quick note. while the Turkish government was Slaughtering the Armenians and Greeks in 1915 - 1.5 million of them - the French threatened war on any country that interfered or tries to stop the first genocide of the century.... Why you ask.... 'cause the Turks owed the French 170 million dollars and the French didn't want the UK to go in and kick the living shot out of the TURKS 'cause then the turks wouldn't have the $$$ to pay France back... Still to this day the Turks deny this ALLEGATION of GENOCIDE.. and untill they admit to it.. the EU says FU to you : )

I don't know anything about that. I was just talking about the aid the Turks sent to Ireland in 1847.
Anyway, in the face of public outrage Bertie-boy upped the aid package to 10million euros, which I think is a lot more acceptable from a country our size approx 3.79 million population (26 counties of the Republic excluding Northern Ireland)
A Foreign Affairs spokesperson said the â?¬2m contribution had been an initial response and the aid package had been kept under continuous review.

You know what the really sad thing is?
You can bet your ass, that any aid sent to Asia (monetary or otherwise) by any government, comes with conditions.
You know, like, "OK, we'll give you £15Million, but in return, we get the contracts to rebuild your country"...
Don't ever think that the government would just hand out the cash, out of the goodness of their hearts...nah, there aint no such thing as a free lunch -even in something as traumatic as this.
Governments, eh? :rolleyes:
