Very interesting. What is your culture? Hindu? In Western Europe, the churches watched over who is marrying who. They documented the family trees to avoid inbreeding and incest but - and that's interesting - it still happened due to the fact that people living in the same community for hundreds...

My family is from Eastern Anatolia/Turkey. It's a rural, conservative region that is deeply rooted in centuries-old traditions. But it is crazy how cousin marriage literally just stopped overnight. Not one single cousin married a family member - not one! They all wanted to marry outsiders and...

Not really. Anything under 6.5 TRY will lead to an unbearable deficit in our trade with the rest of the world. I would prefer a realistic rate like 1 EUR to 7.5 - 8.5 TRY. The government is guilty and bears responsibility for our current situation but people shouldn't act as if the Turkish...

It works. 👍

Thank God that China doesn't have any foreign exchange reserve in USD. Bullet dodged, right?

Killing fishermen is really unfortunate. I'd like to hear the Pakistani version of this incident. Why not confiscating the boat instead of killing a human being? It's not like we're talking about brutal terrorists here. The same can happen to a Pakistani fisherman the very next day. If you ask...

Good for you. Your education is more important 👍

I prefer a 5% growth and an inflation rate of 2% over a 10% growth figure and 20% inflation hike on every given day. Sustainability is key.

Not really. Not even AKP can naturalize half a million Syrians without the opposition, media and public getting wind of this legal procedure. However, the government knows that the overwhelming majority of AKP voters are firmly against this ridiculous idea. The number Mr. Çavuşoğlu is talking...

I'm strongly against fracking. The government should not aim for measures that can destroy the ecology of entire provinces. It's a very dangerous method.

Brace yourself for arguments like 'But in 2002 it was just 1.1 billion and today its 7.8 billion !!!1!11!'...

They are part of the Kemalist world, too. Believe it or not. This group is not new neither is it made up by Ragip. They're heavily pro-Russian and a disgrace to Atatürk's legacy.

In addition to what you've said: 1.: It's simply a question of how you define "medium sized companies" aka "Mittelstand". Some scientific sources (e.g. IfM Bonn) claim that 99% (!) of all German companies are part of the so called Mittelstand while other sources state that 2/3 of the German GDP...

You do realize that Turkey will jump on this golden opportunity and put maximum pressure on Washington on every global stage whenever it is possible? No doubt that India's becoming increasingly important for the US to tackle China's growing influence but I do believe that certain boundaries are...

It would constitute a precedent and even though there are people in both parties supporting this amendment, the general opinion is strictly anti-Russian and the leadership of the Democratic Party won't simply back down.

It'll never go through.

But contraction does?

I don't want to play the advocatus diaboli but what you describe as 'rock bottom' could be seen as a standard of living which truly represents our actual productivity. Turks are internationally known to live above their income level, hence, the current account deficit -> accumulation of debt...
