Turkish Politics & Internal Affairs

[Yankee-stani]

It's not a monarch or a wannabe-democracy. There will be elections and the winner gets the rule the country. The current ruling party would already be out if it wasn't for Erdoğan himself. I highly doubt they'd win if Erdoğan wasn't involved. They might still get lots of voters from the conservative part of the country but nowhere near as much to rule the country alone. There would possibly be coalitions.

It seems the AKP still is heavily still under Erdogan underpinnings plus with increased urbanization and disatification among the youth with AKP conservative policies do you think parties like the IYI or CHP stand to benefit

Erdogan isn't selling properties. A greedy developer built those monstrosities and is now crying to the media that nobody will buy them.

It's a non story. The Turkish economy is seeing hard times, but a lot of these stories are printed to help present a view to suit an agenda. I know I sound like someone wearing a tinfoil hat, but the media is more about defining opinion than reporting news.

But all those Construction companies have links with AKP govt right @T-123456

Police in Kilis, a province in Turkey’s southeast bordering Syria, are being sent to Arabic language lessons to better deal with the population of Syrian migrants, who now outnumber the local population, Turkish news portal Diken reported on Tuesday.

Seventy police from Kilis will attend the course, which is run in the scope of “You Speak I Understand,” a collaborative project by the local police department and a private educational institute.

İdris Bozkurt, a Kilis police officer involved in the programme, told reporters he believed the course would be useful for ensuring there is no lack of communication with Syrian residents of the area.

Turkish cities bordering Syria host over half of the refugees from that country, Turkish English-language pro-government Daily Sabah newspaper reported last January. Last June the number of Syrian refugees in Turkey was estimated at more than 3.5 million, though many other Syrians living in Turkey are there on non-refugee visas or as undocumented migrants.

Last year Daily Sabah placed the number hosted in Kilis at 131,000 – a thousand more than the city’s local population. In 2016 ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) deputy Ayhan Sefer Üstün nominated Kilis for a Nobel Peace Prize to honour the city’s humanitarian efforts dealing with the large influx from Syria, where conflict has raged since the brutal suppression of a popular uprising in 2011.

More than 10,000 of Kilis’s refugee population are housed in Öncüpınar, where the Turkish government has created a highly developed “container camp” with schools, mosques and play areas for children.

Not all parts of Turkey are as welcoming of the Arabic language: local news sources reported that municipalities had removed shop signs in Arabic in areas of Istanbul and in the southern Turkish province of Hatay.

Short term this is a good idea, but in the medium-long term it is better that the refugees be forced to learn Turkish. Make them all attend schools and charge anyone who has been there longer than 2 years for translation services.

First Orthodox church to be built in Turkey since 1923

Municipal authorities in Istanbul have given the go-ahead for the construction of the first Orthodox church in the city since 1923, Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported on Wednesday.

The mayor of the city's Bakirkoy district, Bulent Kerimoglu, told reporters that licenses have been issued and that the project will be completed in two years, during a meeting with the Syriac Orthodox Church’s metropolitan on Wednesday.

The new church, which is expected to accommodate 700 worshippers, will be built in the district of Yesilkoy, which is close to Istanbul's international airport, the paper said.

they will piss off.

 

[Fenasi Kerim]

they will piss off.

Not with this government they won’t, not with any, how are you going to deport almost 4.5 million people? Time we accept we will have an Arab PKK on our hands in 10-20 years.

Syrians will turn from “agbeeeaaa Turkiye cok guzelll” to “dovlet bize bahmmiiiyyy”.

 

[Glass]

already 300k of them returned in 2018 this bastard gov also understand that it cant go on like this forever.

Credit where credit is due. Arabs are incredibly talented when it comes to learning foreign languages. It is amazing how fast they catch up. For instance, majority of Turkey-born Syrian children is already speaking fluently Turkish.

I don't have any fears for the future as long as the state is willing to assimilate them into our society. We did it once, we'll do it again.

They're easy targets.

Children learn languages always faster than adults.

So you think our Arab loving Goverment and it's anti Türk politicans will assimilate Arabs in the Turkish culture/society?

Human nature cannot given free reign a human being dont limit himself eventually gonna ... himself.Self discipline is a must to create quality citizens/society.Total freedom is simply chaos.You either control your insticts/emotions or they control you.

As liberal as i consider myself i agree with this, there is a limit to everything, ofcourse everybody can do what they want but that doesnt mean we have to trivialize everything.
I wouldnt like my wife, sister, daughter to behave like that for exsample just as they would have certain expectations from me.

 

[what]

Why would I be scared personally? as a guy I can enjoy it, but think beyond your dick about the day your women and sisters are riding left and right without shame and families no longer exist. See the 'liberated feminised' west of today with the rising divorce rates of which most are being initiated by women.

Almost like humans are not meant to be monogamous, right?

 

[what]

they will piss off.

I dont think so, we'll be lucky if half of them return.

 

[Saddam Hussein]

Almost like humans are not meant to be monogamous, right?

We evolved beyond natural desires, that's why we call ourselves civilised, right? Otherwise the nearest good looking girl would get raped on a daily basis by these natural desires.

Good luck establishing order if you want to go completely by our nature.

This type of thinking is just plain stupid. If they stay you'll see what will happen in the future, and it won't be pretty.
