Turkey has the youngest population in Europe

[Reashot Xigwin]

How are Turks European?

Their System of Government is a Parliament which is emulated in many non-European countries?

Their culture and way of life? How is that European? They smoke sheehsa, they eat doner kebabs, they look middle eastern. Those are all Middle Eastern traits rather than European traits.

Are you telling me that Europe borders Syria and Iran?

Turkey is a Middle Eastern Country.

What's constitute European culture exactly in your narrow understanding? Turks smoke hashis, Dutch smoke weed. Turks eat kebab, the French eat snail.

They look middle eastern? Now you're just being racist. Turks are from the Caucasus. So that would technically make them Caucasian (White). If they're brown that's just skin color (you racist) genetically they're white.

European culture is about individual liberty, tolerance & secularism. Differences in diet or otherwise are just quirks not culture.

But Turkey also Border Greece & Bulgaria. Turkey is a Transcontinental country bordering Europe & Asia, but Turkey is more European than Asian. Therefore its a European country. Borders are trivial anyway (Look at Gibraltar its in Spain, but British in everything or look at Guam its in Asia pacific but American) what matters are cultures.

Turkey is a European country.

Turkey is not and never will be a European Country.

Turkey is a Middle Eastern Country.

Turkey is neither a European nor a Middle Eastern country. It's a Turkic country with a unique culture.

What about other ethnicities like Kurds, Armenians, Arabs ,Circassian, Greeks, Laz, Georgian?

According to Milliyet, a 2008 report prepared for the National Security Council of Turkey by academics of three Turkish universities in eastern Anatolia suggested that there are approximately 55 million ethnic Turks, 12.6 million Kurds, 2.5 million Circassians, 2 million Bosniaks, 500,000-1.3 million Albanians, 1,000,000 Georgians, 870,000 Arabs, 600,000, Pomaks, 80,000 Laz, 60,000 Armenians, 25,000 Assyrians/Syriacs, 20,000 Jews, and 15,000 Greeks living in Turkey.

But they are not "Turks". They have their own culture, language and history. Therefore you can't say Turkey is an exclusively a "Turkic" nation.

So Iran is not Iranic with all the different ethnicities living there?
You should look at the name of a country instead of trying to bash.
Turkey=Turkic
Iran=Iranic
Cat you have an obsession with Turks/Turkey?

Well, Iran never claimed to be an Iranic country. It's an Islamic Republic., It is Iranic majority, but we do have Semites and Turks in Iran. In fact the Supreme Ayatollah is of Turkish heritage.


The problem here is that you are claiming to be "Turkic" nation, you are denying 30%-40% of your population their culture, language and heritage!

and no I'm not "obsessed" with your country, I have legitimate questions, it seems your countrymen are hostile to these questions.

So by your logic France with 20% of the people from other cultures and heritage should not be called French?
Or Russia with who nows how many different cultures,races,heritage etc..should not be called Russian?
Chinese,same thing.
India,same thing.
So again Turkish republik is Turkic,get it?

Well my little troll friend, let me explain the issue;

I'm NOT Turk. I'm Circassian(Adygha/Kabardey) by both parents. But yes, i do have my own culture/language/history. But as example, both my parents served in the law enforcement, and i was military student. My point is, inside Turkey: we share different cultures&views. But TOGETHER WE ARE TURKEY. I'm not a Turk. But i'm Turkish and like any other Turk(ish), Kurd, Laz, Bosnian...etc. there are things i have to do for my country, Turkey. In respond to such cases like your troll attempt: yeah we are Turks/Turkey/Turkish/Turkic...etc. you name it. now, foxtrot omega.
