Alright guys here is my opinion: some people wrote here coz they believe they belong to europe or coz of their education level and some people believe they are from central asia coz of feeling natinoanlist (not in bad way) here is my thoughts...
Which part of turkey we atlk about? if we talk about western turkey (marmara / eagean / mediterrenean / black sea) yes these areas are much like europeans.. if we talk about Central anatolia, East and South East, those are completely the other part of the country. People living there feel they are more close to Arab countries .
I know that turks have confussion about what they really are. It s also coz of the political envirenmont. When Turks see USA and EU countries like Austria, France, Denmark,etc.. oppose to Turkey they also help those countries to go far from West. When they feel a warm welcome from those countries Turks see Arab n islam world as another world n the place they hate to be in. But some politic groups (10 % feel they belong to Arab world coz of the religion - 15 % thy belong to central asia coz of the roots ) It s also a question of every Turks. My opinion is Turkey is half European half Asian. But it s also very different than some Asian countries (like Japan HK) People in Turkey are now in change. But not in good way. Being European is not only being Nasty or horny. Is it? I agree Turkey looses its roots from the past and also from the neighbours. Look people in some Arab countries adore Turkey but people in Europe .. they caught up in history.. This hurts Turks. Like you are so eager to be member of a society but not accepted being there. Or they say "ok be member but outside, just do what we need from you.. so you are member" Forget Europe guys.. Enjoy every piece of your land. Europe is getting old n they behave Turkey in bad way just coz they are old now )))))
