Proud and patriotic TURKISH PEOPLE. Here is something that you should know: killing kurdish, greek, armenians and taking their lands by force and then playing innocent does not make you a proud nation. Your culture is a mixed of all the people stolen as slaves or harems by Ottoman Empire from all over the world. You will be surprised to find out that your ancestors are part of the people who suffered under the Ottoman Empire. If you have the guts, go ahead and do a DNA test. You may hate the Greeks, Kurdish, Jewish etc people and you may be one yourself.

Any honest story on that atrocious regime can be said to be "one sided". There are no acceptable justifications for it to be the way it is and hearing their excuses would add nothing of value.
Maybe Erdogan is a tyrant maybe he's protecting Turkiye. But what is clear, foreign power tried to destabilized Turkiye with coup, and Turkish people unite to protect their country. Even now with attempt to destabilized their economy, Turkiye still stand strong. My respect to all Turkish people.

The coup was a theatre. Turkey is an apartheid dictatorship killing people, especially Kurds. They also love to stick their noses in other's business. Just look at what they are doing in Syria in cooperation with the Islamists against the Kurds. Turkey is leeching on Europe and NATO by killing innocent people and using refugees as pawns in their dirty game. I really hope that Turkey gets weakened to such a degree that the country will be split in pieces.
This reminds me of the horror stories in Malaysia in the last days of former PM Najib's administration before he was overthrown...it was a very racist, deceitful and scary time.

Being independent = not being interfered = others can't even criticize the handling of domestic policy. That's your narrative, and it leads to the birth of modern authoritarianism.

Although Erdogan has his faults, he has good things to do. I am sure that our country would have suffered a serious disaster had it not been for Erdogan right now. I can't forget the night of July 15th. My relative lay in front of the tank to stop the tank on 15 July and unfortunately was seriously injured. As a nation, we do our best for the security of our country. Turks are proud people. and patriotic. It has provided all kinds of opportunities to people who are victims of war, refugees, who cause unrest in our country, and even those who receive a salary every month. Only Syrians received 90 billion dollars in aid. People have run out of patience because Erdogan pretended to insult the Turkish people.
Proud and patriotic for killing kurdish, greek, armenians and taking their lands by force and then playing innocent. I really do not want to be one of these proud people who do not have a proper DNA.

I am interested to know Turkish side of the story. Of course other media outside Turkiye reports unfavorable news about Erdogan, but the fact is the coup is a crime that need to be punished.
Erdogan is an autocrat, face it. He has not granted 90 billion dollars in aid to Syrians... In fact he uses refugees as a political weapon. There would be no attempted coupe without Erdogan in power and thanking him for (very meager) salaries existing is some next level coping.
Yet you keep killing Kurds and other people without hesitation. We are the ones running out of patience not you. You guys are not the victims here. You voted for this, be it AKP, MHP, CHP or iyi. Regarding "opportunities" that you speak of, on the contrary, Turkey has acted as a transit hub for ISIS just to crack down on Kurds in Rojava, as to kill any sort of ambitions for a state/self governance. This combined with the invasions of Efrin and Tell Tamir have contributed to hundreds of thousands becoming refugees overnight.
All of you criticizing Erdoğan, have no idea what so ever of Türkiye geo political situation. For the first time in a very long time, we actually have a leader that puts the interests of our country and people first. For many years like most of the rest of the world (and today the European union) all these countries have leaders that are puppets for USA and only serve USA interests. Any time a country democratically elected a leader that genuinely served there nation and people, and started becoming too powerful for USA liking or didn't obey what USA demanded of that country, america would create a coup and install their own leaders. Now, all these journalists, judges who Erdoğan locked up, were serving USA, creating fake news, undermining Turkish democracy and were all members of either PKK, FETO, MOSSAD and/or on the payroll of CIA (which FETO and PKK are anyway). There are many traitors in Türkiye that wish to sabotage our democracy, take our country back 20 years and again make us a slave to the USA. Just look at 2016 failed coup attempt. As a Türk, I love Erdoğan. He loves our country and our people and all the oppressed people of the world, ask all the poorer countries what they think of Erdoğan, ask Libyans, Pakistanis, Bangladesh, Somalia etc etc... We helped these countries and we didn't go in there like China, or USA or Russia does and exploit them for $$$$.... That's why all the oppressed people of the world love Erdoğan and Türkiye ❤️🇹🇷

And since Europe dose not want turkey , the United States does not want turkey and Russia is at war so the only wise thing is to do is go back to your ottoman roots and start business and politics with other middle eastern countries

True
Proud and patriotic TURKISH PEOPLE. Here is something that you should know: killing kurdish, greek, armenians and taking their lands by force and then playing innocent does not make you a proud nation. Your culture is a mixed of all the people stolen as slaves or harems by Ottoman Empire from all over the world. You will be surprised to find out that your ancestors are part of the people who suffered under the Ottoman Empire. If you have the guts, go ahead and do a DNA test. You may hate the Greeks, Kurdish, Jewish etc people and you may be one yourself.
Yes on Instagram many Turks look like Europeans
The worst thing is that most of them still have the same ideology and want more, dream about Pan-turkism. They want power, want to become superpower owing to their diplomacy and geopolitical importance and are ready to do more genocides to achieve their goals
@@Mmttttttttt it’s okay that a turk dreams about Great Turkey and an armenian dreams about Great Armenia. The question is what are we ready to do for it.
It’s like It’s okay that everyone wants to be rich but not everyone is ready to kill or rob someone for becoming rich.
I mean I don’t think that there will be one day when all countries will be satisfied and won’t want to be greater. So there will always be competition. We just have to do everything so that competitions don’t turn into bloody wars. Wars are nonsense.

