You poor-poor people over at the Turkish foreign ministry. 1) There is no mentioned of electing Muftis in the Lausanne Treaty. We suggest that you honor Kemal Ataturk’s signature. 2) There is no mention of a Turkish minority in the Lausanne Treaty, there is only mentioned of a religious Greek Muslim minority, so , again, we ask you to honor Kemal Ataturk’s signature. 3) The Muftis are not even elected in Turkey, so what gives you the ethical right to request that they should be elected in Greece? As the whole world can see, you have nothing, you have no legal grounds for any of these crazy demands and accusations. #Turkey #Turkiye #Greece #Yunanistan #Thrace

@Serkan194258 @TurkishCentury Not at all. Israel is a rogue state that urgently needs to be dealt with by every decent nation on earth (inc. Turkey). They need to be stopped and punished harshly. But that is not to say Erdogan has not eroded the state institutions in Turkey. Ataturk's Turkey needs a comeback.

Paris has withdrawn funding from the #Eurodone program. The move effectively ends 🇫🇷's participation and likely also the program itself(!), as 🇮🇹 & 🇪🇸 have both picked 🇹🇷 Turkish partners #Baykar & #TUSAS respectively going forward and 🇩🇪 won't do it on alone.

I agree with Zelenskyy. Europe needs a union built on real defense capability. Ukraine, Turkey, UK, Norway - that’s the backbone.

In a Belgrade school, lessons begin with the Lord's Prayer. This should happen in every European school, no ifs, ands, or buts.

Nothing is more disgusting than Turks erasing native heritage and claiming it as their own 'Turkic people' dance. What shameless, despicable poeple! It’s literally the Pontic Greek dance χορός (khorós)
TÜRK 🇹🇷@turklendikkk

Horon, Doğu Karadeniz'de özellikle Çepni ve Kıpçak Türk kültürüyle harmanlanmış, cesaretin bir göstergesidir. Karadeniz’den cepheye giden askerlerin horon oynaması: “Korkmuyoruz” demenin bir yolu “Cesaret gösterisi” “Düşmana karşı psikolojik bir duruş”

What I learned at school in Turkey🇹🇷: - Kemalism I - Kemalism II - Kemalism III - Turkish history (We never committed genocide) - We Turks must obey the state, states are holy - Nationalism = good - Western imperialists, greeks and armenians = bad I'm not exaggerating.
When the everywhere-eye asks you...@Etoilealisme

What I learnt at school in South Korea🇰🇷: - Misogyny I - Misogyny II - Misogyny III - Korean history (America saved us) - Economy is everything, Democracy doesn’t matter - Capitalism = good - Communism = bad I’m not exaggerating.

@morena_mar2586 Turkey should swiftly get visa-free travel to Europe. It's simply absurd the way things stand now.

@ragipsoylu "Peace at home, peace in the world." A fascinating motto for a country. Ataturk was one hell of a man.

@tashecon Maybe not stop Russia, but try to understand their concerns. I think Turkey is one of the few countries that can see both sides of the issue when it comes to Russia. There's a reason they felt the need to attack Ukraine, it didn't come out of the blue.

Rutte should resign for this. Truly shameful. I don’t care if he has some inside line to Trump - it is not working, Trump does what he wants anyway. It’s time for European NATO to stand on its own two feet. With Turkiye, Poland, Finland, Ukraine we can stop Russia.
Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand

This is beyond shameful: x.com/atrupar/status… When asked if it "bothered him at all" when Trump "threatened to kill the entire Iranian civilization," Rutte's response was simply: "what I want you to know is I support the President and I know a large part of Europe do." If Europe cared at all about the "values" it supposedly has, this should be cause for immediate dismissal, and potentially criminal prosecution - publicly endorsing genocide would be classified as illegal hate speech in several EU countries, including in the Netherlands (Rutte's own country).

@ciftbaslikurt85 @TurkishCentury Ich verstehe nicht ganz, was du meinst – du wirkst etwas verwirrt. Aber ein unabhängiges, kemalistisches Türkei liegt im Interesse ganz Europas, das war mein Punkt.

@Roland_Whitmore @TurkishCentury nicht. Du entscheidest, wer die Türkei regiert.... sondern die Türken!! Es ist klar, dass ihr wieder die Kemalisten kontrollieren wollt. Typisch

@notseehatermike @roachb33 @BujokMr Very true, but Israel would never attack Turkey. Despite tensions, Turkey remains firmly anchored to the West. Besides, Turkey's military dwarfs Israel's. If you invite a bear to dance, it’s not you who decides when the dance is over—it’s the bear, as the Russians wisely say.

@Roland_Whitmore @roachb33 @BujokMr when the US leaves NATO they will take their nukes with them which greatly neuters their defense on the world stage. Not that they wont fight back but they have to have a level of restraint. Its awful to even have to have this conversation, kills my soul
