Translation: a shot at Greece for something they had no hand in. The Cypress issue will just go on and on. There should be several RS analysis stories of who the Turkish PM was aiming at with that crazy statement. 50.111.2.50 (talk) 03:33, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Naming

To complete my unintentionally truncated rationale for moving back to "December 2016 Istanbul bombings", there appear to be no deaths in today's Beylikdüzü explosion and it has not even been confirmed as a bombing (some are suggesting it's a gas explosion). That is not notable enough at this time to necessitate a change in this article's name. --GGT (talk) 23:00, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
