Thank you komşu. at least someone has their wits about them. people on here saying bat shit insane stuff.

are you fucking insane? Obv I'm concered about the flags because flags are historically representative of what ideology someone supports? if this not clear as day for you westerners? then why ban nazi flags in germany? you are contradicting yourself on so many levels.

​

>“How about we don’t support terrorism of any kind.”

yeah directed at the french government for allowing that shit.

​

if you think you are more right after this you havent had enough bombings in your home town my friend. if you are French, maybe the Paris bombing wasn't enough for you to understand how much of a threat these things pose.

I'm not blinding myself. What I'm saying is grief doesn't naturally result in waving terrorist flags. Do you think that's normal?

Also I never said they are terrorists. But supporting terrorists and wabi f the flags of groups which have murdered civilians should be illegal. Oh and meanwhile, European news such as Euronews and BBC call these terrorists "freedom fighters". If that's not making light of the situation i don't know what is.

Also; i take it that you'll wave some sort of terrorist flag more in line with you beliefs then?

If my mother/brother/sister/father was shot drinking coffee I wouldnt wave an ISIS flag m8. its literally that simple. From your comment I gather that you're 2 steps away from waving an Al Qaeda flag. all it takes is a family members murder.

shot? who said anything about shooting them? I see where your mind is at.

How about we don't support terrorsm in any way shape or form? how does that sound to you?

Oh I'm sorry free speech? try going out in Berlin with a Nazi flag and see what happens to you

look at the protests in Paris. you might not be aware since you weren't hit by the PKK before unlike Turkey, but they are waving PKK flags on the streets of paris and this is allowed for some reason.

> jailing political critics

irrelevant.

​

>threatening all its neighbous with war

only Greece as they are militarizing the islands illegally and are set to extend their territorial waters to 12 miles, a casus belli stated by Turkey in the 1990s. I haven't heard of any other "threats" to Bulgaria, Giorgia, Syria, Iran or Iraq.

​

>blackmailing several european countrys seeking safety

Harboring terrorists isn't what a defence ally does. Also, politics. get used to it or you'll be crying a lot frequantly.

​

>selling advanced NATO weaponry to other war waging countrys

Examples and sources please.

​

>opressing ethnic minorities

irrelevant.

He is literally the mayor of Damascus not president of Syria at this point.

powerless? Kurdish votes WILL determine the result of the next general election. they aren't powerless. They are the most sought out party currently in Turkey and appears to stay as such in the future.

nobody in Turkey says all Kurds are terrorists. We've had this discussion internally on a public level for the past 15 years. What's sad is that European countries still support terrorists even though they recognize the PKK as a terrorist organization.

So I am preparing for the Turkish ministry of foreign affairs exam. im looking for books about European/middle eastern/US-Turkish relations and history.

also anything you'd reccomend that you consider to be essential? the exam is an interview.
