@alaneldira9578 What, saying even though Erdogan is playing power games with Sweden, that Sweden is helping Turkiye in this terrible situation and wishing its people all the best?! It's sometimes very helpfull to read a comment properly 😉

@cepkahklc7611 You are aware, that lots of Turks are claiming for political asylum over here in Germany ? Says it all ... But don't worry, Germany has sent lots of aid / equipment and people plus various special teams with their rescue dogs, which will help to find your people under those collapsed buildings. All the best for you and your people with greetings from Germany

It's called corruption, was already the same at the huge earthquake in 1999, most modern build houses (even though they were supposed to be build "earthquake safe", investigations afterwords found out, the used materials and construction standards were the cheapest of the cheap. Nothing had changed since then, very sad .... Edit typo/ autocorrect

It's about -1°C over there, water is frozen, people are wearing night suits/ thin clothes as the earthquake happened in the middle of the night, where most of the people were in bed sleeping. The danger to freeze to death while laying under a collapsed building is huge and more then likely. But of course I cross the fingers that they still find people being alive !!

@AnneHeyns Every person which isn't his oppinion ends up in prison, hundreds of thousands have been imprisoned for political reason. Lots of Turks have/ are applying for political asylum in Germany: journalists, teachers, lawyers, doctors of medicine, politicians from the hardly existing (anymore) oppositions parties, etc, the list is endless and still ongoing, sadly .... Just saying. He is in power for 20 years now, I would call him an autocrat, which doesn't make it any better. Edit typo/ autocorrect

@cepkahklc7611 NO. As you write, being in the middle of three continents, ok, correct, but the Ottoman Empire were basicly the Turks "ruling" all the other ones being part of the Empire ... I still don't really understand the "problems" Turks are having with Kurds. For me as a German, living in a federal state, it's like ??? Why? The "German Nations/ todays federal states/ ancient territories of the biggest/ main ancient Germanic tribes" have managed those "issues" by being federal since about 1.200 years. Apart from that, Germany has NINE direct border countries, therefor tollerance, peace and understanding is needed with your neighbours (as badly shown by history if it doesn't happen), so your argument, that Turkiye is in the middle of three continents, doesn't really come into that. Living in peace with your neighbours and tollerance should go for Turkiye as well. Edit typo

@cepkahklc7611 What? Nobody is using humanitarian aid as a "trump card". Weird statement :-((

@cepkahklc7611 Err, you are calling about 40ish million Kurds "a small ethnic group"? Wow :-(( I know, they are "spread" over five countries, but if you treat people with respect, allow them to speak their language, respect their culture, there wouldn't be any problems. But if you declare them to be criminals/ terrorists or other, of course there will be troubles. As I wrote, being federal is very helpfull for issues like that 😉 Btw, apart from the "official" German language, there are still four other protected minority languages in Germany (Lower Saxon/ German, Frisian, Sater Frisian, Sorbic) spoken by those ethnic groups. As everything is going "smooth" since ages, there is no need for fights. Turkiye should give a try on that...

@pjq420 WRONG. No country outside of Syria is hindering humanitarian aid going into Syria. The infrastructure is broken down, therefor no access ...

@pjq420 How?
1
@pjq420 Correct, I've just looked up for it, and it's the Syrian Gvt/Assad refusing/ not allowing help coming in !! UNO has been desperately asking for permission ...

@hide3reptiles365 So far so good, difference here is:Turkiye is Nato member, Ukraine not. All for one, one for all, together we're strong. That's the difference 😉

@ozgry1655 What? All of those journalists, teachers, lawyers, doctors of medicine, engineers etc applying for political asylum are terrorists?? Yeahhh, right LOL

@AnneHeyns I wrote: autocrat, on top of that you can have elections, but still have reduced or nearly none existing human rights/ womens rights/ free speech/ press/ independent justice etc. That goes for many countries in the world, Turkiye is one of them ...