And if you ‘do’ want to punish people for whistleblowing then ya can’t really blame Erdogan for what he’s doing right?
Why do you complain? Germany has been subservient to Turkey for over one century now.
Just look at how Germany has treated the Greek people, especially vis a vis their Turkish tormentors.
There is an excellent little book titled "How Germany destroyed the Hellenism of Turkey" by Michael Rodas.

The coup was a theatre. Turkey is an apartheid dictatorship killing people, especially Kurds. They also love to stick their noses in other's business. Just look at what they are doing in Syria in cooperation with the Islamists against the Kurds.
Turkey is leeching on Europe and NATO by killing innocent people and using refugees as pawns in their dirty game. I really hope that Turkey gets weakened to such a degree that the country will be split in pieces.
This reminds me of the horror stories in Malaysia in the last days of former PM Najib's administration before he was overthrown...it was a very racist, deceitful and scary time.

- Is it a coincidence they are all Kurds? and if they were good citizens, why do they introduce themselves as Kurd-German? most of Turks regardless their political background are anti PKK and anti dividing Turkey, you should fight Turks for this, Media will never help you, if you want to advocate for Kurds, go see their conditions in Syria & Iran, the happiest Kurds are in Turkey, even Iraqi Kurds wish to be like Turkey, go see most of construction companies and materials are Turkish in Northern Iraq (Kurdish region)
- Regardless my disagreement with Erdogan on many topics, I believe the very same people who support those journalists were actually supporting army when they arrested Erdogan in a military trial for reciting poems and shut down his political party headquarters before Saadet came to power, and if Erdogan is in power, then vote and remove him!!
- DW is losing more audience, used to think it is unbiased, now I know, any Topic discusses Turkey, BIASED for sure, practice freedom ethically. Ethics matter.
I feel sorry for the "Germans" held against their will.

Although Erdogan has his faults, he has good things to do. I am sure that our country would have suffered a serious disaster had it not been for Erdogan right now. I can't forget the night of July 15th. My relative lay in front of the tank to stop the tank on 15 July and unfortunately was seriously injured. As a nation, we do our best for the security of our country. Turks are proud people. and patriotic. It has provided all kinds of opportunities to people who are victims of war, refugees, who cause unrest in our country, and even those who receive a salary every month. Only Syrians received 90 billion dollars in aid. People have run out of patience because Erdogan pretended to insult the Turkish people.
Proud and patriotic for killing kurdish, greek, armenians and taking their lands by force and then playing innocent. I really do not want to be one of these proud people who do not have a proper DNA. Your culture is a mixed of all the people stolen as slaves or harems by Ottoman Empire. You will be surprise to find out your ancestors are part of the people who suffered under the Ottoman Empire. If you have the guts, go ahead and do a DNA test.
I am interested to know Turkish side of the story. Of course other media outside Turkiye reports unfavorable news about Erdogan, but the fact is the coup is a crime that need to be punished.
Erdogan is an autocrat, face it. He has not granted 90 billion dollars in aid to Syrians... In fact he uses refugees as a political weapon. There would be no attempted coupe without Erdogan in power and thanking him for (very meager) salaries existing is some next level coping.
Yet you keep killing Kurds and other people without hesitation. We are the ones running out of patience not you. You guys are not the victims here. You voted for this, be it AKP, MHP, CHP or iyi.
Regarding "opportunities" that you speak of, on the contrary, Turkey has acted as a transit hub for ISIS just to crack down on Kurds in Rojava, as to kill any sort of ambitions for a state/self governance. This combined with the invasions of Efrin and Tell Tamir have contributed to hundreds of thousands becoming refugees overnight.
He jails kids for saying bad things about him
exile in the united states?? AHAHAHAH can i be exiled then? LOL
All of you criticizing Erdoğan, have no idea what so ever of Türkiye geo political situation.
For the first time in a very long time, we actually have a leader that puts the interests of our country and people first.
For many years like most of the rest of the world (and today the European union) all these countries have leaders that are puppets for USA and only serve USA interests. Any time a country democratically elected a leader that genuinely served there nation and people, and started becoming too powerful for USA liking or didn't obey what USA demanded of that country, america would create a coup and install their own leaders.
Now, all these journalists, judges who Erdoğan locked up, were serving USA, creating fake news, undermining Turkish democracy and were all members of either PKK, FETO, MOSSAD and/or on the payroll of CIA (which FETO and PKK are anyway). There are many traitors in Türkiye that wish to sabotage our democracy, take our country back 20 years and again make us a slave to the USA.
Just look at 2016 failed coup attempt.
As a Türk, I love Erdoğan. He loves our country and our people and all the oppressed people of the world, ask all the poorer countries what they think of Erdoğan, ask Libyans, Pakistanis, Bangladesh, Somalia etc etc... We helped these countries and we didn't go in there like China, or USA or Russia does and exploit them for $$$$....
That's why all the oppressed people of the world love Erdoğan and Türkiye ❤️🇹🇷
