British men prepare to fight Turkish-led forces in Syria

[TurkeyForever]

As a interesting side note the term "Bosnian Muslim" is now relic of the past. The term "Bosniak" is now used to develop a secular identity for that demography.

Regarding Bosniaks.. did you know more of them live in Turkey than in Bosnia?

If you like white women but you want her to have muslim moral values than I think Bosniak girls are the best you'll find, second would be Turkey. But Turkey is mixed with so much DNA.
You got darker-med girls and viking girls and asian girls all in one country.

I am laughing here, mate. Come on. All those resorts in Turkey have piles of Russians known as easy lays - okay some might be slightly over the hill but they must be worth a bang. And you let few Kurds come in the way? You need to perhaps revisit your strategy. Maybe get advice from a seasoned vet like @xenon54

But don't go gay please ...... ha ha! I got to go for my evening jog but I will have big smile on my face.

haha noway I get turned off by gay stuff.

Seriously only way to get a girls is to talk to her, how else can you get girls?
Problem here is at clubs and disco's you don't even get that chance.

Regarding the kurds, you got many low paid waitors (kurds) working in the disco's. It's not just 1-2 it's like 10+ then 2 tourist girls enter the disco and they surround the girls and do everything in their power to go to the EU. They want to take advantage of these girls and they have no shame or pride so they don't mind being turned down so they talk to all girls and if you talk to 100 girls sooner or later one will fall for your BS.
I just don't want to compete with such losers that are trying to take advantage of girls, so I don't even compete I just shake my head.

Russians? Yes seem some good looking ones but not at the disco's.

I dress well and I look good, so it's not my fault really. It's the surrounding.
If these clubs/disco's had 50% girls I would have no problem at all catching a fish.

They should have a policy that waitors in these disco's are not allowed to pick on guests/customers but they don't which sucks. I need to move soon

Turkey is excellent if you want to get married and have a family, but if you want the dating and party scene as a guy it feels like the wrong country to be in.

When did i make a image like this?

Bro teach me:

Erdogan shouldn’t intervene in Syria.

This news sounds bad.

But Iran should? ok deal.

Wow,are you sure you are Chinese cause such a post from a Chinese members is very rare.
Im writing this because most Chinese are anti Turkiye,no offence.

I am 100% Chinese culturally, ethnically, read Chinese and speak Mandarin. I'm from North East China with ancestry in Shandong the home of Confucius. I'm Chinese as far back as I can tell.

Totally understand where you are coming from with that statement and sentiment about some Chinese posters. The power and reach of Western media is global, though attitudes about its reporting are changing (unevenly). Chinese people used to listen and trust BBC many years back out of naivety but is now a running joke in China. Whenever a BBC report comes out about China, people don't take it seriously any more and think it's hilarious. Whenever BBC reports a neutral or positive piece about China, Chinese joke that "things doesn't seem right if BBC isn't smearing you" and act all surprised to comedic effect. This is the case about their reporting on China but they listen with less scepticism to Western media's reporting regarding else where, as there is no Chinese equivalent source. Often local (internet, print, tv) news reports use Western sources for some events they cannot cover directly. Chinese media coverage is not yet comparable to the West. These reports affect some Chinese's sentiment about Turkey. They have portrayed Turkey as a hot bed for extremism and a destabilising force in the region/world, will derail the whole Eurasian cooperation and an adversary to China, playing into Chinese civilian's deep disdain for extremism. When in reality most Chinese strategists see the opposite (they think quite independently). You will be surprised by the contrast between Chinese strategists' view of Turkey (much more positive) and some civilians who are influenced by media. When they see coup underway in Turkey they don't know the context, when they see terrorist attacks in Turkey they don't know who is doing it or why, when they see Erdogan consolidating power they don't know the context and history behind it. This is regarding politics, most Chinese are neutral to positive about Turkish culture, by that I mean the Chinese perception of Turkish culture like the food, singing, dancing, clothing (traditional, many Chinese find it beautiful), and overall vibe of coastal Turkey.

During the G20 meeting in 2016, Xi Jinping stood beside Erdogan and Merkel, while Obama stood further away. This is symbolic, leaders don't just get randomly placed. Turkey is quite important to the region and to China. Though the Turkish center of power had moved further west over the last thousand years (now buffered by many countries), China still has a lingering feeling that it's not that far away adding to the sensitivity.

The West can demonize Turkey in the media, in reality they cannot do much, "the only thing to fear is fear itself". If Turkey can handle the Kurds and maintain internal security (which I think Turkey can) then you don't have to worry more than that. By Chinese philosophy this is a time to lay quiet and do real work, let the opposition have their superficial wins in the media. Any real action only speeds up Eurasian cooperation further weakening Western interests in the Middle East. They fear direct action will result in speeding up China's rise and regional connectivity (isolating America) thus can only implement indirect action like supporting Kurds for disruption. Later coming in with the whole "good cop, bad cop" tactic to win back a weakened Turkey (at least that's their hope).

