    Let’s think about the country and see if we can come up with any possible problems somebody might have with it.

    Yes it’s in NATO but I’m pretty certain that NATO simply has them because they would prefer to have them inside pissing out.

    Do people actually hate Turkish people? I know they can be obnoxious in online games, but in real life they are pretty wholesome. And I think It’s generally the same for all Turkic peoples, but I haven’t met many.

    What is the most popular tv series in nato?

    Figured that would be EuroVision or whatever that music competition is called. Which is not from the US.

      1. Those are seperate points

      2. It’s probably “what’s fatmagül’s fault?”

      “Pute” specifically means the domesticated version of the “Truthuhn”.

      The French word is “dinde”, and the ethmology IIRC is “from India” (d’Inde)

      Now, in French, “pute” is a derogatory term for a prostitute.

        In turkey the bird is named Hindi, after India. In the Netherlands is called after Calicut. In Portugal, it’s called after Peru, however in Arabic it’s an Ethiopian rooster. In Malaysia is called a Dutch bird.

        The explanation is that people through America was India, hence calling it after India a lot (Peru being what Portugese thought was America).

        However the people who first encountered the bird they thought it loaded like a particular woodfoul that was imported from Turkey, calling it a turkey bird.

        India and other Asian countries only know it from European trade, calling it either Turkey, Dutch chicken or something else like fire bird (china).

    People hate us turks for various reasons.

    1. They visited turkey as tourists and were exploited through high prices, haggling, rude and impatient service sector workers

    2. They met some of the brainwashed assholes that are sucking up to the current dictator

    3. They have an immigrant community of turks in their country that don’t assimilate

    4. They are or have connections to a historical group of people with bad blood with turks (serbs, greeks, armenians) NB : I do not think that those people are bad.

    5. Because the current state of the country is a fucking disaster for various perspectives

    6. BECAUSE TÜRKİYE NUMBER VAN BAYBEE, DATS VHY I LIVE DIASPORA TIME! IS NICE!

      Everyone in Germany relates. Though the public image of Turks in Germany was vastly improved after OTHER arabic/african immigrants started coming.

      Also, give back Constantinople.

          Well I thought I’d ask. With that I’ve already done more than the latin kingdoms 1445 onwards.

        “an unfortunate and voluntary relocation”, according to Turkey.

        But everyone else can summarize in a single word, it starts with a G

          armenia repeatedly declined the invitation for discussing this matter in court and opening their archives. all of your ideas about the turk-armenian conflicts are put in your head by propaganda. armenian lobby is strong in the us and also in eu.

              you can fight with windmills and put words in my mouth all you want. lobbying in us and eu is very clear. if you are certain that turks committed genocide in eastern anatolia lets all open our archives in court and discuss this matter clear and openly. even pashinyan avoided this matter recently.

                Lobbying from a small nation with no money, resources or military power, that doesn’t even buy our stuff and snuggles up to Russia for protection? I don’t really see how that would work. It doesn’t check out with the behaviour of US/EU other conflicts, like Israel or Armenia-Azerbaijan, where we immediately sided with the party that had oil/gas and bought our weapons.

                I’m willing to have my mind changed, but the gut feeling doesn’t really point that way here
