Great Words Metro. Well done.
A lot of the issues that Turkey is facing right now can easily been seen in just about every other country. Turkish people as a whole are some of the most hospitable people I have ever meet.
If I were to judge the Russian's, Germans, and other countries on some of the principles that a lot of you people claim it would be worse.
There are numerous ethnic groups that some might consider a disease within the states and I've yet to take they're display as a representation of the whole country. How fair would that be ?
At one point or another each country has had they're fair share of injustice, inhumanity, and backward practices. I mean come on. The Dutch STARTED THE SLAVE TRADE. You have really now platform to judge these things.
Albeit, Turkey is sadly controlled by a lot of bad presence within the government(religion mostly) but the country and it's people have a lot to offer to the world. We're talking about the supposed "cradle of civilization" here. The land alone has a 50,000yr old History. The economic benefits that the country propose alone is worth it.
They've been trying hard and making huge improvements in such a short time. YES there is still ways to go. But they're not doing bad for an 80 yr old country.
Read the New York Times. Turkey is one of the top 10 destinations in Europe. Tourism increases by 400% every year. It's not just b/c it's cheap. You don't see people flocking to Mexico just b/c you can get a cheap beer and hotel.
Turkey is a wonderful country filled with a beautiful land, history, culture, diversity, beaches, and HOTTTT topless women.
