What I think is with another government we have to finish these PKK terrorists, by very effective operations. Or, we will always live with a fear of a possible attack.

I'm so sad about this.
Divide and conquer is a very old tactic...It was used by Philip (Alexander's father). This is horrible. 
I've never seen a nation of people so polite and friendly with each other. This has to stop.
Who knows who it is really? All that is known is that some group has bad intentions for Turkey and is killing and terrorizing Turks. Turks must be untied as a nation.

As horrible as this event is, it should spark more thoughtful reflections, especially from those who live in Turkey and truly have a stake at ending this.

Quoting yilgun-7: This is life. |
I am happy that your mother is well but I can't agree with your comment that "this is life". It's not life...it's terrorism!
Do we all just sit back and say “that’s life†or “it’s always been this way†or whatever else we tell each other to try to make ourselves feel better when these kinds of incidents occur? I’m sorry, but I think that is just wrong and tragic. I certainly am not saying I have any answers but accepting that this is just how it is? I just can’t do it.

The persons who did this will get what they want, I'm afraid: a Turkey in isolation without tourists (meaning money!). I already heard several people in the Netherlands who have changed their minds, they will not spend their summer holiday in Turkey but they'll go to Greece and Portugal instead.

Well not even something like this would stop me from going to Turkey either way, because my husband is out there right now visiting his mother and if I had to and could, I would have gone there now to be with him.
We live in a world of unknown and of what we don't know can happen today, tomorrow or the next day. We should not let even terrorists make us all live in fear either.
My own city was hurt on that infamous day of SEPT. 11, 2001
We all cried that day, I would have been a part of that if I had taken a job there before it happened, but something else keep me from going there.
Only GOD knows when your time will come.

Yes, Ive heard the same too. First, it mainly happened in the east, but throughout this year, attacks have occurred in the utmost modern cities of the country, İstanbul, Ankara and İzmir. It comes closer to the tourist areas and keeps the people away.
I myself have become a bit frightened too. They are building new apartment blocks around here, and once they dropped something heavy from the roof. I jumped off my chair and felt chilly all night as I had linked this sound with a terroristic attack.

Yes, I'm afraid that many people will feel this way. Acting on anger (which is a very valid feeling at the moment though) won't help Turkey. Unfortunately, I don't see any reasonable solutions coming out. You have to look at the roots of the problems instead of behaving the same way that you hate in those people - which is by violence.
