The Azerbaijani community is getting more involved now, thank goodness. It started with the Karabakh war last year, when Armenians flooded the net crying about being persecuted and that the West should defend them as the "first Christian nation" (Ethiopia says hello), our diaspora seemed to have...

Long live the Turkish republic!

Uh...need I point out the thing with 10 ambassadors only a few days back?

It was always there but it wasn't as widespread. Nowhere near it. I've known more than a few generally liberal-minded people that actually supported Trump or became flat-out right-wing because the opposition has gone so utterly freaking insane. And it's only getting worse. It's one of many 1 +...

I don't think the proponents of this approach quite grasp that if the lira returns to normal again after getting higher export figures, it's very likely that any foreigners that Turkey conducts export trade with will immediately go for greener pastures and thus all this will be for nothing. As...

France now literally defending Russia against Ukraine. You know, ignoring that Ukraine bombed that Russian artillery position in response to separatists killing a Ukrainian soldier earlier. If Erdogan was actually a smart diplomat, he could use this to hammer France for being hypocrites and...

Neither Sartre nor Foucault held that there is no objective truths, Foucault was quite the opposite actually. Sartre's existentialism may sometimes be mistaken for saying that there is no objective truths but he also did not say that. He simply said that the only meaning human lives have is the...

Ah, so this is mainly HTS trying to take out their rivals. Well, can't expect much from an Al-Qaeda offshoot. I only hope that TAF has some kind of Order 66 planned to get rid of the HTS once their usefulness expires.

So your issue is with the social justice nonsense that plagues America today. I can agree with you there, it's gone too far.

Wait, so they are rushing them into production? That's not exactly good.

Sounds like every NEET's dream.

Can't say that it's not deserved. When people are bemoaning their situation and pointing the finger at refugees, the last thing the refugees should be doing is mocking said people in response. These people clearly didn't appreciate what they had and guess what, now it's gone.

Can someone give me a rundown on Abu Hanifa? I kinda feel like I should be annoyed about this as an Azerbaijani but I don't know enough to make a clear judgement call.

People of Taiwan have nightmares about China invading them every night, Uyghurs are getting abused and enslaved in "reeducation camps", Chinese citizens live in a 1984-style dystopia where their lives are governed by a social credit system and the CCP lectures Turkey on Syria? Hilarious.

Let's not forget that Assad's predecessors gave shelter to a literal Nazi war criminal, Alois Brunner, who then taught Syrian authorities various techniques for using torture to interrogate prisoners. Not even a scientist like Wernher von Braun or a filmmaker like Leni Riefenstahl but an actual...

He can. It's rude to butt into a conversation, don't you think?

Mulj, I do believe UkroTurk and Tonyukuk pointed out that the PKK threat in Turkey was virtually nonexistent before the 2010s and AKPs mess-up. The fact that eastern Turkey was in a borderline civil war situation in 2016/2016 is because of AKP creating an issue where there previously was none...

I always disliked how some people lift Franz Kafka on a pedestal for his "insightful commentary on the human condition". He has no insightful commentary, every single one of his books is a thinly-veiled self-portrait on how he views himself vis-a-vis the wider society. I always recommend that if...

Can we get a quick list of who is who in Syria? I'm getting lost with all these goddamn acronyms.

So is IYI the new darling of Turkish opposition now?
