 Well, that´s one way to put it. But he only got that far because because he repressed his kurdish side

 

 Still.. do you have any other example in the world to bring up a president who belongs to a minority group?  I have witnessed people who applie for political assylum - not because they were tortured or anything, just to go and live oveseas.. because otherwise there is no way he can go

 Hehe... Turkey is very open that way. You can become president regardless of your ethnicity as long as you are willing to give it up {#lang_emotions_lol}

Depending on where you are in Turkey will determine your level of care.  If you are going to live in a major city, you can expect similar care to what you are probably used to.  If you are going to move out to the countryside, critical care becomes an issue.  For example, if something were to go wrong with your health or an emergency should arise, some remote towns do not have ambulance service.  (My father in law became very ill in June and was transported by the village bus to the nearest hospital...needless to say that the bus driver was not a medical professional).  This is common in many countries around the world and not just Turkey.  Also, rural hospitals often lack proper equipment and response mechanisms to critical care situations. 

 We will be moving to Istanbul. Thanks for sharing. I hope your father in law is doing better.

AND WE ARE NOT HOSPITABLE....

 

Unidentified assailants on Wednesday killed five police and a civilian driver in an attack in southern province of  Diyarbakýr, hours before the Turkish Parliament approved the extension of the military’s mandate to conduct cross border operations against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, for a year.

The assailants raked a police bus with automatic weapons and hand grenades around 6 p.m. local time killing six and injuring at least 20 people, according to Interior Minister Beþir Atalay.

 Hospitable? {#lang_emotions_unsure} So they are guests then according to you..? And their place of origin would be..? There´s a new twist I haven´t seen before.

Anyway life82 was asking for advice in this thread so let´s not spoil it.
