There are plenty of A-rabs waiting for the Pakistani's. Remember this [below] guy who got wasted was once a hero in Pakistan? Plenty more from where he came.

Ah the early 2000s when this Yank sock puppet was turned from freedom fighter against Ebil Soviets to worlds most wanted man

what car? EV is the future, dude. I am not sure about other countries, but China which is the single biggest market will transformed to EV in next 15 years. EU will more or less the same, but lag behind China a little bit. Japan and Korea will be in the similar pace.

Oil car golden age is past.

This is true China is going full green energy this will hurt oil dependent states like the GCC,Iran and Russia but Russia less so due to somewhat diversified economy and military exports

The transition in China won't really start until mid-century and pretty much everywhere. This is what I meant research. The ME region will have importance for the next 50 years as Oil and gas will be still on the market.

Cars will be running on oil that is just a fact

Erdoğan: Young people cannot read their forefathers’ gravestones

“Our Turkish has been subjected to the biggest word massacre in our history on the way to simplifying the language,” says President and AKP Chair Erdoğan, referring to Turkey’s adoption of the Latin script in 1928 and its aftermath.

İstanbul - BIA News Desk
21 January 2021, Thursday 08:27

President and ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) Chair Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the 2019-2020 Special Awards Ceremony of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism yesterday (January 20).

"I believe that we can protect our culture, identity, history and art as long as we protect our language," said Erdoğan, raising concerns that "Turkish language is not receiving the attention it deserves."

"We do not give the attention deserved to the Turkish language, which is the sign of our national identity and memory," he said.

'Turkish in the hands of executioners'
Erdoğan also referred to the language reform that was undertaken in Turkey after the establishment of the Republic in 1923.

While Turkish had been written in the Arabic script for over a century, the Law on the Adoption and Implementation of the Turkish Alphabet passed the Parliament on November 1, 1928. With this amendment, not only did Turkish start to be written in an adapted version of the Latin script, but there were also attempts to rid the language of words and language use of Arabic and Persian origin and to replace them with their Turkish counterparts.

Speaking against this background, President and AKP Chair Erdoğan said, "Our Turkish has been subjected to the biggest word massacre in our history on the way to simplifying the language."

"The prohibitions imposed on words that we have been using for centuries have not been enough to free our language from the yoke of foreign languages, as claimed. On the contrary, our beautiful Turkish in the hands of language executioners got stuck in an impasse after a while with the words of Gazi himself," added Erdoğan further, referring to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the first President of the Republic, as "Gazi", meaning veteran.

"In the current situation, young people cannot even read and understand the gravestones of their forefathers who lost their lives a century ago. Not only our young people, but our university graduates also have difficulties in reading the works written 70-80 years ago," said Erdoğan further.

It is, in fact, not the first time that Erdoğan complained about the young being unable to read what is written on their ancestors' gravestones. In a speech in December 2014, Erdoğan said, "There are those disturbed by the offspring of this country learning Ottoman Turkish. This is the Turkish that does not get old. This is not foreign. We will learn the truth. They ask, 'Will we learn how to read gravestones?'. A history lies in those gravestones. Can there be a bigger weakness than not knowing this?" He also said, back then, "Ottoman Turkish will be taught and learnt in this country, either they like it or not..."

Further in his speech at the ceremony, Erdoğan also stressed that "nations that do not protect their language and cannot enrich their language are doomed to topple, just like trees whose roots are drying up."

'Architecture, calligraphy, music...'
Indicating that Turkey has been situated at the crossroads of civilizations throughout history, Erdoğan briefly added:

"Besides Istanbul, which is a value by itself, there are other places in every corner of Turkey such as Hatay, Kayseri, Ürgüp, Hasankeyf, Ephesus and Hattusa which served as the cradle of civilizations throughout history. Excluding the venues where plundered pieces are on display, nowhere in the world can you see works that are similar in capacity and diversity to the ones Topkapı Palace is home to.

"Let alone the whole of Topkapı Palace, it takes hours to duly tour even one chamber of its. Our nation, continuously enriching the ancient civilization that spans thousands of years, has produced unique works in various fields of culture ranging from architecture and music to calligraphy and literature."

I would like to ask Erdogan a question. Your the President. AKP has been in power for nearly 20 years. One Presidential decree would overturn Ataturks legacy and Turkish could go back to Arabic script. Why don't you do it NOW? Are you going to wait for another 100 years?

We know the truth. Erdogan just says these things to get support from all sections of Turkish society. He has managed to retain power now for so long because of this tack he has. He knows how to placate everybody. From gays to hardline Muslims. All.
Tard, because they are hypocrites. Erdogan as President of a secular Turkish Republic is opposite of a Islamic hell republic.

I just don't understand the jealousy here. Whether they are secular or not they are still Turks and they are the descendants of the ottomans.

Like a father like a son.

The Pakistanis either will never change. Until they have fulfilled their destiny

 

[Indus Pakistan]

Like a father like a son.

I agree. I could turn athiest tomorrow but my father will remain my father. My son could convert to Christianity but he will remnain my son and share nothing much with you even if your Christian. This is simple concept that evades most Pakistani's although inside Pakistan they are big on the patriarchal line.

You haven't read Made in China 2025, or do you?
In China 14th 5 years plan, EV is the future. Half of the market will be EV in next 10 year.
Wake up.

I do alot of business with China so I know that it is pretty unrealistic with the timeline you gave out lmao

half of the market, not half of the existing cars. The existing cars will still be running on the street for another 10 years or so. But half of the new cars will be EV.
Economy and political will decide China will push EV anyway.

If I tell you China will build 40,000 km high speed railway in 15 years in 2008, you will call me nuts. But you will see 40,000 km high speed railway before 2022.

I don't doubt that China wants to go into EV like everyone else but it is not feasible the timeline you gave while mine is realistic.

China itself says the target is 2050

 

[jamal18]

Well done, Erdogan!

 

[Yankee-stani]

Well done, Erdogan!

In what campaign slogans

 

[Mujahid Memon]

@Yankee-stani these religious zombies think Erdogan is some caliph who will give them their ummah. Erdogan has been in power for nearly 20 years and last summer on my visit Istanbul had a nightlife with women, drinks, gays flowing in more abundance than London's West End.

Everyone can see the picture with his/her own level of mindset. Some people can only see the bolded parts according to their own level of thinking but progressive people like me will see the great progress, industrialization, independent foreign policy and strong democracy in last 20 years.

That's not cause of Erdogan but change in worlds politics and Turkey seeing a advantage to stake claims

 

[Mujahid Memon]

what difference does it make if Pakistanis like Erdogan or not?

Nothing they are just jealous because their beloved Western countries cannot subjugate Turkey anymore just like they used to before Erdogan. Do you remember how Western media were crying like mad b!tches when people of Turkey successfully crushed the coup. Yes the same West who claims to be the bastion of democracy.

Who said supporting the coup in 2016 besides if it was between Gulenists and Erdogan who are both crap but Erdogan was lesser evil in that regard Gulen would have turned Turkey into Saudi Arabia in no time
