Sorry Qdemir, I like to read it but I looked at the text: much too difficult for me. Maybe I can read that in 5 years...

The author seems he couldn't translate the word "expatriate /expat" into Turkish, and produced the word " expatik".
The text says that Latin expatriates can accommodate Turkish culture easier than other expatriates. There are around 360 Latin daughers-in-law in Turkey.
Generally, the expatriates can cope with some accommadation problems easily as they are married to Turks whose majority have studied at university abroad, and they are familiar with the western culture. However the expatriates who are married to Turks whom they have met in the Turkish touristic resorts have some problems with their marriages because each side doesn't know about the other's culture, traditions and religion.- and they desperately ask for help with their translations on a well-known web site, www.turkishclass.com. (my contribution to the text.  )
I think some other members would like to translate other interesting points.

I'm convinced that other factors play a major role here. I have seen many typical european female tourists who meet up with someone random, are intrigued by good looks, charm and a tan and they go head over heels in the relationship and marry them. The men, of course, can ensure a better future in a foreign country. I agree that they often don't consider eachothers respective cultures and values, but I think in most of the cases rushed marriages (where they don't know eachother well) ruin any chance they may have had to work it out. As far as I'm aware of, only few latin tourists come to Turkey and I don't think they explore and seek out a romantic holiday as many europeans do. It seems to me that some europeans come to Turkey intentionally seeking out love, or should I say "love".
