was called to help shoo him away so she can get into her home. this image was captured by the detroit free press. an expert told them they are generally very calm and afraid of humans. something about this one that is making him aggressive. maybe somebody fed him making him not afraid of humans. >> maybe edna dined on this turkey's brother and this turkey is back for revenge. >> this is rep bugz for years offing this and he is trying to take a stand. >> for he keeps it up, he might be the next dinner. >> this is an easy way to take care of the turkey problem. very easy. >> about 350 in the turkey bag. no problem. >> that's what i'm saying.

what is the position of her duties in turkey? >> the official number is around 11 dows and. -- 11,00 refugees. there are still many more people on the other side of the border who may be coming now shortly. syrian forces have been pushing people right against the border. the idea of the corridors would not be workable unless turkey has signed up to them. so this would be critical for the turkish army to protect them. they are nervous about looking like intervention into syria, so the prime minister is still waiting to see if such a thing is even a viable. nobody imagined they could fight their way into syria. turkey feels they have to put this back on the table to try to work out how the corridors could be practical. >> the turkish prime minister has already gone beyond looking at this as a refugee problem. he has spoken quite verbally on the issue of syria. >> he felt personally betrayed when he put his own credibility on the line earlier last year in negotiating with president assad and thought that he had gotten promises. ther

is the other have called they're basically in turkey and i think are you for even some of our forces also involved in the rebuilding army so this information actually has been released by the cia from the united states and then later on has been confirmed by some other resources so now all those fighting groups i think the background must be coming complicating it much much more complicated than before. no you just touched upon the two segments of the syrian opposition to free syrian army and the turkey based national council also there are people there in the streets are fighting for the better life this three pieces of the syrian opposition how cohesive are they right or how they are not so coherent because we all know the sunni a freedom army that based in turkey there outside of syria and then reason to syria there is another one called the cold war the nation group and then there is another called the national council so there are basically that us three major opposition groups of both sort of the they are not united together so that these organizations and also those in fightin

to have called their base the in turkey. i think even other forces. but also you've watched in the. army so that this information actually has been released by the cia from the united states and then later on has come for some other resources so now all those fighting groups i think they're becoming complicated much much more complicated than before you just touched upon the two segments of the syrian opposition to free syrian army and the turkey based national council also there are people there are industries are fighting for a better life this three pieces of the syrian opposition how cohesive r.t. right or how they are not so coherent because we all know the syria freedom army the bases in turkey outside of syria and then reason the city rather is another one called the whole of the nation group there's another called the national council so there are basically there are street major opposition groups of the old. three of the they are not united together so that these organizations and also those fighting are the two major features among those opposition groups are also up peopl

got back from a trip to turkey. . >> i loved this. turkey time. forgetting the fact that turkey i think is one of the most important geopolitical posts between europe and the mideast. it is one of the places that we call them allies can feel comfortable and is affected by the european contagion. the story in turkey is alive and well. the name i like to play to get the turkey exposure, but particularly in turkey, fiat. they are a local subsidiary that you can play in the local market or get a piece of if you buy them is an unbelievable growth story that will be serving the mideast. the other companies i was seeing including life experience and property insurance and areas in the e americaning markets world is exciting to get exposure to. if you want to play that over here, they are heavy banking weighted. you are going to get them back and get the credit. that's one of the few. this is a fantastic story that i think you need to watch long-term. >> what it does is it's slicing off the bottom and there is a number of fantastic dividend plays. if you

based in turkey same thing also for that their coordination. with syria so i think a night of they have put forward what kind of for syria they are going to be with in the future when i worked turkey is it playing a constructive role in europe a name hosting forces that are eager to topple assad well turkey soon a role i think also is quite complicated that first of all they host. repl switching group freedom army of syria so they served as the have color fought for them and they are going to hold the second the friends of syria meeting very soon probably already have a poll and also i think that turkey also use the country now leading the way from called for like some need to re support for those opposition party of course they also impose the same thing to the by share government so all of that but just to add those support put the wrong partner in the domestic fighting so obviously it's not so constructive for reaching that dialogue between those two fighting parties of the west's it is pushing for a humanitarian intervention in syria now of

up to half a million could end up taking refuge in turkey. despite these protests, fighting, and international pressure for him to step down, president assad's grip on power remains. today, there was large demonstrations in support of him. >> against the odds, the rebels continue to fight back. the pictures are difficult to verify. this is to be in the central town of hamaa. they celebrate a small victory. the free syria army is outgunned and outnumbered. in homs, activists release films of the army going house- to-house. they say that the government is destroying everything possible of use to the opposition. in damascus, a mass rally in support of president assad broadcast on state television. it was spring, 2011, that's all the first demonstrations. starting in the town of deraa. -- it was a spring, 2011, that saw the first demonstrations. as the response spread, the results from the security forces became increasingly violent. some members of the army defected to fight for the opposition but not in big enough numbers to tip the balance. th

