@politicsandart7994 For the same reasons millions of others do. It is a pretty fantastic place. I'm from Philadelphia but my family and I spend about 4 months out of every year in Turkiye. Been going there since the early 2000s.

@Hasanaljadid Not really. Different culture, different history, different genetic make up and different geography. There are some cultural similarities though due to the influence of a shared religion.

@cedricfromtheeast1. By the time Anatolia depopulates, there wont' be any Greeks left to reconquer it. Unfortunately Greece's demographic death is outpacing Turkey's by about 50 years.

That trend is going to slow down considering Europe is slowly collapsing. Not too long from now forget people wanting to go there, you're going to have Europeans trying to get out. Essentially the only people you have going over there now are people who have zero clue about the world with no idea where Europe is headed and how hard their children's lives are going to be in Europe in 40 years.

So you're basically saying the situation is even worse than he described. In 40 years Turkiye is fuked. :O(

@night6724 I can’t know for sure since I don’t live there but I too have made the argument that the newly arriving Arabs can’t assimilate into Turkish culture. Not because there are Arab but because of a simple premise that applies to all humans. If you take in a certain number of people which reaches a specific critical mass (population wise) it is impossible to assimilate them. They’ll have their own neighborhoods and rarely venture out of them. Hell they comprise such a huge percentage of the total population they’ll have their own cities. Fact is assimilation under those circumstances is impossible. Now if they were lower in number and spread out. Then sure assimilation will surely happen

Considering most European nations are horrible when it comes to integrating immigrants. The situation you're describing makes sense.

@georgios_5342 Greece had the same problem with having to fill large swaths of land and fill empty houses form the Turks it subjected to Genocide there. So what ever problem the Turks had with that, you Greeks had the same issue to contend with.

That would be like making a movie where everyone knows the ending.

@Lockfly You'd be surprised how many of them ended up in Turkiye.

@metternich_999 let’s be realistic here, no one on this message threat was party to those crimes. So to say “your” crimes like this guy had anything to do with it is crazy. But you do have a valid point. This guy acting like Greece was all innocent during that conflict is insane. They committed just as many crimes on the Turks (arguably more) than the Turks did to them.

@kubilaybalci5724 I'm not sure I buy into this theory all that much. I've met tons super secular Turks with Islamic names like Ismail. Not that any of it matters, most intellectuals are in agreement that secularism as a political philosophy is on it's last legs. The coming demographic collapse and subsequent economic collapse in advanced nations is essentially going to be blamed on secularism and you're going to see a huge political shift to more religious oriented society building. Not saying it is a good thing or bad thing. Just saying it is what is happening. So all this talk of who is secular and who isn't won't even be a talking point in 50 years or so.

@PowerSimplified1871 Women in America and Britain recently got their rights. The times were they were having 5 kids didn't last very long after they got those rights. The time frame you're talking about is only a few decades, then it stopped.

@jermania766. No serious person watches these videos for the pretty pictures. If they spend all their effort the pictures, the content and research will suffer. If you want nicer looking pictures, try a children's book. They have fantastic pictures.

@TheFalseShepphard So you're saying I visited a place in the void regions that don't really exist last year? Wow, gotta tell my wife that our trip must have been a sci-fi experience.
3
@AustrianPainter14 They'll mostly leave on their own not too long from now when Europe collapses under it's own weight. That isn't really the question, the question is where ethnic Europeans are going to try to migrate to.

@Hasanaljadid The Kurds helped bring to power. Only in the past 2 elections did he start polling low with Kurds. For the vast majority of his political career, the Kurds were one of his most powerful and loyal voting base.

@HuraRas Everything you said was all well and good. But you should realize no one was debating nationality, the debate was based on who is what ethically speaking. You really did waste your time with explaining to us the obvious

@FredrikNaevisdal. Insightful comment my friend. Well played.

@constantinethecataphract5949 A realistic person can make an argument for why they'd want some of those Islands in the Aegean. No one can make a rational argument as to why they'd want irrelevant mountainy geography. In the modern world the juice simply isn't worth the squeeze. I doubt they have any sort of interest in mainland Greece. But the islands, different story all together. Personally I think at the first sign of a major war around the world where all the major powers are busy, they're going to move in and take those islands. I would lol Having so many islands that close to your shoreline owned by a state you have bad relations with is far too much of a strategic liability. Not to mention a military nightmare. One day, sooner or later they're going to come for those islands. Geography is destiny.

