Turkey favorable for Turkish people only

[TurAr]

Turks have a favorable view of themselves but not of any other nation, and the world does not have a favorable opinion about Turks and Turkey, according to a recent survey.

Transatlantic Trends, an annual survey of public opinion made public yesterday, revealed that 85 percent of Turks had a favorable view of their own country, while many nations do not consider Turkey a favorable country. The second-most-favorable country for Turks was Japan, with an approval number of 54 percent. Japan was followed by Germany (48 percent) and South Korea (41 percent).

Two countries Turks have unfavorable opinions about do not come as much of a surprise: Israel, with an approval number of 9 percent and Greece with 17 percent, according to the survey. Other most-favorable countries for Turks are as follows: China (39 percent), EU countries (36 percent), Spain (35 percent), U.S. (34 percent), Russia (32 percent), Ireland (30 percent) and Italy (27 percent).

The title is wrong because there are other Turkic people (like Turkmenistan) who do not have a favorable view of present day Turkey.

The tittle of the article should say "Turkey favorable for Anatolian Turks only"

With that said most countries will have a favorable view of themselves, however in Turkey this is an obsession and chauvinism the head of the Turkish spear.

A low 39% approval for China is not favourable.

And your claims based on where? Is there a similar survey with Turkic people that i'm not aware of? Not that it is unlikely though, even i do not have a favorable view for todays Turkey.

Needless to say, it is about the current government of Turkey. If there is any dislike against Turkey among other Turks in the word, i believe it is because of the same reason...

As for the European countries, butthrt playing an important role.

Many of them doesn't even have any idea about Turkey, they think its a middle eastern country like others, and you know the usual feeling of west towards middle east, the ones who are knowing Turkey and visiting Turkey either neutral or likes Turkey, thats enough for us, we don't need to have favor of entire countries.

Turkey is a middle eastern country.

 

[Targon]

Not like other middle eastern countries, the ones in the minds of westerners, and many of us don't consider ourselves middle eastern but somewhere in middle.

 

[Avisheik]

If the survey was conducted in south asia, i think turkey would be veiwed most favourably.

 

[Quasar]

Turkey is a middle eastern country.

+ balkan, cacasus, black sea, mediterranean country as well...which is quite evident in every aspect of everyday life in Turkey

The Russian stats: Survey: Respondents’ Views on Other Countries Shift or Remain Static | Transatlantic Trends

Their results are mostly unfavorable too, but unlike Turkey, Russia loves everyone

And another intersting graph:

According to it, Turkish people thinks that countries of Asia are more important than the US.

Avarage 30% of the people in 12 EU countries think that the Asian countries are more important than the US when it comes to their national interests. It is much more than i expected.

This is wrong. Turkmen government doesn't like us, not Turkmen people.
