  1.  @sametkose5558  you can lose your job and get interrogated by the police. Some people can go to jail depending on their popularity.

  2. Sad, but that's what I've realized too.

  3.  @GCuci  Αs we clearly see, even when Turks live in the civilized west their mentality is totally Turkish. And having seen how Germans see the Turks and their militaristic attitude I'm not sure they are "friends" but rather they don't want to be confrontational and just don't give a damn. When Germans saw that 2nd generation Turks voted against democracy in the referendum looked at each other wondering what kind of people live in their country. The whole EU has realized that Turks are more loyal to their sultan and they are extreme nationalists by european standards and that's why TR will never join EU. But they do trade accepting the fact that a middle eastern country will stay middle eastern and they keep doing what's best for their german citizens. They trade with Saudi Arabia and whatever country they can get benefits. And in my opinion they are doing the right thing. Europe can't fix a nation that stays militaristic and undemocratic even when they get proper education. So let's make some money out of it. I'm ok with that, as long as their mentality stays in the middle east where they belong. "...... but still they are powerful." that's not Dutch mentality. That's pure Turkish mentality obsessed with power instead of prosperity. At least Europeans, after seeing examples like that, they have realized the problem and they will do something about it. Trade yes, as with the rest of the world. Just keep the Turks out. Since you mentioned UK, I hope you have realized that Brexit campaign clearly mentioned that Turkey becoming a EU member is a reason for brexit, right? And that's the "friendly" country 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  5.  @GCuci  At least you revealed your true identity because you started talking as if you are half european and bs. You are 100% Turk. You don't have to admit you are after the money and nothing else. Everyone knows that, and you aren't the first Turk who openly says that. I wish you take the money you need and run to bow to your sultan, living your middle eastern dreams.

  6. ​ @GCuci  Our mentalities is different like day and night - they don't mix. I just read a tweet about European army and europeans are sceptic like "why do we need to spend more on army, let's focus on our well being there are poor people who need support etc" Not like you who are obsessed with power in every sentence you write. I want to get paid for my work but I wouldn't sacrifice my values for that. I didn't move to middle east for example to make more money, because I can't accept people being imprisoned for their opinions and me enjoying life. I don't use my money to look down on poorer people because I'm not like you. I don't know if I'm wealthier than you or not and I don't care. For Europeans it's not polite to ask and tell about such personal matters. You should have known if you weren't so middle eastern. No european has ever talked like that to anyone poorer. Only Turks and arabs flash their money the way you just did. You talk about hatred but you tried to insult me in every second sentence. I don't mind, I know your mentality. You have to flash your money, you need to project power. Different mentalities, I guess. Since you said you want to go back to TR, you will feel like a king with the money you have and you can find a lot of people who find your arrogance acceptable.

  7.  @Mekanikalistik  "After all it is cheap, sunny and now it is safer" Maybe it's safer for other middle easterners who know how to deal with sultans and oppressive regimes. It's not safe for people who have opinions.It's not safe as long as the justice system is controlled by the dictator. It's not pleasant to go for holidays in a country with the most imprisoned journalists. It's not pleasant to have fun while people are sent to justice for "insulting the sultan" "Come to TR and have fun! Don't worry, the prisons where we keep the opposition are far so you won't hear their screams" A country where everyone calls everyone terrorist and traitor. And just accusations are enough to send someone in jail without a trial. Btw, in Iran the regime is also oppressive but is cheaper and friendlier to tourists. For those who don't mind human rights and freedom of speech.

  8. maybe they need new voters. Educated ones.

  9. Watching the comments from "i'm not Erdogan's supporter but..." it seems that in this case this leader actually represents his country.

  10.  @GCuci  no, I'm never proud of being 'powerful' in my personal life because I'm not a bully. And most Europeans want better life for their citizens. Very few want 'power', most of them far right. What is common among all turks is their obsession with army and power. Europeans and many Americans who don't vote for right wing wonder 'why do we spend so much money in army'. You talk like a Turk and not as a Dutch. Or maybe an typical turk sounds like a far right European.

  11.  @GCuci  Obviously you are like the other Turks in the west who always have only turkish friends and their whole surrounding is nothing but turkish. I'm sad for you. You live in the middle of Europe and you have middle eastern mentality. And you do nothing but blame the "bad west" as every middle easterner does . Well, I wish you soon go back to where you obviously belong and find happiness.

  12.  @EmrecanOksum  If you think that ignoring you = hate, there is nothing to say indeed. If you think that aggression from TR is excused because 100 years ago GR attacked first, you should find my great-grandfather and talk about it. I live in 21st century and I don't intend to go back were times were brutal. But you can talk about aggression with your middle eastern neighbors because you kill each other T-O-D-A-Y !!! Sorry honey. I want nothing to do with your MANY CURRENT wars. It's just you.

