Make the world go away .. a line from a song popular years ago and at Christmas last year I dined at the local Hilton Hotel
and decided to phone Turkey in Istanbul ..... I got through on my mobile alright but my goodness it was hard in two languages to wish Turkey !A Happy Christmas! a million miles away .. however practice makes perfect.
So Turkey must be good then at activating Peace in the world and tonight Reuters blogged to confirm that a Peace Deal is being sorted out in Istanbul by Turkey with the key players as
Syria and Israel. They have been at odds since the Golan Heights were captured in 1967 and now are to be handed back by Israel.
The U.S. supports Israel and President George Bush is not against these Peace Talks in Turkey in Istanbul. Israel is 60 years old as a State .. there has been a war in this part of the world ....
The U.S. is hostile to Syria ... well, so there is something then that is to be achieved by Turkish
Mediators in Istanbul that has not been achieved before!
In September Israeli warplanes bombed with North Korean built Nuclear facilities in Syria.
A new word has crept into the discussion according to Reuters ... like Druid ... but is:
Druze Muslim Golan Heights certainly the vocabulary in this itemized report from Reuters is challenging and full of new news! Supporting here the bid for peace between Israel and Syria and Turkey's peace activist role! Great blog from Reuters .. keep on working ...
