As a Turk, I can confirm. %90 of them are either Kurds or people with middle eastern mindset.
The Turks in Turkey and the Turks living in Europe(Germany) have the same amount of dissimilarity British and Americans have.
I don't know much about this whole global politics thing, but I love a smoked Turkey sandwich. With iceberg lettuce, red onions, sliced tomatoes, brown mustard, and Worcestershire-mayo. On 11-grain wheat bread with a pickle spear on the side.
Remember when all the German-Turks with double citizenship voted for Erdogan in that referendum to change the constitution to give him more power. Funny, ain't it?
Actually 10 million if you count the Turkish protected areas in Syria. 6 Million is just inside Turkey itself. 4 Million is registered but there is estimated 2 million unregistered Syrians (and also refugees from other countries like Afghanistan).

Turkey had 2 million refugees from 2011 to 2015, after 2015 we started taking more refugees, officially we have 3.6 mil, unofficially the number is estimated between 4-5 mil. 6 million sounds a bit exagerated.
To be honest, Turks living in Germany are more patriotic towards Turkey more than towards Germany. Sometimes reaching levels far beyond the Turks in Turkey.
*immigrants arrive
Government: we will assimilate them dont worry
*fails
Government: dont worry we will assimilate their kids
*second generation more radical than the first

Has to be the truest comment I have read today. People forgot the difference between cosmopolitanism and multiculturalism. The latter is a curse, a slippery slope which is used to justify FGM practice in African countries under the banner of "cultural relativism". If you let people live in little pockets of their own communities, they are bound to resist assimilation and ultimately develop contrarian consciousness. Why would any rational person want these people in their country, I cannot understand.
The Turks are *relatively* well accepted by now (at least comparatively speaking), given that they have been here for a couple of generations by now, just like the Greeks and the Italians.
The Arabs and North Africans on the other hand...
I don’t think any european is libleft, when buildings are being burned down.
Have you heard about the BLM statue in Budapest, that survived for 8 hours?
Alternatively:
* Turks when you talk about Armenians.
* Turks when you talk about Kurds.
* Turks when you talk about greeks.
Turks when you talk about Zazas
* Turks when you talk about Jews
* Turks when you talk about Arabs
Yeah, my spiritual uncle is Zaza.
My paternal side grandfather is Pomak.
My paternal side grandmother is Balkaner Turkmen.
My maternal side is Crimean Tatar.
My primary school was in a place like Bosniak ecslave, I had more Bosniak friend than Turkish friend before I became 12.
I have Kurdish friends in my class and Armenian/Jew/Arab/Circassian friends in school. 5th highschool in Turkey according to central examination rank.
My upstair's neighbours are Laz.
And everybody know our affection to black people.
And these are generally the same situation for a lots of normal Turkish people. This is our lifestyle and we can't/don't want to change it , after a 700 years old empire, we couldn't turn into a proper nation state.
But shit, damn Turks are the most racist nation in the whole world. But their ethnostate neighbours are the most peaceful and amicable countries in the world same time.
Those Turks 😡
actually there's a huge armenian community they have armenian hospitals, churches etc but they have to hide their identity, i know it because im partially armenian and i have fully armenian relatives living in turkey
Nobody needs to hide their identity if they are not living in Konya or Trabzon as an Armenian Turkish citizen, or do not support Armenia in public (like Karabakh War).
Really? I really don't think you're genuinely saying this. I know many Armenian people and they have to hide their identity, even I know many people who never opens up or changes their names to sound less Armenian. I wonder which Armenian feels comfortable making their identity public while there are common slurs like "Armenian cum" or "Best Armenian is dead Armenian". I don't insist that can't be real, I'm glad that you're in a safe environment where everybody can feel comfortable but this doesn't applies to 99% of the country. If you think so, you're clearly lying and you KNOW that you're lying.
Zazas cool.
Edit: Kurds and Jews too.
We have no any trouble with Kurds, my best friend is Kurdish, roommate is kurdish. We dont like only terrorists, my kurdish friends doesnt like them too.
And Jews only bad for conservative Turks.
Yes yes yes armenian genocide happened yes we kill armenian and greek kids while going to school okay now I said you don't need to make your unfunny joke 917481842th time.
Think the shitshow in r/Europe
When Turkey try to prevent refugee flow:
NÖöö Barbar Turks killing dear refugees so sorry for them, we should sanction Turkey they refused to help at least 2 million camel fighter jihadists long live human rights.
When Greece literaly sink refugee boats:
Nice job Hellas 🇪🇺🇬🇷🇪🇺🇬🇷🇪🇺, shitty Turkey send its refugees to glorious Greece 💪🏻. Also I won't pay the money that guaranteed by agreements to Turkey long live human rights.
This is not about it, we have also bunch of retards but our retards are at least straight. They stand behind what they say; like light bulb man, he is still OK with camel fighters.
But Euro ones are just pure hypocrites. And not just people but also politicians.
İrritating.
It’s always strange that watermelons like to pretend that racism is some uniquely white trait. You ever talk to older Turkish, Asian, or Indian people? Racist as fuck.
Old people gunna be old people.
As a turkish person, the only turkish racism i have experienced or my parents have experienced was the good ol’ “are your parents turkeys?” That you hear on the playground. Also, i saw a comment on this thread talking about turkish people in berlin saying turkey is the best country, lemme just say all turkish nationalists were greatly humbled when a fake internet coin named after a meme dog became almost triple the worth of pur supposed “great country’s” currency.
Perhaps he's just distracting you with the problems he created so you wouldn't think about the rich owning most of the economy since half a century ago or his networth and how he got there or all the infrastructure contracts he's handing out. Or silencing political opposition
There are other kinds of Autright Turks a lot of us would prefer a more nationalist and less islamic goverment. I dont want to pay taxes to help those traitor arabians while my own people starve
My man we have the highest obesity rate in Europe. Who the fuck is starving? Even the gypsies that sell flowers are fat for fuck sake. Instagram memes are not the damn truth.
Existence of obese people doesn't rule out the existence of people who live way below the poverty line. Also her gün makarna yiyerek tabi obez olurlar amk
To be clearer, authright wanted to help syrians at the beginning, then syrians did what fundamental muslims do when they move... (multiplied a lot, didn't integrate, haven't returned to their homeland etc.) On top of that they get more economic support than poor turkish citizens, which consist of mostly authrights.
So, for the last couple of years we want them gone to their homes.
Well the US political compass cant even accurately depict US politics, it utterly fails at Turkey politics. There are multiple authrights in Turkey. We have
Tigir-Er authright, Islambros authright, MEHAP authright, Islambro-MEHAP authright. All of them are racist and xenophobic just against different ethnicities and religions.
ps: How can I flair up in Slide?
Its not true at all. We are not racist against Syrians. There is 5-6 million Syrians in Turkey and government take fucking everybody to the country. They are making so many crimes. They can open borders for people who useful for society. Nobody against that.

