I believe it's the lack of pragmatism that makes some turks use the "feto" as an excuse, or "EU & USA loving traitors", I believe they can't see the forest because of alll those trees
I've previously mentioned that turkish politics is similar to rooting on a football team, Besiktas, Galatasaray or Fenerbahce (e.g.), once you pick your team, you refuse to acknowledge the other teams.
With the coming referendum people are trying to change it to us or them, mentality, but what they should be focusing on is. How much power and authority do we want to give a single human, what do we have in Turkey who can prevent one person from dragging Turkey into further chaos, check and balances.
Maybe we're already in a dire situation, but walking further down the path might not be the solution.
I read some articles about EU becoming more and more racist, and all I can say to that is, so what if EU is becoming more and more racist, does it help to draw up your own frontier? Or is it just provocation to deteriorate the situation even more. Not everyone in EU are dumb, and if we act properly and punish the politicians trying to escalate the situation. We'll be better off.
what AKP and RTE are doing atm is provocing a negative respons in order to affect the turkish peoples votes. By escalating the situation and by getting the negative respons from stupid EU politicians they're trying to show the turkish people that EU can't be trusted, and that we should "somehow" punish them.
All this can be summed up to AKP is in fact cooperating with the populist politicians to drive a wedge between Turkey and EU.
AKP and RTE damn well knew the immigration deal was Bullcrap, but they made that deal to have an Ace up their sleeve when it became necessary. All the while the turkish people have to put up with the refugee camps.
Think Goddamnit! Don't let them tell you what to think, and don't let them incite you! Allah gave you a brain!!
