Не за Турция, а за Германия. Ако някой политик може да назначава почти цялата съдебна власт и половината членове на горната камара, плюс ръководителите на армията и водачите на петъчните молитви, то това трябва да е Аятолах Кхаменей – върховният лидер на Иран.

Then however, it will be too late to comment and warn. In order not to face the harsh realities of negotiating seize-fire in the middle of a fierce conventional war, one would rather not leave the frozen conflicts on their own. Because they tend to defrost once  in a  while.