@georgios_5342 so said every single war crimes denier I’ve ever met. Do you guys all go to the same workshop or something?
2
@AustrianPainter14 no clue. I’d imagine it’s hot considering it is the Middle East. How are you feeling though. Been mugged by any migrants lately?
2
@baloocallout678 not serious to you perhaps. Which imo isn’t all together a bad thing.
2
@SanaNeLan1945 I fail to see how that guy has a problem. He merely articulated why they where there. Obviously they wouldn't be there if it didn't afford them some advantage. Unless you're claiming all the Turks in Germany are inherently stupid or something.
2
@thekraken1173 I wouldn’t say that. It is sad to see demographic collapse so bad an entire group vanishes. Not just Greeks specificity, I’d hate to see that happen to anyone. So yes I said unfortunately and I meant it
2
@anonmonyous. In modern economic times, there is no economic model which can withstand a population decrease and not collapse on itself. I agree with you so much that culture, the country and people are the most important. I also understand that replace a local population is a horrible thing. But again, no economic used in today's world can survive population decrease without total collapse. So what nations have to figure out is why their people aren't having kids and find ways to remedy the situation. Short of that, all options are the poison pill, including the option you gave.
2
@jasser6470 You're absolutely right, I fail to see a situation in which rural people in Kurdish villages have less children than the urbanized Turks. But it isn't out of the realm of possibility that their birthrate numbers are also dropping to a point where they only hold a slight advantage in birthrate. I do see both parties increasing their birthrates if the ruling elite can somehow increase the purchasing power of the average worker. (tall task I know) I don't think we're going to see the irreversible demographic collapse there we've seen in Europe. Mainly due to religious factors.

mozaic529 Nothing in this video shows that this guy likes or dislikes Turkey. He is simply presenting the demographic facts. It isn't his fault you guys aren't having babies is it?

@HuraRas still a waste when you type up something that long without understanding what you’re responding to
1
@greatwolf5372 By the time this transformation happens we’ll be in a post liberal world order. Aka such a thing won’t really exist let alone convert people over to.
1
@samankucher5117 so you’re saying in nation with a population of 85 million a minority group consists of the vast majority of doctors and teachers? lol
1
@MrDude826 some are some aren’t. It is a very racially diverse nation. To claim otherwise is insanity
1
@polo2796 The black Turk white Turk thing started out as an ethnic designation. The guy in power who you refer to as a "black Turk" is actually a white Turk who happens to be conservative.
1
@PowerSimplified1871 I feel you. Has happened to me before and I hated it, was so annoyed I refused to write it again. So I won’t blame you for not bothering to do it again. Even if you disagree with me I would have liked to see your response. I enjoy seeing opposing view points, helps a person learn more

@capslocked7274. Between the 1960s-----1990s, the elitest Turkish governments in power essentially pushed their undesirables into Europe. I wouldn't say they forced em out but they surely gave them a helping hand in getting there. The next round they'll be sending over will be the millions of Syrian refugees.
1
@enticegmay435. They're probably all going to leave within the next 50 years. Unless immigrants have some economic benefit to being somewhere or their offspring (if not assimilated) they'll simply leave. When the economic system in western Europe collapses (which it will) the children and grandchildren of migrants who haven't properly integrated will simply leave. Which means they'll all leave because Germany and the Netherlands have zero clue how to integrate immigrants.
1
@AustrianPainter14 By the they leave, the indigenous people will be trying to get out as well. A dire future awaits this region unfortunately
1
@MissionControlTet Few people in that region are descendants of Greeks. It's essentially mostly indigenous Anatolians. Who were first invaded by Greeks and hellenized, then invaded by Turks and Turkified. Not to mention most of the indigenous Anatolians aren't on the coasts, they're in the interior of the country. The coasts are mainly filled with descendants of eastern European Muslims who had to escape Greece and other eastern European nations after WW1.

@nixcurpick4708 Turkophobia is dying out.

@Apistoleon Yup the Abrahimic religions sure share the same names. But I still fail to see how that fits into this conversation

@kaiserbauch9092. Use which ever method is more efficient and easier. At the end of the day what makes your channel special is the content of the material, not the dressing in the back. Anyone who is more interested in how nice the pictures look, probably isn't your target audience anyway. More time on research and substance, less time on making it look pretty. Thanks.
1
mozaic529 So you're saying Turkiye hasn't been fighting a PKK insurgency in the eastern part of the nations since the 1980s? It was all just imagined?
1
@ilyapolishuk5126 To be fair Turkiye is a power which projects said power into Europe and Asia. Turkiye can probably project more hard power into the Balkans than any western European state can.

@constantinethecataphract5949 Start making babies then. Most nationalist from any country I see complaining about how their ethnic group is losing numbers, also happen to be people with no kids lol
1
@hulking_presence Oddly enough recent genetic mapping of the area pretty much confirms your theory. They aren't Greek or Turkic most of the people. They're indigenous Anatolians.
