Was her  powerful speech also  televised in Turkey? I wonder?

Re: snobs I have been exposed to snobbery in France, Spain, Britain, Germany and some Arab countries included

People in New York who are snobs sometimes hire French people as nannies for their children because French people have more culture and are prettier and have more money.

Britturk,

thanks for sharing your delightful "Turkish experience" with us! A true example of Turkish hospitality.

Unfortunately such caring and hospitality as described in this article  is  unheard of in Germany.

Many statesmen believe in that the states have no friends, but interests. That’s why the number of states which have ‘special relations’ is few. US-UK relations or US-Israel relations are exceptional. Even in these examples we see that the national interests are more important than the emotional dimension. In this framework Turkish-Pakistani relations have always been special. In spite of the geographical distance and the clear economic and social differences between two countries, Turks have always loved the Pakistanis. Although the Pakistanis are not Turkish origin people, they have always been called ‘brothers’ in Turkey. Brotherhood between these two countries was something emerged before the family ties between the Turkish Republics and Turkey to be bounded.