. >> turkey is a key player in this equation.ncreasingly, the west is saying this has to be a regional solution. >> it was what i was thinking before we went to turkey. turkey wants this to be a solution from within the region. perhaps turkey alone cannot change assad's behavior. humanitarian action would require turkey working with nato. in towns along turkey's border with syria. a lot of people think that assad's fall is imminent. contacts with people across the border think that assad's regime will hang on longer than we think. >> that seems likely based on how he has hung on to power. >> i interacted with both syrians and people who interact with syrians. there is a sense that the opposition, to the extent that it is powerful, it is no match for assad's army because it lacks the sophisticated weaponry. assad still has some backing among christians. he has mastered cracking down without having genocide level massacres, which keeps the world public opinion at bay. mistake ofddafi's threatening genocide. he is keeping the opposi

syrian official capitol hill no longer enter turkey. all transaction with syria's central bank have been cut off and there are some 10,000 refugees along the two countries' 500-mile border. for more we turn to turkey's ambassador to washington, namik tan. ambassador, welcome. the syrian army has entered homs. there are reports of widespread arrests, even execution u.s. right on the street. has your government made a formal reaction to syria? >> well, thank you for giving me this opportunity to express our views and thoughts on a very, very serious issue. actually, yes, from the very beginning, we have a principled stance on syria. syria has lost its chances to carry on. once i think a very meaningful relationship with turkey. why? because it turned a blind eye to the demands of its own people. we are for the people of syria. turkey has, from the very beginning, had, i think, shown a very strong reaction to the killings, to the atrocities, to the shelling of the cities, to the humanitarian disaster that has been caused by the, i think, t

and the day after eric bana turkey comes in as well and they have an eighteen hour marathon negotiation with the iranians trying to get the iranians to agree to a deal based on the benchmarks that russia and the united states have put in front of iran in a photographer two thousand i thought maybe five plus one but it's a russian american proposal that they're at its core and in their proposal the idea was to get twelve hundred kilos of eliyahu out of iran in one shipment and the lawyers will get their fuel perhaps back a year later in this variation the fuel will be put in turkey in escrow so if the west remade on the deal the iranians can get fairly you back this was actually a proposal that the president the united states had and the worst and a meeting with turkey and brazil on april thirteenth in washington d.c. for the zero summit the new craziness and what the turks and brazilians did not know however was that on the friday before this sunday that lula arrived in tehran to start negotiations. russia and china had agreed to a sanctions draft in the security council the sanctions d

in forcing the buffer zone is not something that turkey knows how to do. they are confronted with the same dilemma, they would have to put troops over the border into syria and up against a very hostile syrian army. they are now considering that option but they don't know how to do it. >> thank you very much, jonathan. a very tricky dilemma situation about what to do about syria and those refugees. to egypt, where authorities have ordered 75 people including top security officials to face charges of murder or negligence over a football right last month that left more than 70 people dead. the riot happened at the end of a match between al-ahly and al- masry. >> the fans are taking to the streets again. six weeks after the tragedy that claimed the lives of so many fellow supporters. they are furious that no one has been brought to justice. they believe the government may even have conspired to create the football disaster. >> there has been no justice so far. the important people have not been held accountable. the people that continue to correct egypt have

from turkey? >> it's in the plans.ctober date that i have been talking about as our cut-off point is probably the date we'll be moving back. >> suddenly the october deadline didn't feel as overwhelming as before. >> you guys, good luck on everything that you're doing and i'm going to be back here in october. >> october. >> you're going to still be around. >> yes, we are indeed. >> certainly will. >>> gregory and steven have a lot to do over the next few months, we'll check back with them in october to see how things are going. in the meantime, mike is here with us now. he is the author of the upcoming book, "the pumpkin plan." and colleen is the director of special projects at entrepreneur.com. mike for thank you for all of your help with that. >> may i say one thing? a little bit of froth came out of my own mouth when i saw myself wearing a dress. i haven't done that before, since college. >> i'm so glad you're not wearing it today. >> it's like a brilo pad of disgustingness, uyk. >> this is a lot of times when you go

