I have been a member of slashdot for the past 3 years. I'm not Turkish, although I would be proud to be a Turk. I'm an American Sr. Controls Engineer in pharmaceutical. Also, I am a devout Catholic not Muslim and at 61, am hardly a child. You on the other hand are very childish and that isn't a compliment.
You are so right. I love Turkey and plan to retire there when the time comes. I have never seen a friendlier place.
You also have to remember that Ataturk put laws into place requiring everyone to speak the same language to unify Turkey. Otherwise, the country would have devolved into tiny communities. The Kurds should stop thinking of themselves as Kurds and think of themselves as Turks with Kurdish backgrounds. As in this country, I don't think of myself as Irish, but as an American with an Irish background.