  13. Yeah, you are so believable that Greeks want to genocide them! Isn't it funny when you accuse the Greek part of being genocidal and AT THE SAME TIME you cry because they didn't accept the Anan plan for unification? If I believed that someone is out there to kill me, I wouldn't cry like a baby for rejecting to marry me. Be consistent at least, be a little decent.

  18. I can trade with a lot of people. Few are invited into my family with voting rights. That might explain your misconceptions about why some countries got into EU and some others didn't . Romania and Bulgaria never created political problems within EU. I don't get why Turks keep on criticizing them.
    1
  19.  @ertemtanriverdi4862  I just made a comparison between Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey. So your comment is irrelevant. Your argument implies that Romania and Bulgaria had good economies enough to join EU and Greece was worse than them and had to fake the numbers to enter EU. Nice try!

  20.  @ertemtanriverdi4862  1. He wrote: " I am wondering how Romenia and Bulgarian could get in EU but not Turkey where they still use horse-drawn vehicle on their ways" I replied : "Romania and Bulgaria never created political problems within EU. I don't get why Turks keep on criticizing them. " 2. You have to understand that Euro and EU are different things. TR isn't allowed to join EU, thus we are talking about EU. 3. You can make whatever totally irrelevant comment you want, I don't mind. It makes you feel better temporarily but doesn't solve any of your problems. Quite the opposite.

  21. I've had the same experience. It's weird that even people who don't vote for Erdogan deny that.

  22.  @jan4230  He is ruling the country with MHP, which would be called extreme right-wing, with a terrorist branch of grey wolves.

  23.  @jan4230  and then he realized that you can't win election in TR without being a nationalist (extreme right wing by European standards). And he started wars, the military salute and telling a young child that she'll become a martyr if she dies in war. Which remains on of the most cringiest statements I have ever heard. Maybe it was normal for the 19th century, maybe it's just normal for TR today. I don't know.

  24.  @jan4230  since you area turk I can understand why you don't care when your kids die at wars. In Europe we don't do that in our century.

  27.  @jackjack3138  1. Greece isn't bombing any country, and these countries don't bomb Greece. Problems exist between most neighboring countries all around the world but only Turkey is having wars in the 21st century. According to you, there is no difference between having different opinions and objectives and killing each other. I can't understand 19th century mentality, but as long as it stays in the middle east, I won't bother. 2. There are practically no Greeks in Turkey. I don't know why Turks feel the need to lie about it. Feel ashamed or other reasons?

  30. ​ @mrnorthz9373  Υeah we know the story of all dictators: whoever doesn't obey them is called enemy of the state. Just wait 2 more years and you'll hear the same story, just the roles will change: RTE will be called enemy of the state. Same old story in non democratic countries.

  31. ​ @mrnorthz9373  In USA honey no one goes to prison if their President feels "offended". Only yours is acting like a spoiled brat. You seem to care more about USA and to not give a damn about freedom of press in your own country. I hope at least you make money out of it, and don't support it out of stupidity.

  32.  @mrnorthz9373  If USA is bad or not is no excuse for turning your country into a dictatorship.

  33. And there is the reason why Erdogan has imprisoned all these journalists and closed all these media. Just look at this awesome comment! And imagine that she's not the only one who genuinely believes it.

  34. So what happened? Did Europeans freeze this winter? Or did your ahole president asked to be accepted in EU and Europeans said : NO WAY! Good luck begging arabs for money.

  42. Does this mean that Turks are warmongers, always thinking of past wars while getting involved in more and more wars today? Is this how you want to portray Turks?

  43.  @sofukadir2454  maybe Turks will fight as fiercely as they fought during WWII.

  45.  @EmrecanOksum  How can one have friendly relationship with people still living in the previous century? I'll keep being friends with EU nations. TR can be friends with Pakistan, Afghanistan and the rest of muslim brotherhood.

  46.  @EmrecanOksum  Fyssas was murdered and even you know his name. Yeah, many European countries have to deal with the problem of nazis and violence. It happened 8 years ago and even you know his name. Turkey, as other middle eastern countries have other issues to deal with, such as wars. You lost soldiers last month in Iraq and Syria - outside Turkish borders that is, and the average Turk doesn't even know their names. Because it happens every other day and you are used to it. I'm not saying we are ahead of you. I'm saying I won't compare my country with the middle east. Greece's economy is average compared with other EU countries. We are in fact a bit worse than Portugal, facing the same more or less issues. I don't know what possessed you to think that I portrayed GR as perfect. Far from it! But far from middle eastern culture either. I'd rather be even poorer than to see my people in jail for "insulting the sultan", to see my soldiers die in endless wars. If you are in favor of peace and friendship you can try it with your middle eastern neighbors. You aren't in war with GR, it shouldn't be your priority anyway. You are at wars with other muslim countries, you have more things in common with them and if the wars end, even Germany will be jealous of your wealth. Why do you get so angry when I state the obvious? I don't care if TR ends up being the richest country in the world. Qatar is even richer than TR but I don't envy them either.