turkey and brazil were in shock as was tehran. they thought they had a deal. what was not in the news, however, until about two, three weeks later was that the turks and the brazilians had not done something that was entirely of their own initiative. there was a letter from president obama dated april 20, 2010, three weeks before lula arrive inside tehran in which president obama tells the leaders of turkey and brazil that if you can manage to get 1200 kilos of leu out of iran, that would be a significant confidence-building measure. that would be of great importance for the united states. furthermore, he endorses the idea of putting the leu in turkey as an escrow. the deal that the brazilians and the turks got follows the instructions of this letter word by word almost. um, what it doesn't address is the fact that the leu count in iran over this period had increased. it was 1500 kilos in 2009. by the time the brazilians and turks got the deal, it was reaching 2400. so there was an argument on the american side that this deal had now, its expiration date had b

is turkey willing to help arm the syrian resistance? >> look, i think some of the things are easier said than done. are of course, i know the first thing that we want to do is to protect the civilians. humanitarian efforts are much more important than anything else at this moment. military involvement is not in our agenda at-- for the time being. >> suarez: are you afraid of a humanitarian crisis spilling over into your country if people try to leave syria? >> well, actually, we are hosting around 10,000 syrians in our country, in adjacent areases. actually it's my home town. and we will continue to host them as long as they need our help. that should be known. and we are able to it provide them the necessary needs and i think as much as we receive such demands, we will address them. >> suarez: you say that military help is not on your agenda. but you also note that you're an important country in the region, a neighbor of turkey, a rising power, a nato member, one of the largest military forces in nato. isn't turkey uniquely prepared, m

this caused outrage in turkey.rench president nicolas sarkozy was ridiculed in turkish newspapers. the turkish ambassador in paris was recalled, and military cooperation between the two countries was suspended. the turkish government sees the french court decision as a vindication and a way to normalise political and economic ties again. >> as far as i can judge at this time, the problems between france and turkey are settled. >> but the french government says it will try again with another draft of the law, which will likely make for more trouble between the two countries. >> and the u.s. republican front runner mitt romney won both of last night's primaries in michigan and arizona, holding up a strong challenge from his right-wing rival rick santorum. >> romney scored a big victory in arizona, but his home state of michigan was seen as the critical test. and there, he only scraped away. >> with 10 more states voting next week and a super tuesday, romney still has much work to do try to persuade republicans that h

could turkey handle these numbers?now we're talking about 10,000, 12,000. if 2 comes this is a massive refugee flow and there are large cities right across the turkish border if the regime carries a full assault, you could see a massive flow of over 100,000 people. that's when turkey would go turn to the united states and allies and nato and ask for assistance. you can see how this would bring a more internationalist approach. >> you wrote radical islam is an argument against washington intervening. what do you mean by that? >> what i mean is the following. people i talk to who have just been in syria, including journalists and americans are suggesting that there is no reason right now whatsoever to suggest that there is a radical islamist element running this uprise package these are people like you and i who want democracy and want the dictatorship to end. the longer the world watches, the majority of people in syria being sunni muslims, there's going to be a perception that the outside world allowed this slaughter t

iranians will get their fuel perhaps back a year later in this variation the fuel will be put in turkey in an escrow so if the west remade on the deal the iranians can get fairly you back and it was actually a proposal that the president the united states had and the worst and a meeting with turkey and brazil on april thirteenth in washington d.c. for the zero summit in your zero with the turks and brazilians did not know however was that on the friday before that sunday that little arrived in tehran to start negotiations. russia and china had agreed to a sanctions draft in the security council the sanctions deal essentially were made and then by the time when we go she says we're concluded and the brazilian foreign minister because secretary clinton explains that deal and explains the details he's shocked that she rejects it and he tells her but we followed the letter to president obama sent from april twentieth in which the brazilians were asked to get twelve hundred hugo's up put it in a school in turkey and then the iranians would get a few months back about a year later but when fa

