#1 As far as I'm concerned NATO is a relic of the cold war whos primary rational now is to irk the Russians.

#10 There is a reason that after founding WEstern civilization Greek eventually became synonomous with a certain sex act. Perhaps the Greeks should ask what's gone wrong?

Judging from Aris I'd say an unhealthy fixation with the past. It's the Colonels of the 70s and laying blame instead of looking forward.

#11 The PKK are a relatively small group. They are a somewhat moribund Marxist group of about 3500. At the heart of this is Turkish sovereignty and the potential loss of 14 million Kurds to a Kurdish state. Moreover, the generals are concerned over the move away from a secular Turkey towards an islamic fundamentalism and want to flex a little muscle.
