would turkey be there? >> there was this polish plumber concept for years, and i have not seen any polish plumbers in either the u.k. or france. there is the year that if there was freedom of travel for turkey -- according to german government statistics, -- there is this year -- the fear. i think things are changing. the prospect of living in romania and bulgaria and even turkey may be better than some of the country's you are concerned. >> we will look at the immigration of the future. >> this huge inflow, purchasing of british citizens in turkey, and the more, the merrier. some three in hundred days of the year. with a british pension salary, they can enjoy a much greater life with higher standards in turkey compared to what they can afford here in the u.k.. >> ok. just a final thought, which is about turkey's role. you are playing a big role in syria and a big role in the middle east. do you regret the fact but the americans are not doing more and that perhaps the europeans have woken up to the fact tha

presence in turkey. it has always opposed the u.s. presence in turkey. we've seen the group target u.s. military in the past. in fact, one of the telltale signs of the group is it targets u.s. deployment in turkey whenever the united states sends troops and hardware into turkey. >> reporter: experts add that more u.s. support for turkey would likely result in more violence. shep? >> shepard: but it's not like support for turkey's going away. >> reporter: no, because turkey is a very key nato ally and a key partner in the middle east. if you look at the region, it kind of makes sense. you've got u.s. military action in that region that turkey has supported. they've provided air basees for u.s. jets. turkey also serves as kind of a buffer zone to help stop terrorism and islam i can extremism. if you look at the u united stas chess board, turkey is ary region. >> turkey is the only country that borders both iran, iraq, and syria. whatever the u.s. policy is, whether it is to maintain stability in iraq or contain iran's nuclear ambitions or help the syrian u

presence in turkey. one could look for actors such as the iranians and al qaeda but that would be a far stretch right now to assume that. question say for sure that this looks like -- we say for sure that this looks like -- >> u.s. and diplomatic facilities in turkey have been targeted in the past, haven't me? >> they have been and in fact while the british posts have been targeted by al qaeda, american posts have typically been targeted exclusively almost by radical marxist groups. this happened in 2002. u.s.a. consulate was attacked. it happened during the first golf war. when there was u.s. troop deployment in turkey and actually two american personnel were killed by the same group and other various factions have targeted u.s. personnel in the past. >> this is the second deadly attack on a u.s. diplomatic building in five months. isn't it? >> it is. unfortunately. and the good news is that this is a very fringe group. it's a marginal group. it does not have representation across the broader turkish so

embassy in turkey and one person has been killed. there's no indication as to what caused the explosion in a neighborhood that's home to a number of foreign missions. let's get the latest from our correspondent outside the u.s. embassy. tell us what you know. >> one person killed. i have also seen reports saying possibly and two dead. it is impossible for me to get official confirmation. the place is swarming with police. police are limiting access to the immediate area where the explosion took place. i spoke to a witness earlier, an iranian gentleman who runs an office outside across from the embassy. he said that he saw a man on foot, but he was not sure, walking on foot up the road. and he saw a body being taken into an ambulance. when i got here, i saw the ambulance. i see a security van has pulled up and there are many white overalls stepping outside that van. it is a very busy area swarming with cabinet ministers and lots of police. >> pretty surprising. the u.s. embassy is a very heavily guarded building in aunt ankara.n >> it

i think that turkey is turkey is now very concerned about the situation in iraq they're very concerned about the rising level of activity around with the kurds energy and desire for kurdistan inside that would take off part of turkey so i think this is very bad news is obviously great opposition inside turkey and i think the the president other prime minister is behaving and foolish who are actually have this close working relationship with the west and he's actually undermine his own country and his own security i think this is symptomatic of a rise of militancy in turkey. i think it's a rising move of course the entire region i think all these advances though they're not one farm the other kinetically they're all part of a change i look at the situation now with france taking the lead in mali and with that cool if you knew the activity there so you have to see right now that you've gone from one combustible situation to another and while he sat there with these are being fueled by a horrendous horrible foreign policy coming out from the west and from the obama administration and the

well let's begin in turkey there are lots. people inside turkey who are critical of the u.s. policy in the region and it's not unusual to see protests accusing washington of war mongering and also of seeking to intervene in syria and very often these protests in the past have taken place in front of the american embassy in ankara and there you do see a heavy riot presence dispersing any kind of popular protest and that is why questions are already being asked now how it was possible that if indeed it was a suicide bomber that into the visa section and blew himself out how this person was able to get their clothes into the embassy you also have in addition to this violence from syria that continuously spalls across the border and in the past artillery from syria has killed turkish civilians what that means is that you have a whole host of groups who could be implicated or who could have carried out this attack back in september there was that new torrijos mission in benghazi in libya where we had four american staff members killed including the american ambassador and then jus

