It's all pronounced Chingiz, lol. I don't know where "Genghis" even came from, it's a flat-out bastardization like how some Brits call the Pyramids of Giza, "Pyramids of Gaiza".

I don't think Russia cares particularly much about Donbas, since people there are living in squalor. They only really care about Crimea and not for the reasons people think (warm water port - Russia already has 3 other naval bases on the Black Sea) but because they wanted to block Ukraine from...

Laz are Georgians though and they are some of the biggest nationalists in Turkey lmao.

Then why are you attacking a Turkish member living in the UK? Hypocrite much? And yes, I am thankful for Turkish support. We would've taken Karabakh regardless since the odds were in our favor but thanks for putting it all down to Erdogan, UAE shill. BTW, I am against Erdogan (and Aliyev)...

Ironic, coming from a French flag.

Dude, what the hell are you on about? Do you think I posted that out of some "Turkey is not democratic, bwahahaha" mentality or to point out that the US government under Biden has a hate boner against Turkey? Who do you take me for? I'm willing to bet I care a hell of a lot more for Turkey's...

https://www.state.gov/participant-list-the-summit-for-democracy/ Biden's "Democracy" summit invitation list. A very curious absence of a certain capital T country.

"Just give out free money bro!" Splendid and whose money will you be spending? Noel Baba'nin?

Expulsion and massacres of Turks and other Turkish-aligned minorities from the Balkans was definitely not justified. However, let's not stoop to the level of claiming that the Janissary system was OK in any way. Some people paid to have their children accepted because it was better than living...

Shockwave protection or shrapnel from a near-hit? Maybe it might save a life. From a direct hit? Might as well not bother.

We are one of the few importers aside from Ukraine who actively use Turkish tech and were doing it while UAE was funding Haftar. Funny how you cut off where the article is from - Middle East Monitor. It's also incorrect. The numbers are only for the first quarter of 2021, in general UAE is...

I don't really think it's said in a happy "YAAAY, Turkey is gonna break apart" manner (Greece has got a fair amount of their own issues coming up that will cause plenty of tears everywhere) more in a "wow, s**t's going down big time in Turkey". Civil was is a misnomer though. It's like outside...

I think it will exist in some pro-Turkish form mainly because of how much atheism and nationalism has risen in the country. A major problem is that the form of Islamism being pushed in Turkey is very much the version that the Arab monarchies invented i.e. Wahhabism. I'm sure very few people now...

Translation: "Erdogan went begging to us for cash so he placate the masses long enough to get past 2023 unscathed and we got the whole country in our claws."

It's because of the elections probably. If Erdogan lets the Central Bank do their jobs, the economy will stabilize but it will result in short-term pain for long-term gain. While will coincide with 2023 and absolutely guarantee that AKP loses in a landslide. With this, he can theoretically cope...

I've had a thought. If the guarantee of Turkey as protector of Turkish Cypriots is given away as in the Annan Plan, then doesn't that mean that Greece also has to give away their rights as protectors of Greek Cypriots? And if not or if Turkey does not trust foreign peacekeepers to be impartial...

Guy should run for president. Mansur Yavas would be my #1 pick (if I could vote in Turkey) but Ozcan would be a good backup choice.

I expect the price of gold to keep rising actually. The current economic instability, even before COVID-19 hit, led to people worldwide stockpiling reserves by the thousands. So investing in gold is a pretty good idea, though it should've been seriously considered about 2-3 years back instead of...

HDP is more practical as a mousetrap, in theory. As Lool pointed out, when the previous parties were disbanded, they simply reformed. Issue is that said mousetrap isn't being used effectively. The best strategy would be to cut off their funding entirely but that is a more difficult territory to...

Turkey can replace Russia with Ukraine. Or Pakistan. Additionally, Turkish academics are studying thorium just fine on their own and could even suggest to co-operate with India on the subject. You really don't want to end up depending on Russia for energy needs. Russia knows better than anyone...
