The kind of behaviour you descibed is displayed usually by ignorant poor masses which get their news from the media pool of AKP. I get that those people need to have something to be proud of in order to find some meaning in their life. It is not harmful to be proud of who you are, since we know that EU countries would love to crush Turkey like a bug if they ever could get the chance. However it is those nations, which learn lessons from their mistakes, will prosper. The lesson is that Turkey-EU relationships are not based on friendship. Turkey will never get the same treatment as a fellow European country. We need to get rid of economic and military dependencies one by one, until then Turkey will not negotiate with EU on equal footing. Turkey needs to look for new alliances based on some semblance of sincerety, since it is obvious that Europeans clearly expressed that Turkey has no place in the West. There are millions of people like me who can look at the situation objectively that EU is a christian club and EU considers Turkey as a buffer zone. Europeans are not foes but definitely not my friends either. People think Turkey behaves maliciously against EU (it is all words and populism by Erdoğan but no concrete action); EU community did never get to see a real malicious attitude from Turkey yet. Let them close all Turkish mosques, and deal with Wahhabi Saudi and North african teachings then.
