    My favorite World Cup is still ‘86 Mexico. It’s the first and so far the only WC where I watched every single game! And of course the man with the “hand of God”, Maradona 🥰

    It’s only logical and make sense too. But Mr. Erdoğan is known to defy logic in the sense that he considers such acts makes him above logic. That’s why we sometimes get edgy when he declares a project ☹️

    Any start is a good start, no matter how ”insignificant “ it may look. Gotta start somewhere, right? Tru story. I remember seeing the first so called indigenous Turkish plane, probably 40-45 years ago, named “Mavi Işık” (Blue Light). It was nothing but a generic, good old fashion crop duster 😉...
