    Turkish nationalist opposition leader who met with President Obama
    yesterday said he can't "tolerate the U.S. president's lack of
    courtesy" in calling on Turkey to reckon with its past, resolve its
    dispute with neighbor Armenia and reopen their shared border.

    ANKARA - Devlet Bahceli, President of the Nationalist Action Party
    (MHP) blamed US President Barack Obama of being rude. Bahceli said
    "Obama's Armenia remarks were rudeness." Mr. Bahceli further targeted
    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and argued Turkey made
    unaccaptable compromises in the Rasmussen Crisis:

    "The last example of the AKP policy has been experinced in the
    assignment of the new NATO Secretary General. The view of the
    entire Islamis world about Rasmussen is clear. It is unacceptable
    that (Turkish) Prime Minister was persuaded as a result of chipest
    bargainings. Turkey, although it has a veto right, did not use that
    veto right. Thus Turkey reduced to second class states. The Prime
    Minister first had opposed that name, he accused of him allowing the
    Cartoon Crisis and not preventing the PKK teleision. Yet he one day
    later change his opinion. The Danish Prime Minister was apointed with
    Turkey's support. The Prime Minister promised the words which he could
    not keep and Turkey's hounour was insulted at the bottom of the feet."

    * Erdogan is Fake Davos Hero

    Mr. Bahceli also called Prime Minister Erdogan as "fake Davos
    hero'. "The Prime Minister Erdogan, in response to pressure was forced
    to take back step" Mr. Bahceli added.

    Bahceli has targete the US President Barack Obama who visited Turkey
    and gave a speech in Turkish Grand National Parliament. Mr. Bahceli
    called President Obama as rude. He said "Obama clearly stated that
    the 1915 events are seen as genocide by him, and he says that had did
    not change his opinion. President Obama's examples from their own
    history and his call to Turkey to face its past cannot be accepted
    and this is a rudeness."

    Mr. Bahceli also argued that there is no connection between American
    and Turkish past. "I warn AKP, if everybody accept a lie, it does
    not mean that that lie is not a lie" he added.