I read a turkish article the other day about how China wants to really invests into Turkey and believes in Turkey, that Turkey is part of some silk road project.

So that sounds positive, china becoming a super power by helping countries succeed is better than US tactic of attacking and threatening everyone like a crazy dog.

I waited for you to back up your claim a bit but nothing came from your side.

So, i will explain to readers why snow lake's claims can't be true.

Although, some of the Turkish cities are more conservative, Istanbul is a cosmopolitan, you can see all kind of people there. A girl with a mini skirt is not an uncommon sight. But the important part is "Topkapı Palace". It is a touristic place and lots of tourists visits the place. Nobody will look you weird because you wear a skirt. Maybe in "Fatih" district very the ultra conservatives live...(and i'm saying maybe) But definetly not is Topkapı Palace.

It same as saying "I went to Antalya and saw a girl in bikini. People were looking weird to her."

And that's your proof. And you got 2 idiotic likes. What a silly school boy you are.
I tell you why you can't be Turkish.....because you have no idea what turkey is today. You are stuck in the western worship. Remember you are the people who used to force girls to take hijabs off at the gates of establishments like universities. Today turkey is full of girls with hijab on and I am talking Istanbul. The musjids are full of young men and women worshipping. The trams are full or girls and you will find it hatd to find a woman inappropriatly dressed. Yes you do see the odd woman with a mini skirt but it's not common and they get dirty looks. You are about as Turkish today as a Kurd. Back to school.

NOW WHERE IS YOUR PROOF I HAVEN'T BEEN TO TURKEY

Long time ago, my friend.

I dont want to sound anti Bosniak, but Bosnia radicalized very fast since times of Yugoslavia.

I will not post something from Serbian sources, but from Croatian instead.

In this article Croatian journalists said that S. Arabia pays Bosniak women around 50 euros per month to put burqas on themselves.

@snow lake

If women wear mini skirt it doesnt mean that she is whore.

I have been to Istanbul, and for women it is nothing more worse then any Balkan or even Central European country. I even find Istanbul girls to more communicative then those Spanish girls from catholic families.
If you are not schauvinist pig and look handsome, you can get into relationship with Western Turkish girls, I never did, but one guy from my former water polo team did.
For exampe I think that my friend would think twice before he start flirting with Saudi girl.

Now who said she was a whore? That's your assumption. I won't bother to read the rest.

Have you ever travelled outside your pind?

Really you are asking such a question. Maybe you you try leaving you mud hut and visit the local bazaar

 

[Jugger]

Xenon asked you question and asked "which laws" ???

Why you won't answer.... ???

You guys should stop talking about mini skirts, I'm going all crazy here.

They are hard up. But maybe the women in their homes wear them so they got offended when I said locals do not approve. I saw what I saw and if they don't like it I don't care. Doenst mean I was wrong

"Turkey is full of girls with hijab"......yea, yea. Your whole post is proof that you have never been in Turkey, yet alone in Istanbul.

First of all this not Topkapı Palace like you said but Hagia Sophia.

Secondly, i wouldn't be happy or sad because you visited Turkey or not.

And for Quora...it just written by random people. It's reliable as wiki if not worse.

 

[313ghazi]

I visited for a week last year. In my limited time there I observed that the Turks who were in Sultanahmet were dressed a little more conservatively (even if it was western attire). That probably made sense because they'd be visiting religious sites of historical significance.

I took a day trip to Taksim Square and travelled down to the Galata Tower through the shopping district. I could have been in any city in Europe. On another day I travelled to the "mall of Istanbul" which was a horrible HUGE shopping centre and again it was no different to any major city in Europe.

I think overall there was less cleavage and legs on show, but people still dressed in a very European manner. Of course this is limited to my little holiday.

One thing that was very different to the UK was the number of fat people. The Turks are not very fat. The fatties I saw were mostly tourists.

I have a friend who lived and studied I Fatih for 6 months, he said it was very Conservative there. I think it's safe to say society there is changing. It was ultra secular for decades, now there has been a pro religious push and you can see that in the streets.

After reading some of your posts(not only on this thread,i find that you really do deserve a TTA title,its good to see that there are people who know what they are talking about.

 

[-SINAN-]

the conversation moved on. Where does it say on the pictures it's topkopi palace. I get more dance out of my 7yr old neice. This conversation is over. You are too stupid to be a Turk

You made the claim that I have never been to Turkey and no youhave no feeling. Who cares What You think. Fact is I blew your claim out of the water . So jog on to school

Reported for personal insults.

 

[-SINAN-]

I have no objection to your post except this.

I have a friend who lived and studied I Fatih for 6 months, he said it was very Conservative there. I think it's safe to say society there is changing. It was ultra secular for decades, now there has been a pro religious push and you can see that in the streets.

Fatih district not become conservative but it had been always a very conservative district.

So, by seeing Fatih district you shouldn't come to a conclusion that Turkish society is becoming more conservative.

This is Turkey vs Britain but on a different soil. It’s stupid
