In other words in 1990 our Total gdp was below Sweden and Switzerland, and equal with Belgium. Today our total GDP is at least the double of Sweden and Belgium

1990: Turkey number 19 200$ billion, countries such as Sweden and Switzerland with 5 million Holland 15 million population above us. 2015: Turkey number 17 800$ billion, Switzerland, Sweden, Holland below us, but Indonesia above us with above 200 million population. Can you try and explain me...

Not Africa mate, way worse than most African nations. Living in denial must be a bliss. And way to compare, if you are interested in figures comparing Turkey, the way to go is not comparing Turkey in time with other countries, but comparing Turkey in time with it self. For example, Turkey GDP in...

You either don't have the gut to admit the African standards Turkish majority lived under Kemalist Elite rules, or you don't want to admit it because you simply have a short memory.

I know you are Kurdish, not because i am nationalistic, but that raises serious questions in my mind on whether you side with Anatolians or have other agenda's siding with kemalists, as most Kurds gladly do in the coastal touristic cities in Turkey. Anyone with an ounce of brain and decency are...

I have been following this forum for many years, thought i would join some discussions especially pertaining to Turkey. Im from Sweden, Turkish parents, University graduate working in politics. Looking forward

What a logic man.. Comparing proxy war with national airspace violation

Why is turkey fighting pkk? Good morning we have been fighting them for decades. ISIS doesnt pose the same threat as these seperatist terrorist do. And as a country invested in its own interest we have every right to conduct any operation we wish. Isis is priority number 19 while pkk is 1 That...

So we should indefinately continue on the US' locomotive?

USA, Britain and Australia are 3 countries as well, but they have constructed similar interests in their anglosphere world politics. I am well aware of the huge difference in economic output and power generally when it comes to countries like Turkey and Indonesia, but there is potential. I'm...

Although the intentions behind d8 was and is important i don't think it will provide much cohesion among its members. There is way too much difference. Im writing on phone atm so im not at liberty to do research on d8. But as far as i remember you have nations like Nigeria Pakistan Iran etc...

Why do you think i decided to leave the organisation many years ago? In their hierarchical structure of system only cynical egoistical people gained ''ranks'', the lower levels who actually shed some sweat and did it solely for promoting what they honestly believed in were abused

Look Look buddy. I was part of the organisation for a long time in Scandinavia. I am perfectly aware of their capabilities. The movement and akp began diverging in many political aspects. Everybody entangled in turkish politics know that akp and gulenists were in bed and akp has gained a lot...

Yes we used them to further our case. But now we dont need them especially after their betrayal of the turkish state and military.

Why do you have the urge to resort to personal insult? People with insufficient mental capacity tend to do that. If you are in favor of ignoring an ideological movement infiltrating state institutions. You are free to do that.

We are all aware of the competency of CHP and MHP in this country. 70 years of utter disaster is the kemalist legacy to Turkey. I'll be voting for AK Parti again, as about 70% of Turkish people do in Europe (disregarding kurds who vote for HDP). It seems some people desperatly want to be...

It seems im unable to create a thread - I'll just add it here and hear your opinion on this matter, since it is in many ways an economical/political matter. Why does Turkey not take an initiative in establishing a coalition of the most developed muslim Sunni nations. Ultimately Turks are not...

Shame that this thread is removed from being sticky. I have been visiting this page for many years due to its up-to-date info regarding Turkish developments. I particularly don't find Turkish news source very informative due to bad journalism. After 2013, when the Gülen movement chose to be a...

Don't forget and underestimate the effect of Fetullah Gulen communities activities in Europe including Germany. They are very effective in undermining the current Turkish government and by doing so they harm Turkey as a whole as well. Too bad they don't realize how to protect the interest of the...