first, to turkey and its relationship with religious minorities. some are officially recognized in turkey. jews, a greek orthodox, and armenian christians. the turkish government has made concessions to christian minorities, such as returning property confiscated a long time ago. churches, for example. that has given armenians in turkey in fresh confidence boost, but their situation remains difficult. ankara still refuses to recognize the genocide of armenians under ottoman rule 100 years ago. officially, there are some 60,000 armenians in turkey, but the numbers could be rising. in some parts of turkey, descendants of armenians are now rediscovering their identity. >> home to a population of more than 1 million, the city is situated on the turkey -- turkish/i iraqi border. it is the unofficial capital of turkey. but it was not always. between the many minuets that make up the skyline are a few church towers. 100 years ago, it was mainly inhabited by armenians. these days, most of the church as they build are mere ruins. for this insurance salesman

turkey aspiring to become an e.u. member has been urged by the council of europe to improve its record on press freedom the country is now the world leader in imprisoning journalists on the so-called antiterrorism laws they allow authorities to detain suspects for long periods of time before being formally charged. now reports. it's because of people like me didn't he nearly get turkey will be the number one spot in the world for the number of journalists in jail nadeem was arrested and held for two hundred days his charge up to mean classified documents and something government officials he suspects it was because he published a book investigating the death of another journalist which unnerve the government officials to. the main reason the government arrests journalists just to stifle voices of disagreement the best way to do that is to silence the journalists who speak out against the government then their audience will also fall silent that's the main reason behind the imprisonment of journalists it's not just jou

she was always proposing or competing for the so-called privileged partnership for turkey so this is a deep at least a change in birds but anyway i don't know if her visit is really bringing out all the problem instead of things to discuss and afraid of the wave so we have to see in the. relations between germany and turkey they are of course some problems we have driven troops deployed to the turkish syrian border with patriot into iraq that systems which are directed against syria and we all know what that turkey is a country which is behaving very it riseth towards syria is one example we know at the problems with this the kurdish minority we know of the programs with cyprus with turkey is doing since thirty years the military occupation policy on the european union membership countries so they would be a lot of things to talk in dollars all the things that will be discussed now in turkey well certainly. certainly a lot of issues between the two countries and frankly if the turkish membership of stalled for this long as you say it's hard to see that things would move forward any q

what's had turkey's policy in syria so. as of yet it's still difficult to say who is behind it but that organization the revolutionary front is a known organization they haven't had recent attacks but there they have been as i said known to carry out attacks in the past what do you make of the timing of the attack is this some kind of a message. again it's people there are people who are looking at it as. there comes at a time several things are going on of course to see the ongoing violence in syria thousands of refugees tens of thousands of refugees pouring into to turkey there are perhaps people unhappy at turkey's. role in syria turkey is openly called for the fall of the regime in syria so there's that there's also negotiations going on here unprecedented negotiations between the government and this and the p k k which is that the kurdish faction the workers faction which is considered a terrorist organization by turkey as well as the e.u. and the united states are people who look at that and say perhaps some governmen

in turkey even though school i t. rusher is ready to host talks between the syrian rebels and the government then the cations that the situation isn't moving out of its dead end that optimism is from the foreign minister lavrov he's due to meet his syrian counterpart on monday the opposition leader also expected to visit the russian capital where it's not known when more from. earlier the leader of the syrian opposition for the first time said that they're ready to negotiate with the government but only on condition that the release one hundred sixty thousand prisoners will be claimed have been jailed because of their political views now the government on its and said that it's ready to talk but without any preconditions or clearly there are still major sticking points including the fate of president assad but russia's foreign minister says that there is room for potential progress now moscow has been saying that it's not taking sides in this conflict but is calling on the international community to require apply equa

is it turkey is going to benefit or is it going to be the e.u. that benefits. i think turkey would benefits more the us do in a crisis in a very deep crisis we can see the economic recession we can see the institutional crisis and we see again to use a crisis of our common currency and that makes it very difficult to find together a common approach for issues like foreign policy for energy policy that's why i think that we should try to cooperate with the turks without having a full membership. of them in the european union that makes it easier for instance in the security issues we can in security issues we can cooperate with them. in nato or on the by letter level but not necessarily in a group we're just not fully fit what about how the issue of human rights certainly the e.u. like to talk harold how it always has an excellent human rights and their staff and the other but however unlike europe turkey for example ankara has more journalists jailed in iran and china come behind what would make of that or is she just simply conveniently ignoring that aspect of

there are very we're there are people fleeing the assad regime coming into turkey turkey saying well the situation has gone too far or something has to be done about it indeed they would accuse other countries of the game russia being one of them propping up there and iran and other propping up the assad regime. so however people suspect that perhaps under the table turkey is. for the allowing the free syrian army supplying them with so it's a it's a very complicated situation and even more complicated than some suggest because one of the out of this civil war incites or. kurdish north of the country is becoming more and more independent and turkey which iraq their sparklers. retards with some alone sure all right thank you very much for your thoughts on the subject andrew finkel journalist and author and expert on the area thanks for being with us here on our team. in the u.k. a document described by some as a snoopers charter will be given another push by the government after the intelligence and security committee said the proposal lacked detail the bill is designed to help author
