Enough! Anyone who wants to discuss this further can do so in the forums or private correspondence!

We don't support this website for racism. We pay money for development of chess. Please website admins think about it. This is not democracy.Everyone have to know that.

Like it or not, just do what 'Voltaire' would do about his opponents ideas dear friends ;)

The idea simply sounds practical. This is a proposal, which needs to be discussed freely on and will be discussed by the member boards and representatives of all sides in Istanbul - I am sad to see just a very few comments under this topic are worth on reading but the majority are very narrow minded..

@ savassa - I can't 'lock' news articles to stop more comments, and I don't want to delete this news, so there may be more comments added.

Anyone making xenophobic comments will only be embarrassing themselves.

@ Balachander - if you really want more details about the court case and the ruling then read this.  And then this.  And then this. If you get through that lot, you deserve a medal

It seems that Turkish "Chess" Federation has made a "proposal" for the General Assembly of FIDE, in where I am pretty sure that tose seven federations are also represented, and publication ot that proposal has given to some racists or to some orientalists or to some others who doen't have an idea about the rest of the world in order to attack Turkey without thinking. Ridiculous talks of "democracy" even in this issue of "chess" is unacceptable. Please remove this topic and prevent those people to go further.

Thank you. 

Can anyone enlighten me with the reason why the 5 countries and Karpov file a case against FIDE? And what was this minor technicality due to which they lost? 

Justice must regard in everywhere by everyone. 5 members of FIDE did mistake and they must do apologize and pay the penalty as punishment. Don't debate more, don't make struggle, it's all of story. We've already had enough world war!!

as a chess player and turkish american i refuse to belive ,what ever the case on kasporov's satuation has nothing to do with this matter ,in my opinion FIDE should get out of politics and concetrate to all world's  nation to become politics free of their own chess federations and stop using the location (istanbul) as an excuse becouse its located in Turkey.to create politics in to this 1000 's years old chess game after all chess is the only game without a berrier of race etnictiy religion and language  sooooooo be a human and keep Chess pure !

lol turkey wants to elimate the countries better than itself the major ones anyway lol.

for a govt. a million dollars is peanuts.  just politics at play here.  knowing my history, and the history of many countries, including turkey... the hypocrisy is ever so ironic.

it's all about money of course.  politics always is.

yes make all players of 7 active chess countries suffer this will surely have more people intreasted in chess which is suppose to be FIDE #1 goal (sarcasm except for the goal part)

We don't banned these 7 countries not to join them in Istanbul. What we really need to do is to make Fide regulations more transparent and implement highly strictly rules for any game fraud and cheating during the any said chess event.If there's any violations happen, then Fide should act right accordingly.

1 million defending a case because of their refusal to follow thier own rules. THE ONLY reason the case failed was a technicality based on a filing time line that they couldnt complete because of FIDE dragging their feet to publish minutes. 

FIDE is so corrupt that it is sick. While this was something expected during the old days of the USSR it is something that was the norm but now people are calling their BS for what it is. The problem is there is no alternative to the current system. 
If they kicked the 7 countries out it would be quite funny if they all got together and formed a new federation. the 7 countries on that list make up the vast majority of FIDE players and tournaments who actually are actively playing...

its all bluff 

@ feyhu, I totally agree with you.

FIDE should find a way itself not to lose any money for the cases.

And I believe that it should not be the concern of Turkish Chess Federation, especially the incoming FIDE Congress to be held in Istanbul, Turkey.

I personally find Yazici's proposal inappropriate against his guests just before this event...!?

@Spinacz,don't worry, my english and my age is good enough to understand someone's opinion especially if it express any insult in it towards either myself or my country.

Infact, that proposal has been made by the President of Turkish chess federation, not the President of Turkey!

So, you can talk about and express your thoughts against Turkish Chess Federation, not against Turkey!

As you may see, I don't mix up anything. You think that you find a way to cross out Turkey by using Turkish Chess Federation, but you have no chance to do it whatsoever!

You can write down whatever you think about Turkish Chess Federation, I don't care. But, I don't let you write any inappropriate wording against my country!

if you think that FIDE is undemotratic instutituon, well, you don't have to stay in. I am not defending FIDE or the proposal of the Turkish Chess Federation by the way.