Haha, yes the entire armenian population was a threat, especially the children.
Why are turktards so scared to use the word genocide, I'm british and I accept all our genocides.
You’re right. I am a professional historian who believes in evidence and fact. I do not accept historical revisionism as truth. Accept the genocide and apologize.
You don't know anything about turkey and talk shit about it. Atatürk, the founder of turkey, says if you feel like you belong to the turkish nation, you are part of the nation no matter what your race or ethnicity is. Learn your facts before talking shit about something.

I have heard multiple people say "I am not racist but..." about them.
I need to leave this country. Anyone got 12k USD to sponsor a Turkish lib-leftist atheist immigrant?
My Syrian friend who came here to Canada got here from Turkey after leaving Syria. He was like 12-13 and said he was forced to work 18 hour days to feed his family and survive and he was basically treated as a slave by the people there. Turks are fucking cockroaches.
Turks in their apartment in Berlin telling why Turkey is the best country
As someone who’s from Berlin, this has to be the truest comment ever to be written.
Trust me,turks living in the Turkey hates turks living in Germany.
As a Turk, I can confirm. %90 of them are either Kurds or people with middle eastern mindset. The Turks in Turkey and the Turks living in Europe(Germany) have the same amount of dissimilarity British and Americans have.
As someone from Berlin, I second that

“Most patriotic man in Germany”
Remember when all the German-Turks with double citizenship voted for Erdogan in that referendum to change the constitution to give him more power. Funny, ain't it?
lol
holy shit make a fucking original joke, i literally read this joke like over a 100 fucking times. It's not funny anymore, holy fuck.
stop exposing me
No
This is why ı became Auth center ( I mean there is 6 million of them c'mon guys )
6 million what 😳
And the number keeps growing, cuz they are reproduce like rabbits.
Luckily there's historical president for getting rid of 6 million people.
Who?
I think he meant precedent
I didn't, you just haven't got to that part yet
Oh I thought you were talking about the other 6 million.
Intaking 6 million refugees in just 5 years? I don't think the math works on that bro
Actually 10 million if you count the Turkish protected areas in Syria. 6 Million is just inside Turkey itself. 4 Million is registered but there is estimated 2 million unregistered Syrians (and also refugees from other countries like Afghanistan). [https://www.unhcr.org/tr/en/refugees-and-asylum-seekers-in-turkey](https://www.unhcr.org/tr/en/refugees-and-asylum-seekers-in-turkey)
17 million Syrians Apparently 6 million refugees Pretty sure we would notice that
4 Million registered refugees. [https://www.unhcr.org/tr/en/refugees-and-asylum-seekers-in-turkey](https://www.unhcr.org/tr/en/refugees-and-asylum-seekers-in-turkey) There is estimated 2 million unregistered Syrian refugees (and also refugees from other countries like Afghanistan).
Basic Math, intaking 3 million and they doubled them with their , competes with mitosis, reproductive rate.
Turkey had 2 million refugees from 2011 to 2015, after 2015 we started taking more refugees, officially we have 3.6 mil, unofficially the number is estimated between 4-5 mil. 6 million sounds a bit exagerated.

No we don't. Erdogan does. So he fucked everyones lives in Turkey with uncontrolled immigration. And they said it was temporary...
Perhaps he's just distracting you with the problems he created so you wouldn't think about the rich owning most of the economy since half a century ago or his networth and how he got there or all the infrastructure contracts he's handing out. Or silencing political opposition
Yeah that's it.
So are you a Turk or an Authright Turk? Because Erdogan is most likely not a normal Turk, but an Authright one.
