How do this get proven, Raevsky? If you will agree that the only unambiguous way to prove your argument is notice of all remaining EU interviews being cancelled before the end of August - this being the standard and you do not try to change your argument retroactively yet again. - I will take this bet with you. I would be lenient : when you lose, you do not have to leave if you come back on and in every forum where you have spouted this, admit in capital letters you were wrong and apologise . If you win, I will leave.
Don't be ridiculous. One picks up common expressions by interacting with people, not by doing what they refer to. I'm sure plenty of people who have never ridden a horse say "hold your horses" or who have ever handled a gun "stick to their guns". Honestly, I'm beginning to think your entire life is spent behind a computer. Get out there and get some sunshine.
Hmmm...
1. As far as I remember, when Iranian visas were exhausted, there was only one notice - on Ankara's consular website. Iranian visas are processed in 3 consulates - Ankara, Yerevan and Abu Dhabi. Do you think 2 other consulates still processed Iranians?
2. As far as I remember, according to CEAC data there were a number of visas issued AFTER the notice in all 3 consulates. And there were quite a lot of them, so it was clear that some of them were Iranians.
3. Probably, some visas were issued because visas numbers were already allocated for them. Probably, a number of others were not issued - otherwise the notice made no sense.
4. If Ankara consulate did not have the notice (as in Yerevan and Abu Dhabi - no notice there), we would not know Iranian visas finished.
5. CEAC data has information only about visas issued, but not even about the country of chargeability, and not about visas not issued.
6. I saw several interviews on Ankara website where no visas were issued AFTER the announcement, they stayed with status Ready. But how could I know that was because of the announcement?! No proof.
So, I agree it is not easy to prove the point.
I would rely on posts from a couple of Russian forums from those whose interviews are cancelled, but the data there could be faked from your point of view (by me or by some of my supporters even without my knowledge) - I totally agree forum data is not 100% reliable.
Also, instead of leaving you could register under new name - how could I figure that out? On the contrary, I cannot do that - it would be clear that that would be me if I do that because of more or less unique style and content of my posts.
And, of course, I would not feel fair to make the deal with you alone (because of others who have the same point of view). What do you think?
