Would favor names from Turkic Mythology like TF-23 Kizagan (God of War), Tulpar (Flying Horse), Kuara (God of Thunder), Burkut (Eagle God of the Sun) or my suggestion Kağan (Emperor) Other suggestion i liked was Alper. Kartal / Eagle or Anadolu Kartali / Anatolian Eagle are boring one is used...

FGM (female genital mutilation) in Iraq and Iran is the highest among kurdish communities also honour killings, so much for their "pro women nature". The average IQ might be high in the West but the people actually are totally stupid and naive about such topics.

Ebabil comes from the Semitic language

Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, Brazil are in my opinion possible customers, especially Azerbaijan which is currently undergoing a change from Soviet/Russian to NATO military standards with the assistance of Türkiye needs a Air Force which can operate with TuAF in the future.

Imports increased by 34.3% Exports increased by 12.9% But everything is fine... right? I just don't understand how people can see those official numbers and keep believing the opposite or even play down the current economic situation...

Another amusing fact is that in Türkiye they want education in their language, in Europe they continue speaking Turkish.

Sometimes you just need to pour more gasoline into the fire... :whistle:

Imagine you meet with Cem Özdemir a so called German Politican with Turkish roots (actually Circassian) who regulary vistis PKK meetings in Germany, condems the country he "originates" from etc. etc. He reminds me somehow to this movie character and i'm not talking about the role DiCaprio is...
