&gt; &gt; &gt; So it was still Turkish enough in the middle of last year for them<br/>
&gt; &gt; &gt; to be spending big money on it.<br/>
&gt; &gt; then its a frag&perf<br/>
&gt; &gt; isnt it<br/>
&gt;Well, it seems more like one of Arif&#39;s virtual enclaves to me. The<br/>
&gt;treaty wording is that the tomb &quot;will be the property of Turkey, and<br/>
&gt;Turkey will place guards there and will raise the Turkish flag.&quot;<br/>
&gt;There&#39;s no mention of it being on Turkish soil, so it seems more like<br/>
&gt;an embassy than an enclave - sitting on top of Syria, rather than<br/>
&gt;perforating it.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>well ok but dont you also think we still need to see the treaty texts to <br/>
settle all questions like this<br/>
& perhaps also to set some kind of standard or threshold criteria so as to <br/>
remain as objective as possible even once we have seen them<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; &gt; also have you factored in the newfound condo areas<br/>
&gt;I&#39;ve been ignoring condos in my border survey - since I&#39;m working from<br/>
&gt;93 basic nations, the condos constitute some sort of blurring of the<br/>
&gt;border region but don&#39;t change the topology of what borders on what<br/>
&gt;else. (As far as I can see. Anyone disagree?)<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>yes but only slightly<br/>
owing first to my fundamentally punctological point of view<br/>
wherein a strictly topological or mosaical presentation would begin by <br/>
addressing the actual boundary points & then the intervening lines & only <br/>
then the areas they enclose<br/>
& second because the overlaps of dominium or sovereignty are among the most <br/>
fascinating things on the globe<br/>
but i certainly understand & respect where you are coming from<br/>
<br/>
at the same time we know of only about 6 condo situations worldwide<br/>
so maybe someone like myself could easily keep track of all these<br/>
