Claiming "Iran" owned Afghanistan because Safavids and other dynasties controlled both geographies is like saying Spain owned Germany during Hapsburgs, or that China owned Mongolia and Manchuria during the Yuan dynasty. It's a very common misconception, very prevalent in Wikipedia articles...

You're talking with less than 40% of the vote.

There's another factor. Trump was winning until like 90% of the vote was counted. Rural and small cities vote conservative and their small ballot boxes are counted first and reach the news agencies first. After about 60%, bigger boxes start showing their results. In all elections around the...

First prediction in the bag.

I haven't laughed like that in months.

Ok, let's get everyone's predictions for both presidential and parliamentary elections; here are mine: I could just average out the 6-7 reliable polls there is and get very close to the actual results but there's no fun in that; so I will add my own speculations about what the polls might get...

This republic was founded so that "Ulama" have no say in politics. I'd like to see those "Ulama" tested on basic science, basic civic duty questions, and an IQ test for good measure. My left big toe would get better scores.

And the moon is made out of cheese.

When they're out of power, AKP mps will also want to revert to parliamentary system, so I don't think there will be a problem there.

The results are not going to be close.

Nope, that tape was real; this one not only was fake, it was very obviously fake; a horrendous deep fake of a famous pornographic video; people discovered the source material on a famous website like a minute after it was posted on social media. Not one soul believed that it was real. He didn't...

Well one side not only has caused all these issues, they don't even acknowledge that these issues exist let alone claiming responsibility for them and trying to come up with solutions. The other side has been consistently talking about their plans, esp. on the economy front they have the best...

I think many people (including myself) don't believe KK or a change in administration will solve all of their problems and a lot of people would rather they distanced themselves from hdp, this is why I predict the polls will underestimate İYİ Party's votes by a couple of percentage points at...

I just saw that video where Erdoğan says these are all terrorists and then the crowd chants: "Kemal, Terrorist". :ROFLMAO: They've cheapend that thing to no end, nobody outside their bubble is going to take that stuff seriously now. Maybe you bring back some of the lost votes, but you ain't...

If you read carefully, I am not talking about this election. I'm speculating for the election after this one, and that also in the case of an AKP victory this time. PISA doesn't miss, again. Secondly, the graveyard of history is furbished to the brim with the tombstones of political parties...

I'm a Turkish nationalist, and I once was a member of MHP; nobody who can look at the level of mismanagement and corruption (and the freefall) in education, investments, currency value, healthcare, public image, reputation of the country, free speech, media, judiciary, labor conditions, refugee...

OK the operation "create a crisis" is in full swing, I guess. These same people who would gladly drag the country into civil war to protect their interests, claim to be patriots. What a sick joke.

Those are from former French colonies going through the Mediterranean.

How is it that these same refugees who want to exit Turkey with Europe as their destination, can't get out? When they come in, even god cannot stop them, but when they want to go out suddenly the government becomes very powerful. :ROFLMAO:
