A quick google search indicates there are 100k Turks living in Sweden and 10k Swedes living in Turkey. Turkey´s 2012 population is over 80 million and Sweden´s is 12 million.
As you see everything is relative, "many" in the Swedish context is "few" in the Turkish one. Sweden has never been a favourite destination for Turks. (Just remember the 3 million Turks in Germany).
Many Turks emigrated to Sweden were of Kurdish origin or leftist political asylum seekers. They left the country either using this point as pretext or since some of them were the victims of brutalities. The main reason here is not cultural but political. Sweden was run by governments that would support people with a certain political view.
Interesting views, vineyard. Thank you for sharing it.
I do think it´s sad though, to hear that two cultures are incompatible. Especially since there are many Turks living in Sweden and many of them seem happy with their Swedish wives/husbands. I guess that it´s not as good as I thought.
To be honest, I´m not looking for a man or husband in any country, so it really doesn´t matter to me personally. I already know that I will be single for the rest of my life, so I have decided to focus on other things. 
Interesting to read what everyone thinks. It makes me feel ashamed of being Swedish. 
And of course, it makes me really sad that people probably think I am disgusting and pathetic because I´m Swedish.
