Paris Under Terrorist Attack

President Obama has spoken, condemning the attacks in Paris , calling them an “outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians .” He said this is “not just an attack on the people of france, but this is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values we share.” He said the US stands prepared and ready to provide whatever assistance  France  needs to respond, but did not want to speculate on who may be behind the attacks. “France is our oldest ally” and has stood shoulder to shoulder with us time and again.” “Those who think they can terrorize France or their values are wrong,” he said. “ Liberté, égalité and fraternité are values that we share, and they are going to endure far beyond any act of terrorism.” “We don’t yet know all details of what has happened we have been in contact with French government.” “We know what it’s like, we’ve gone through situations like this. Whenever these kinds of attacks happen, we’ve always been able to rely on France.”

Turkey, Iran & Pakistan Should Come Together To Create A Common Economic Zone

By Sikander Hayat  Turks must abandon European dream  as they have rejected again and again by  Europeans .

They must leave this notion and try to revive RCD so that  Turkey, Iran and Pakistan  can create an economic and ever closer political union and with 300 million people, this would be the most respected economic zone in the world.