. >> did both turkey and greece have their eyes on cyprus as a prize?>well, greece, turkey, and began the obligation of the republic of cyprus. this is the treaty of guarantee. the republic of cyprus was in alliance with greece and turkey who formed a treaty of alliance that permitted both to have armed forces from the island. the british had already secured their interests by securing their areas at the time of independence. all three countries had an historic connection with cyprus. greece because 82% of the population was greek- separate. how the ottoman empire was here for 300 years. >> hall or the turkish 6 griot's and agree disagree of getting along? >> they get along very well. >> what happened in 1974? >> the major event was of course the turkish invasion of cyprus in july and august. there were two invasions, one in july and one in august. this had an enormous effect. the turkish army invaded from the northern coast, and expelled all the greek cypriots that lived there and then all the turkish cypriots from the southern part of the island went

but turkey is somewhat divided. once good relations with their neighbor because it is dependant on iranian oil, but turkey needs to make sure that it does not annoy their western partners who are suspicious of the iranian regime and think they are trying to build a nuclear bomb. the turkish authorities turn a blind eye to what is going on where iranian authorities show no mercy with kurdish smugglers. >> almost all of the graves near the turkish-iranian border are of young men under the age of 25, smugglers killed by iranian border guards. one of them just 16 years old. he was killed a year ago. his friend was with him at the time. >> we were just a few meters from the turkish borders when iranian soldiers fired on us without warning. we were running away. my friend was hit in the head and fell down. we were afraid to go back to him. we waited at a distance and called out his name. then the iranian soldiers called out we killed your friend. you can pick him up and take him back to turkey. >> the iranian border is a

. >> i was in turkey recently, and obviously turkey historically had good relationships with syria but the prime minister has been very strong in calling for assad to step aside and, indeed, has provided sanctuary for the free syrian army within its borders. what advice are we getting from the turks on what approach we should be taking towards syria? are there conversations ongoing with turkey? >> yes, there are. and turkey is actually exercised, you know, very responsible leadership with response to the issue. obviously they have a direct concern because it is a border country but they have called for assad to step down. we have engaged with them on consultations with regards to the concern over the chemical and biological sites that are located there. and we're continuing to consult with them with regards to refugees as well. but answer to your question is that turkey is playing a very responsible role in dealing with this issue. >> thank you. mr. chairman, would you allow me one very quick final question? >> please. >> thank you. general dempsey, is iraq playing a positive role in a

turkey could be concerned about it, but turkey is a friend of iran. that is one reason why they resisted nato attempts to join the missile defense effort until very recently. they agreed to deploy a radar on the future maps that you will see. in the next say several years, five years, the missile ranges are encroaching on southeastern europe or southern russia or other regions. the saudis are concerned about the iranian missile ability. in the outyears, let's say within a decade or so, iran probably could have the capability to launch missiles that cover the entire european contine continent. in my view, they got the order backwar backwards. it is the medium change that are proliferating widely. how far? how long will it take before iran gets them? who knows? on the order of a decade, maybe two. so this is the threat that animates the european phase. they could be a political threat. we saw conventionally-armed missiles launched in the middle east and gulf war. in my mind, without some sort of weapons of mass destruction, particularly a warhead, these

humanitarian envoy stopped briefly in turkey, following a visit to turkey. >> the syrian government has asked for more time to look at the agreement that i put to them. it is very important that we get unhindered humanitarian access. however, the government has agreed to a limited assessment, exercise to be conducted by a u.n. agencies and the syrian authorities. >> many who could make it are choosing to flee. when these syrians first arrived last year, most imagined they would only be staying a few weeks. the numbers are not going down, they are actually increasing. there is no answer, nor any end in sight. they are exiles along the border. >> the united nations and the arab league special envoy to syria, scheduled to meet the syrian president in damascus the south -- this saturday. he will be leaving the country on sunday. he has called for dialogue towards a political settlement. richard murphy is a former u.s. ambassador to syria. he is now a scholar at the middle east and tatoos. he has this assessment. -- at the middle east institute. he has this assessment. >> the message is, sto

between turkey and brazil. at the end of the day diplomacy had been abandoned it came six months into late for by that time according to one obama official had essentially run out. it was coming out like the steamroller there was a fear if they did not agree to reject the deal and the station's then congress would pass its own sanctions creating a significant conflict from the u.s. security council. keeping unity against iran was a central objective congress would destroy that unity and once again it could take advantage of those fissures. but put those floor diplomacy was limited could not go on its own. it never actively bled out to to create political space to make a comparison bush gave 16 major speeches to put for the strategic rationale while it must hit iraq and meeting with me the press and dick cheney compared to the number of times obama explained why it was critical like it was a national interest to pursue diplomacy. only one instance i could find with prime minister netanyahu. and at one point doin
