Looks like the Persians here really aren't taking this too well. Don't worry, once the US starts turning their attention back to Iran, these same posters will be calling us brothers again. Meanwhile, looks like the Tiger forces are so diminished they're now sending in kids on pickup trucks

It's only a big difference if you have insecurities about it. Trust me it's minor. Most history books and academic studies of Iranian Turks use Turkish all the time. Just because you think that's how it should be doesn't mean that's how it is. You're just making things up. Turkish = "Turk"...

You know there's not much difference between Turkey and China GDP per capita, so if Turkey is third world so is China. 2018 China - 9,608.420 Turkey - 9,346.232 China only surpassed $9k last year so you're basically saying China is a third world country too

Lol Turkey's GDP per capita by most counts is still higher than China's.

Are you really going to quibble over semantics? The suffix "ish" means being or belong to. Turkish means being Turk, Turkish language means language belonging to Turks. Its grammatically correct and a trivial thing to argue over. No it doesn't. Turkish means being associated with or...

Azerbaijan is the name of a region, Azerbaijani are people from that region (mostly Turks). Iranian Turks live throughout Iran not just the north west. There are around 2 million Turks in the southern Zagros region, Qashqai and the Turkic tribes that formed part of the Khamseh. Nomads but also...

I didn't say he was flawless. The crowd was angry, what did you expect him to say? He's a military man, he will have his biases especially when soldiers are killed. But you're right in a sense, he needs to moderate his words sometimes. I remember when he said how they would bury the ypg in...

Is that necessarily a good thing? I mean what do we really know about him, what his policies will be, what he stands for on national issues and so on? What is his concept of the national interest? Or would he just try to prove his liberal credentials by bowing to every western demand. How...

This has generally been my experience with Palestinians and Palestine supporters too. Turkey sticks its neck out for Palestinians, facing political and economic consequences for it, yet it's never enough, or its unappreciated, or they still accuse Turkey of being in bed with the zionists lol...

Looks like RTE's alliance with the MHP is coming to an end then now the elections are over and hes got no more need to play the nationalist card. Wonder what his play is now? Ditch the nationalist vote and win over the "kurdish" vote in a rerun for istanbul? This guy changes his stripes...

It's easy to kill people, much harder to kill an idea. To do that you need to go after those who push, promote, spread and normalise the idea. Turkish intelligence should have agents in every district of every province in Turkey compiling lists of sympathisers. They don't need to be fighters...

Should also add it wasn't just the pkk in bekaa, also asala and other armenians too. Some carried out attacks against Turkish targets, others went to Karabagh to fight Azerbaijan.

There are good palestinians and bad like in all nations. This isn't about individuals, but the politics. It's a cause which many leaders encourage Turks to support but is never returned. Bizarre considering this cause is rooted in fighting the Turks and supporting the British Empire...

Also worth noting the US-Palestinian senator Rashida Tlaib plays a role in the anti-Turkish group in the US congress, she just recently co-sponsored a Bill which supports the Armenian Genocide allegations. Read the text https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-resolution/296/text it...

Kazan is the capital of Tatarstan though. Okay reading the BBC article the article links to it says East of Kazan, not in Kazan.

Sad news. Many reports now coming out of China that renowned Uyghur singer and poet, Abdurehim Heyit, has been killed in a Chinese concentration camp. He was secretly arrested in early 2017 with news only getting out later that year.

Useful and detailed list of the National Army groups

The same is true for Tunisia too. There are millions of North Africans from Libya, Tunisia and Algeria who have Turkish ancestry.
