Huh, a test for geography knowledge? But if it will make you happy:

Greece, Bulgaria, Armenia, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Georgia...

Hope it works for you, and answers the question in your mind !

Quoting stumpy

The americans barely knows that the country north of them is called Canada.  They do not learn it in school, their maps has the USA shown and where Canada should be there is a big white spot.

I should know, when I went to the states people would ask where I was from and when I would say Canada they would say "where is that, is it near Europe"

There was even an interview done on the streets of New York and mind you New York is very close to Canada and people either did not know where Canada was or though we lived in igloos and rode sleds pulled by dogs.

So it is not an exageration, like I said sorry to burst your bubble

 

 

But this does not change the fact of that EU and US have a special page for Türkiye on their foreign policy!

thanks.

Quoting stumpy

Hate to burst your bubble but the average american citizen does not care about Turkey, heck they don´t even know there is a country called Turkey and if you were to ask them what they think of Turkey they would probably say "that bird is down right tasty with stuffing at thanksgiving".  The only americans that knows anything about Turkey are the poloticians in Washington and the users that are members on this site.

 

How come the citizens of a country that´s foreign policies mingling with Türkiye, do not know about where Türkiye is?

Either this is your exaggeration or American society is much more ignorant then we think!

thanks...

Quoting barba_mama

I think some Turkish people have an egocentric view, like the whole world cares about what happens in Turkey. Not whole world but US and EU !

Quoting revekah09

"Binlerce kilometre uzaktan, butun samimiyetiyle, butun duruluguyla, dostun sesinden gelen, canin sesinden gelen turkuyu, butun suskunlugunla dinlemektir OZLEMEK"

 

Let´s correct the sentence placing Turkish characters:

Binlerce kilometre uzaktan, bütün samimiyetliyle, bütün duruluğuyla, dostun sesinden gelen, canın sesinden gelen türküyü, bütün suskunluğunla dinlemektir ÖZLEMEK!

 

Tomac, I will try to answer your question:

 

bütün samimiyetiyle, bütün duruluğuyla dostun sesinden gelen, canın sesinden gelen türkü.

 

Comma causes confussion in here. Because when you put comma between "bütün duruluğuyla" and "dostun sesinden gelen", then you mean "bütün duruluğuyla sentence doesn´t qualify the following sentence, it qualifies any other sentence but the next one"

But I see that it doesn´t meet with "dinlemektir" sentence. As "Bütün duruluğuyla" qualifes "türkü" noun, we don´t put comma between them.

 

I hope I could help. If still having confusions, just ask without any hesisations.

 

thanks.

Quoting thehandsom

 

 

 

because i have this feeling that almost all NO voters did not know why they said no.. What a big contradiction is being disturbed of YES-voters to be called "they don´t know what they voted for" and then saying "I have this feeling that almost all NO voters didn´t know what they said NO" !

Huh? What is this? A camera joke?

Party elections and constitutional changes are DIFFERENT things. When %51 of majority votes a ruling-party, %49 of minority has chance to be represented by alternative oppositional parties or coalitions. But in constitutional changes, that minority of %49 does NOT have a chance to be represented by alternative articles. This is what I´m trying to say.

And by the way, what about the people that declare "no-voters" as "coup-supporter, anti-democratic" ? Everybody is same, no difference, so no need to label opposite ideas!

 

thanks.

YES = %57,94

NO = %42,06

 

These rates mean half of the community approves the package and the other half doesn´t. Constitutional changes are required social consensus, because no matter if approve or not, all of the citizens are going to be governed by SAME package. Can you see any consensus here? So how can we talk about the victory of democracy?

The same thing would be valid if YES was %42 and NO was %57. Ruling-parties must find a common way, they can´t serve a package and pull themselves back, saying "this is this, like or not". Unfortunately, both ruling-party and the opposition parties turned it into election and it looked like a vote of confidence for AKP.

Türkiye is a heterogeneous community; secularists, conservatives and other kind of views live together and they have to deal with all of them. It doesn´t mean that this package is democtratic since it is prepared by a conversative ruling-party and voted by a relatively conversative community.

 

thanks.

Some weeks ago I was in Edirne to visit my friend. Because of that city is just nearby the Greek border, almost all of Greek channels could be tunned. I saw Binbir Gece with subtitles and in Turkish on a Greek channel, and furthermore, it was in prime-time hour!!

It was very good to see a Turkish movie serie on a Greek channel, with its original language!
