TR Casual Discussion Çay Bahçesi

[Turan]

Friends, I want to ask you something. This is a strange phenomenon I've observed for years. There seems to be a large number of pro-Russian supporters among Turks in Türkiye. This can be seen in the comments below this video. This just one example. There are also many Azerbaijanis among them. There are undoubtedly Russian bot accounts among them, but I don't believe all of these comments are bots.

It's completely impossible to understand the love of some Azerbaijani and Turkish Turks have for Russia. It's a state that has historically fought against Turks, a state that has committed bloody massacres against Turks (Baku, January 20). It also stands against Türkiye in most other proxy wars. Just a few years ago, they killed Turkish soldiers in Syria. It's a state that supports the PKK terrorist organization. And yet some Turks seem to love Russia and want it to triumph over Ukraine.

There is nothing strange about it,in every society you have people wanting Russia to win.
As you now there are many hardcore communists in Türkiye.
You should also take look at the ex-Soviet states in the EU like Slovakia,Romania even the older EU members want it covertly.
Khazakistan,Kirgizistan,Türkmenistan,Uzbekistan etc,100+ years of colonialism/indoctrination doesnt disappear when you're suddenly ''free''(over 35 years now).
African and Asian countries still think the West is superior to their people.

In Turkey, it's mainly communists. In Azerbaijan, it's mainly older generations that are nostalgic for USSR's "order". I doubt you will find more than a handful of younger people in the latter that actually like Russia. And this is considering that remnants of Russian colonization still exist in Azerbaijan like dubbing the vast majority of foreign movies in Russian language at the cinema instead of the native one.
