I'm not sure rich rappers showing off is a standard that Turkey should be aspiring to. That wealth didn't appear out of nowhere. It took hard work and 200 years for America to get to that level of power.

There are much more important things that make one a state than building a presidential palace. A PRESIDENTIAL. PALACE. For the love of God, read the above and then tell me it doesn't sound like the most ridiculous thing ever. A president does not need a palace. Even the White House in America...

Ertugrul is the single worst thing ever produced by Turkish television. I am also encouraged to see that other Pakistanis quickly took these idiots to task in the replies.

So is the MIUS basically the first fighter jet drone in history? I haven't really seen any other country coming close or even attempting to make one.

The opposition has made it clear on numerous occasions that if they get into power, refugees and migrants are leaving - one way or another. Unsurprisingly, a lot of these migrants and refugees don't want to leave and AKP is letting them flood in with no restrictions. So they will vote for...

Uh, no. The ones here are ISIS-level. Simply trying to hide what they do won't work because with the level of surveillance in the modern world, the truth always comes out. Take away their phones, ban them from using the Turkish flag and enforce some rules on what they can and cannot do.

Using jihadists as proxies was a bad idea. Letting these proxies wield the Turkish flag while they do their thing and not enforcing strict policing on their actions was an even bigger one. For fuck's sake, is it so hard to ban them from using the Turkish flag? It almost feels deliberate. Or...

That may be so but the timelines don't match up for PKK control. And the crazy motherfuckers that TAF uses as proxies are not known for restraint. Just playing devil's advocate here.

Its design seems like it's made specifically for that.

Equality of outcome is, not equality of opportunity. For example, I hope everyone here agrees that women have the right to an education just like men. This is equality of opportunity. However, not everyone has the brains or work ethic to become a chemical engineer. This is where equality of...

I actually somewhat agree with mulj that Turkey simply making nice gestures towards Israel won't fix anything. People are under the delusional assumption that it's only Turkey's inflexible foreign policy that brought things to this point but, uh, even without Erdogan's Palestinian sympathies, I...

It won't work, Europe won't take anymore regardless of international law. Hypocrisy? Yes. Inevitable? Also yes. Turkey won't be able to get rid of refugees by offloading them to Europe. There's only one way to get rid of them and prevent further incursions but it takes someone willing to make...

Afghanistan is important because it allows the US to control Central Asia and keep out China. A not-so-well-kept secret about the Taliban is that they have very good relations with China and possibly even Russia, since their representatives recently went to Moscow to meet with Russian officials...

I think it's worth remembering that Turkish Cypriots are ultimately separate from mainland Turkey and have/had their own cultural evolution and path. They shouldn't be forced to agree with Turkey on every single thing. I respect Turkey and am thankful for them backing our rights in...

I'm confused, these guys are drunk and dancing on top of a gate. They are not destroying anything or even touching anything. Why is she suddenly screaming about oppression and moreover, why is she tagging Blinken here? I've seen drunken youths here dancing on top of graves or even climbing...

Until shit goes down again in Palestine and Erdogan starts screaming about Jewish Nazis. Israel doesn't trust Turkey and that's going to strain relations going forward regardless.

This was just an insanely fucking stupid thing to do. Kyrgyzstan was just warming up to Turkey and this action basically pissed away all of that goodwill just to grab...one possibly FETO guy. On the assumption that the Kyrgyz government is already infested with them, so this will literally do...

You are misunderstanding me. I am not saying that Assad should become Turkey's best friend or anything but that it might be useful to make some "agreements" like with the Russians to collectively flush out the YPG cancer. Assad may have supported PKK in the past but right now, they are standing...

Both articles are poorly-disguised apologist pieces for the AKP. The opposition and an increasing amount of Turks don't hate Qatar because of some imaginary nation-suicidal tendencies or Qatarphobia, it's because Erdogan is selling out Turkey piece by piece to Qatar, while not attempting in the...

I'm not a fan of Assad by any means but I'm honestly skeptical after years and years just how much of the "Assad gassed/shot/bombed Syrians" claims are true and if he really did intentionally start the war. He is certainly an asshole but I can't help but think he got slightly scapegoated in a...
