The difference is... it doesnt represent Türkiye !
People in Türkiye spreading through the country, they dont just live in Ãzmir, Ãstanbul, Ankara and Antalya
So if i made a survay concerning only those, i cant say it represent the whole country.
It looks like a Professor from a very good university (Boðaziçi University) has done the survey and she says "it represents Turkiye".
But you dont think its represents Turkiye?
So you know better than the professor? Are you an expert in surveys?

If it only was done in these (and other) big cities, it would give an idea of how the people in West-Turkey think. If Eastern villages - called backwards by Western Turks themselves!!!, not by me, I love it there - were included, I think the figures would be even worse. City people are mostly more modern and open-minded than village people (you said so months ago about Egypt).
Well, yes its almost same every where
But...still i may not agree with you
Ãts true they are some how backwards, or so its said by city people, but when it comes to traditions or so, i believe they are better than city people
Take an example
You can live in the city and you may not know your neighbour, or you could just exchange greetings, its not same at villages.
So i also believe in villages, it would be more friendly between different religions than in cities.
Here ´Egypt´ at city, you may find a Christian landlord who refuse to rent the apartment to someone just because he is Muslim.

I don´t know why some people consider this survey sooo insulting!? I think that it´s pretty obvious that there is a lot of intolerance in Turkey. Whether you call it this or that... what´s the difference. It´s Turkish people that are the biggest victims of this, denying this problem seems to be fascistic towards groups of people in your own country. Do you care about them less then about the vain and empty country pride? If you care about your own people, speak up against the intolerance within your country!

That ´s as maybe, it is not a very representative sample...........

I´ve never been a great fan of surveys and statistics - remember, when you go for a walk with your dog, statistically, you both have 3 legs
Now, about this survey, there´s more than one way of looking at it. Firstly, there is a huge gap between what people think and what they do, i.e. if somebody asks you whether you´d rather have drinking or non-drinking neighbours, most of us would go with the latter. However, if we had neighbours who occassionally drink, we wouldn´t mind it, would we?
It is normal that people tend to surround with people similar to themselves, hence asked what neighbourhood they´d ideally live in, they provide answers about the ideal state of affairs.
