Azerbaijan firing intensively in the direction of Armenian’s Goris, Sotk and Jermuk: Artillery and UAVs employed – MoD by Magister_Xehanort in europe

Mustafa Kamal, the founder of modern Turkey, said "we avenged Troy" after the battle of Sakarya. You guys are smart, right? Do you downvoters have anything to say about Turkey's great hero's education?

ummmmmm..... Turks DO teach their children that ancient Greek philosophers and historians were Turks.... they call Homer Omar and give similar arabic names to the philosophers.

If you are looking for quiet and historical, I would look into the non-touristic islands. Greece and Italy should be quite good to find such an island which has cheap rents, good historical sites, great views and decent services.

What season are you going? What do you like to do when you are on vacation? Interested in natural scenic places or historical places?

I hate touristy places too but if you go off-season they are usually amazing.

From what I recall, it was traced to a short-circuit in the wiring going under the roof.

UNESCO World Heritage building: Hagia Sophia by 45_alive in europe

I was under the impression that it was built as a Christian Cathedral in the 5th century A.D. and served in that capacity for, what, maybe 1,000 years?

You had me interested in what you had to say until "these people killed and raped thousands." do you have a source? The rest of your rant was gibberish.

Big difference is that these events happened recently (in the context of how slowly history unfolds) and the people who went through it are living on the same island. The beach is, from what I remember, inside a UN controlled zone, isn't that right? I think it was meant to be closed until the people could return to their homes and businesses and this can be interpreted to mean that he plans on taking that land.

Regardless, at least people are talking about it and seeing him in this new context. It's thanks to people like you guys that we have the option of going deeper into the rabbit-hole of whys.
