    Two months is better than nothing.
    Well done Turkiye. The EU has treated Turkiye like dirt for 40 years.

    @Shaun Gallagher: Turkiye applied for EEC membership from the start, before Ireland. If they were now an EU member state, the politics would have been different.
    However, EU has rejected Turkish membership and now Turkiye is an independant country in NATO that finds itself in a position of power broker in the Ukraine – Russia war.
    In this situation the Turkish president has shown that good international diplomacy can exist in a NATO country.

    @William slevin: Ireland is not a member of NATO. Ireland has no say in international wars. Turkiye joined NATO in 1952. Ireland refuses to join NATO. Turkiye has a position in world politics. Ireland won’t even join the EU military alliance. What a weak and insipid country, but Irish people expect that ” someone else ” will protect you.

    @Gavan Hogan: turkey is run by a dictator. Its human rights record is terrible and they occupy northern Cyprus.
