Do you see Turkey as a 3rd world country?

[Vivaldi]

I am from Turkey and I see Turkey as a 3rd world country.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I don't have a clear idea about what Turkey really is, as a country. I'm just aware of its repeated and unsuccessful attempts to join EU. I had a conversation with just two Turkish people in my whole existence, sooo

Inconclusive?

"Turkey has been called an emerging power, a middle power, and a regional power."I'll just go with this inromation.

[Vivaldi]

A lot of violence, murders are happening.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Which can be said of any country in the world, except... Iceland
But they are cheating because their population is ridiculously small

[molonski2]

Its very much 3rd world , but a great place to visit , and some very nice women , as long as they dont get fat , eating that sht.

[Vivaldi]

What is that shit?

[molonski2]

Far too many processed carbohydrates.

Renault 12 was produced until 2000 in Turkey

That alone proves it, doesn't it?

In France, it was produced until 1980

[Vivaldi]

Another thing is,

When UK, Germany and France started color TV Broadcasting, Turkey hadn't even started black and white TV Broadcasting yet

[molonski2]

All good points , just watch your diet.

[MissTrix]

Very much so it's ruining looking for a turkey dress for my little sister!

[Vivaldi]

What do you mean by turkey dress?

[Vivaldi]

Did you mean the bird turkey?

[MissTrix]

Thanksgiving day dress
Yes a cute turkey dress it's just all traditional dresses

[Vivaldi]

I was talking about the country Turkey

[MissTrix]

It's that countries dumb dresses! We don't want to see Thier ugly dresses we can't a cute holiday dress!

[Vivaldi]

The bird Turkey and country Turkey dont have anything to do with each other.

People don't even eat Turkey here, let alone dress.

I've been to Turkey and it's half in half. The coastal regions are very modern and developed and feel first world, but the further you move inland, especially towards the east, the more third world it feels.

Yes, a poor people country. Erdogan is kind of bum he steals all his people's money. The women are better than in Western countries, but still, it's not worth it to move there.

[Vivaldi]

Erdogan is chosen by the people who live in Turkey

[Opinion Owner]

Then why do I always hear people from Turkey complaining about him? To be fair, I mostly hear women from Turkey complaining about him. Is he bad or no?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Is Erdoğan bad or no?
Well, depends how much one likes these two paragraphs below.

"As a personified version of conservative democracy, key ideals of Erdoğanism include a religious inspired strong centralised leadership based primarily on electoral consent and less so on the separation of powers and institutional checks and balances. Critics have often referred to Erdoğan's political outlook as authoritarian and as an elective dictatorship"

Erdoğanism is also strongly influenced by the desire to establish a 'New Turkey', departing from the founding Kemalist principles of the Turkish Republic and abolishing key enshrined constitutional ideals that are at odds with Erdoğan's vision, such as secularism. Supporters of Erdoğanism often call for a revival of cultural and traditional values from the Ottoman Empire and are critical of the pro-western social reforms and modernisation initiated by the founder of the Turkish Republic [...]

@Maybe_Maybe_not Alright I see why I only hear Turkish women complaining about him. He doesn't want feminists from western cultures to corrupt. I mean I never lived there I might go there for a while to see how it is before I judge him.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Since his policies are clearly on the traditionalist side of things, it's highly likely you'll have a better time there as a man than as a woman. As per tradition.

[Opinion Owner]

@Maybe_Maybe_not Are the women nice or are they kind of the same as in the western countries?

[Vivaldi]

@Maybe_Maybe_not

Turkey is a muslim country and Erdoğan is a muslim.

[Vivaldi]

When Turkish money lost value and dollars got higher in the country,

He said "if they have dollars, we have Allah"

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Are Turkish women nice?
Well, nice women are women who feel safe in a safe environment, that's the condition to be nice lol. Such condition is probably not met anywhere on earth so... I would not expect them to be nice, by default

[Agape93]

Yeap
