    @dBSPL Bro, I was responding to babayetu. There's a misunderstanding. I wasn't referring to your post about ekşi sözlük.

    You know sh*t about the Turkish constitution. You know sh*t about the election system and its organizational-bureaucratic background. You know sh*t about the election laws of our country. If you (and those who liked your posting) had the slightest idea of how the system works, you wouldn't...

    How? Where are my family members going to cast their votes? What about the millions who are refugees in their own country now? I don't want to see a new drone, fighter jet or ship until the last body has been recovered.

    TR Aftermath of the earthquakes in Turkey's South-east

    You are really talking nonsense here. 1. Even if the relatives bury the corpse, they still need to obtain a death certificate afterwards aka inform the state about the demise of its citizen. 2. If the government wanted to tamper with the figures, they wouldn't have published the number of...

    TR Aftermath of the earthquakes in Turkey's South-east

    Another real life story from my neck of the woods. Our neighbors three-storey building in the heart of Malatya city did not collapse even though that property is over 40 years (!!!!) old! It was built by his father who was known to pay attention for high quality building products and the...

    TR Aftermath of the earthquakes in Turkey's South-east

    This picture is from Malatya, Gelincik. These apartment buildings, too, are constructed by TOKİ. They were specifically advertised as 'earthquake resistant'. Sadly, they were widely unpopular among the people. Now, after the earthquake hit the city, crowds are camping on the premises and...

    The TOKİ high-rise buildings I've posted right above are literally built on enormous rocks (which are part of the Beydağı mountain).

    TR Aftermath of the earthquakes in Turkey's South-east

    I can confirm that TOKİ buildings are still standing in Malatya. The buildings in the background are 15 storeys high and some of them don't even have visible cracks. They seem to be very well built.

    TR Aftermath of the earthquakes in Turkey's South-east

    My neighbor lost a three-story-building in this earthquake. He is over 60 years old and a very good friend of our family. You know this type of friend well. The guy who is almost as close to you as your next of kin? That's him. We call him makarnacı because he used to sell packaged pasta in his...

    TR Aftermath of the earthquakes in Turkey's South-east

    I can't talk for other cities but Malatya has been effectively abandoned by its citizens. The city is basically empty. Only helpers and volunteers are in the streets. I don't know about other areas but there are a lot of soldiers in Malatya patrolling and aiding AFAD. In Elbistan, where my...

    TR Aftermath of the earthquakes in Turkey's South-east

    A distant relative has died. The building he was working in caved in and buried him alive. A few of my relatives lost their houses. It looks like at least 90% of damaged and collapsed buildings were old.

    Mil Intelligence US alleges Chinese spy balloon flew over sensitive military sites

    Question: What does China strategically gain from one balloon carrying a probably limited amount of espionage equipment over continental America? I always assumed that satellites made this kind of operation obsolete?

    That guy believes he is thinking independently by having ridiculous and alienating views of the Turkish AND Central Asian societies. The truth of the matter is that by denying his religion, traditions and past, he just proves that he's still a captive of Russian imperialism with a defeatist...
