I mean there was the 1999 earthquake.

@Mehmed Ali, enough. If you have a personal problem with @Can't think of a Name then sort it out in private messages. Do you have a source? There was also a 3.8 magnitude one in New York just now. Also to all Turkish users, please post any reputable links to donate money or supplies.

I...don't even have words.

Gentlemen, this thread is for casual, easygoing chit-chat, let's not turn it into a place for heated religious debate. We can create separate threads for that. Without naming names, I would also like to call for respect for each other's religious beliefs. I haven't seen anything that crosses...

No country in the world has fixed their demographic issues by becoming an immigration country, they have only made their problems worse. The reason people don't have many kids is because it is difficult with an increasingly worse economy and public services. I see in in the US, now imagine it...

Oh goody, we finally put it down after letting it hover in US airspace for what, 2 days? I'm not sure how seriously I can take a guy claiming that these balloons are difficult to spot when people on the ground could literally see it.

Mekteb and Mualim, yes. Vilayet, I only heard it used twice and it's not very common AFAIK. Most people tend to use rayon (from Russian райо́н) instead, at least in Baku, though that may not be the case with younger generations who grew up on Turkish TV (Azerbaijani TV is sadly complete garbage...

"How to destroy an Abrams tank." With ATGMs, drones, artillery and mines. And praying that your opposition is stupid enough to drive their tanks into ambushes without infantry scouting and support. There, I just saved you having to watch the video. A tank is a tank, Russian analysts aren't...

Toe be fair The Sun isn't exactly a shining example of journalism and there were publications in the British press detailing horrors inflicted upon Turkish Cypriots as well. Plus it's not like Turks and other non-European nations don't have unflattering depictions of Europeans - why do you think...

"bring to Canada from countries where they are at risk" Given how Canadian politics are nowadays, I don't think Uyghurs will be much safer from the CCP there than anywhere else. China is too big to be the next Saddam. They are the "Big Bad" of US foreign policy or so it would appear. Saddam...

Speaking of Turkmens, why are they getting left out of these discussions? The Assyrians were mentioned which have like, what, less than 3 million total population in the entire world?

Presumably because unlike Russia, South Korea won’t stab Turkey in the back or present terms that are basically exclusively benefitting Russia.

Which had mostly Iranian passengers too IIRC. Talk about an own goal.

By that metric Israel isn't directly attacking Iran either. Directly attacking would mean the IDF is actually assaulting Iranian military facilities.

Israel has cooperated with Azerbaijan to hamper Iran before. Not going to mention specific examples but that cooperation goes back many, many years after Iran started trying to screw around in Azerbaijan to turn it into yet another extremism-infested vassal. And Iran isn't going to invade...

This is incorrect. Mughal ruling class were of Turkic origin, Timur himself was of Turkic origin. Huns are debatable, while they intermixed with Turkic people and have shared heritage, they appear to be a separate steppe peoples. As for the Mongols, there's a reason their conquests used to be...

Iranian regime claims that the man attacked the embassy after his wife left him for Azerbaijan and he wanted to "bring her back". They've had like 4 different versions of the official story thus far, including one involving the man leaving his daughter in the car before going to the embassy...

For some reason this reminds me of that grassroots Turkish rocket program from the 60s by a bunch of enthusiastic youth that they made a movie about recently. The one that suddenly got shut down and disappeared without explanation. Turkish nation has a lot of parasites holding it down. When's...

I give it another year, maybe year and a half. I think Ukraine will recover most of its territory, if not all of it, but the war is going to take an absolutely huge toll on them and they are going to be massively in debt. I suspect economically the clock will be rolled back several decades and...

No, it isn't. It was an incredibly stupid move playing right into the hands of those who hate Turkey. You also misunderstand the idea of NATO, no member state can be forced to fight in the case of Article 5 being invoked. Turkey can send armed forces, it can just as well send some drones and...
