I feel ya... I my self am not a really big fan of Erdo even though I admit he did some nice things for Turkey at least for things regarding this forum- weapon developments and getting more strength to our army. But i believe that like most people who get too much power for too much time he is losing his sane mind- Putin and Merkel are the similar cases. Of course he has some furious fans (who are the loudest) who fail to admit how he is making things for Turkey worst and more complicated with time going but believe me that most of the People in Turkey are against him and his policies and still the majority are believing in Ataturk and secularism.
Regarding Bulgarians- you are right even though most people doesn't like Borisov and the majority believes Romania is developing faster than BG just because... it is developing faster. Most people in here call you "Gypsies" and always tell how much more developed Bulgaria was during Communism. Most of them miss Communist times- even the nationalists in here do (of course like most of countries in Europe Far right and Far left movements are sponsored from the Kremlin). Still I believe big part of people in here are not against you but the ones who hate you are louder. There is a lot of Bulgarians who have traveled around the Balkans, have some education and are not negative towards others.
Regarding their obsession with history it's funny how on some bulgarian shows regarding politics and history they talk about Ottomans rising in Turkey now but at the same time a map of Bulgaria 2 times bigger than today is hanging on the wall behind them. On one of Bulgaria's nationalist TVs the weather forecast is shown on a map of 10th century Bulgaria with Chisinau, Bucharest, Novi Sad, Tirana, Thessaloniki, Szeged and Odessa shown as Bulgarian cities where Bulgarians still living there want to hear the forecast in their language. Bulgaria's most famous historian even once told that half of Romania's population is consisted of romanized slavs/bulgarians and that you are a fake nation. It's like claiming Spanish are Germans just because some Germanic tribes used lo live around Iberia thousands of years ago.
Damn I love those Balkans... The strangest place in Europe for sure.
