None of that matters; tribalism still finds a way look at Brexit. The only way to end the Kurdish problem and other ethnic problems is for Turkey to disrupt the ethnic dominance of Kurds in the East and mix their population up with the rest of Turkey's ethnic groups. As long as there is any...

I thought it was to get know-how in order to build an actual aircraft carrier sometime in the 30s?

Am I the only one that thinks they should have painted the Hurjet before releasing images of it to the public? I know that it doesn't really matter but it would just look better for marketing.

it might not be such a farfetched dream as the semiconductor industry is hitting the physical limit of how far the industry can go and Turkey is only around 18 years behind.
