...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
’s efforts to prevent financing of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Out of 11 areas evaluated, Turkey was deemed to require major or fundamental improvements in nine. The report’s findings mean Ankara will be put under observation for a year, and could be added to the grey list if it does not make improvements.
The watchdog said Turkey should make "fundamental improvements in measures for freezing assets linked to terrorism, terrorist organizations and financiers."
Turkey had a low rate of conviction for terrorism financing, the report said, pointing to data it said was provided by authorities showing more than 6,000 people were prosecuted in 2017 but only 115 convicted.
Ankara should also improve efforts to prevent "the raising, moving and using of funds for weapons of mass destruction", the report said, adding that Turkey was slow in following up UN Security Council resolutions relating to Iran

Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel.
