Allright, so we need another one of these to reduce gas imports for electricity purposes in almost it's entirety (in theory at least). Maybe another one would be needed if you consider the annual growth of Turkey's power demands and to reduce coal imports. Other than that, they should just...

Sultan Abdul Hamid Han was ousted from power in 1909 by the Young Turks which was a nationalistic movement. This event was basically the start of the end for the Ottoman empire. Bad decision making, as well as the rise of nationalism throughout the Ottoman area's. Bad decision for instance was...

Guys I have a question, if the Akkuyu site gets built and becomes operational. How much electricity will it produce in a year? How much percent would that be of the total of the 2012 numbers which is 57.072 MW (posted on page 1)? I remember reading the yearly potential, but I can't remember...

I mis-read the barrel life (or maybe just mis-interpreted). Is it safe to assume that 7.62 barrels have less life than 5.56 barrels? How does the barrel life of HK417 compare to that of HK416's 30.000?

Bro, the link is in the post you quoted. At the bottom of the post, it's small though, so it is easy to miss.

You think it's impossible? Like technically I mean? Do you know what the life of other newly designed rifles are? Is it also safe to assume that barrels for 7.62 will have less life than 5.56 cartridges, because of the heat production of larger cartridges?

I am not sure if what you are suggesting would actually work. In Holland for instance, the political level is pretty high and usually use solid arguments during debates. But even in a country like Holland you could discuss about the efficiency about a coalition government. What AKP suggests to...

You are saying it would be contradicting myself if I wouldn't want a change in the name of the country and the flag as well. This is kinda looking at the situation in a black & white manner don't you think? There is also a huge gray area to consider. It's proposed to change the law from Turk...

The crescent and star have been used throughout humanity's history. But when Islamic peoples started to use it, it symbolized Islam. The color green for instance can represent Islam as well. It's not the point of who started it or not, but more about what the thought process was during the...

I see that coalition governments can work in other countries like you mentioned (it works in Holland as well by the way), but even about those countries you can argue about it's efficiency. But Turkey is different though. Our politicians can't get along with each other, all they do is...

I never said, 'destroy the term Turk' either. I was talking about the law in the constitution. The laws need to be politically correct. And Turk milleti, simply isn't politically correct. Not everyone in Turkey can identify themselves with 'Turk milleti', but the law does refer to everyone in...

I think you and me are looking at this federalism talk from different perspectives. You seem to think that federal state is something that is being done to solve the Kurdish problem. Or maybe even think that PKK and/or BDP are demanding such a change. I don't get this impression personally...

From what I have heard. The crescent represents Islam, while the star with 5 points represents the 5 pillars of Islam. You can see the crescent on many mosque's and minarets. Some mosque's have the crescent with the star as well. Ottomans also used another flag with 3 crescents, the 3 moons...

Nice quote by the way. Conscription? Who said anything about that? Wow man, you truly are all over the place. You always seem to come up with irrelevant stuff in your posts. Why you got to revert to insults by the way? It just makes you look insecure about yourself and that you can't carry a...

@Baykuş Nice read. The part about federal though. You are comparing it to the autonomous region in Iraq. The autonomous region in Iraq has way more rights as well, with their own armed forces etc. I think I read something about that the Kurdish government has the right to to sell 12% of...

Sorry Axa-, but a mod isn't here to serve 'Turkish interests', it's here to serve the forums interests. From what I have seen, Deno is a fair mod and I really don't see the need for a new one. Not sure why you want a new mod, but did something happen between you and Deno behind the scenes?

Your own life, not the lives of others. And if you drag on a war, or wish for war, then you are risking the lives of others in the process. Which isn't honorable at all, it would just be evil. The rest of your post has no substance, so I'm not gonna reply to those.

Fine, you hate peace and prosperity. You love going to war, I guess human life means nothing to you. How can someone have value for justice and honor, if they don't even value human life? Look at the source: "Osmanlı arşivlerinde 5 bine yakın belgeyi inceleyen...". In other...

That's revenge talk right there. You are right about justice however, but I'm willing to sacrifice them walking for peace. Like I said before, I don't think it's about winning or losing, but about peace and saving countless lives in the process. And I knew you would react like this, which I...

I love my country, culture etc. I live in Holland, but I make sure I don't do anything stupid, so others here wont say 'wow, this is how Turks are'. I know I represent my country, religion etc. in my every day life, and I am careful I don't represent it in a bad way. Even when I write on the...
