Sorry, you barged in to a topic about Romania, so my guess is that you wanted it discussed? Secondly I think I can gauge your views from the way you write. And yes, Romania is very religious.

Yes, I happen to work with Romanians of Turkish descent (or how should i put it?:) ). They are 100% secular, they drink (no idea if they eat pork though), and besides their name and some physical differences you can't tell them apart from the Romanians. No idea how religious they are in their...

Romania is one of the most religious nations in the EU, with the Orthodox Church enjoying a lot of support and trust. As to the new prime minister: she's from Turkish (or Tartar?) descent, from Doborgea. This particular minority is fully integrated for over a century, hence nobody really cares...

+ Yeah.. He was one of your lot, with security clearance and everything. Usernamelles, would this path happen to lead to Pakistan v2 by playing the Islam card? Looking for CIA under the bed before you go to sleep is a first symptom you know... Anyway, I'm out, sorry if I disturbed or...

I haven't entered this forum, or this specific sub-forum for over half a year, logged in to see if further info is available from our Turkish members, but what I found.. - RIP for the ambassador - he held a sacred function much like the envoys of old - you don't touch one, no matter what - I'm...

That's a rather unfortunate way to hold a conversation. Also, what's with that link? I didn't post there It's the 21's century, you lost your empire some time ago and came very close to loosing everything.The vilayets, as you put it, beat you in the end an you got nothing worth while out of...

I think your nationalistic views (nothing wrong on being one) might cloud your judgement in the same way that some of the Western posters have their judgement clouded by the press when it comes to Turkey. Look at it this way: EU is very close. EU is very big and, except China, the biggest...

I voted "no" by mistake..:( Turkey should not be "thrown" out of NATO. Anyway, the better question is "Can Turkey afford being outside of NATO?" You're very short on friends as it is, and Russia is just around the corner. Remember that if Turkey didn't join NATO in the first place things might...

First R.I.P to all the people who died. Secondly I couldn't put it better. Erdogan has now a free hand to dismantle the army, one of the last potential opposition to his reign, meaning that he is "president for life". Don't see him loosing power until his death, which in turn I fear it's very...

Oh, congratulations . How's it going so far? :) Did the brits convert you yet to their tea and biscuits routine yet? :P

Orban's just gathering brownie points from the anti-muslim/anti-immigration crowd in the EU as he's trying to pose as their champion.(which doesn't make him wrong by default on some issue anyway) What does Islamization actually mean anyway? @flamer84 what's with the british flag?:)

Or maybe the USA just wants an assertive Iran. It's not about "fair" or about your defense capabilities - if they would want you gone, you would be gone - it's just that Iran is seen as potential ally for the future, with SA and the ME going insane and all.... Up to you how you choose your route...

Give it a rest with this topics already :disagree: Britain was a colonial power because it was successful and it could impose it's will on other people (and kill them, since you brought it up). That's the way the world works, nasty as it sounds. Does that make them "evil"? Or does that make...

Honestly I didn't expect something like this from Denmark :) (and I'll bet that it won't get applied anyway) But community work, that's an idea! Not only will it help alleviate the financial costs of having them, but it will help tremendously with integration and keeping them out of self made...

Nothing major will happen, everyone chill out. Somewhere next year a Turkish jet will get shoot down/ship sunk by the Russians for some excuse and that's that. Putin will save face (whatever is left of it) and if The Sultan tries to take things further afterwards he will be told to shut up...

Pragmatically, the Turkmen villages, or whatever is left of them, will be hit even harder. A no fly zone (enforced by Russia) is probable over the area (hampering any attempt for you to intervene there). Support will also be increased for the Kurdish fighters. You also put NATO in a awkward...

And what did you gain Sinan?

No - brief airspace/maritime violations are not meet with deadly force between countries not at war. If that were the case we would have perpetual wars

Although I'm not the one to support Russia, by far...but.. What happened today was a totally uncalled for and incredible reckless act from Erdogan and the Turkish air force. You simply do not act like that. Now for the bad:Turkey just handed Russia a golden opportunity to mess with them in...

I don't agree with how the Greeks acted and I also don't agree with uncontrolled immigration. This people should be put in temporary camps with shelter and food until a solution is found, not drowned, and not dispersed through Europe. Turkey is getting a lot of hate lately, which again I think...
