Make Turkish an Official Language

More empty gesture politics that will cost us serfs dearly.

A group of parliamentarians in the European Parliament has proposed the acknowledgement of Turkish as an official language of the European Union, saying this would help improve dialogue with Turkish Cypriots.

For the sake of making a point, they want to add even more to the cost of Babel. Most of the Turkish Cypriots I have met seem more comfortable speaking English than Turkish, a fact that shows this idea in a more realistic light.
