How do you distinguish an African-American corpse from a African-Turkish corpse or an African-Bulgarian corpse or an African-Georgian corpse? I know for a fact that there are Turks and Bulgarians, not to mention nationals of many other European countries, who are of African descent and I don't know why there couldn't be some in Georgia.Assuming that some black men were killed fighting on the Georgian side, were they wearing U.S. dogtags or carrying U.S. passports?Turkey abound with conspiracy theories on the Russian conquest of Georgia (and everything else under the sun), with this link giving a brief idea of the current opinion:http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/english/domestic/9637464.asp?scr=1
The basic idea is that Russia is trying to disrupt Caspian oil pipelines not controlled bt Georgia. A few days before the Georgia invasion, a Turkish section of the big pipeling running through Georgia and Turkey was blown up, apparently by PKK (Kurdish) terrorists. A couple of days later the PKK used an IED to kill nine Turkish soldiers in the same region. The Turks suspect that the Russians are using the PKK as pawns.By the way, I lived for a year in the same province as the PKK attacks. I'll bet the jandarma checkpoints around Kemah and Erzincan are a real treat to go through now. They weren't too bad in early July, when I was there last.
