@BRijswijk @mariotanev @MaxNordau At least this is funny. Yeah, that's us, are you thinking of cutting us up and eating us?

@UmutBehram @mariotanev @MaxNordau

By the way: I'm never going to spell Turkey as "Türkiye" unless I'm writing in Turkish. I don't write "Deutschland" or "中国" or "ایران" or "Magyarország." Turkey is Turkey.

@NisimLevi @MaxNordau What are you still trying to do? Does provoking people make you happy? Whatever you say, we really don't care.

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau Okay. But people will still call it Turkey.

Fenerbahçe bir kere daha hakemler tarafından yarışta tutuldu. İşler artık utanmazlık boyutunu da aştı. Böyle lig olmaz, böyle aleni yapılmaz yapılmaz şike ve kollama.

@NisimLevi @MaxNordau I truly do not care what you say. You can write 'Turkey' across the mountains and rocks, or organize a campaign claiming the name of this country is 'Turkey.' I was simply stating the truth. I'm tired of this argument.

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau 1. Turkey was always Türkiye locally, now you are simply forcing your local name on others. 2. Nobody that is not Turkish can pronounce Türkiye. 3. The result is that people keep on calling it Turkey because that's the version they can pronounce.

@NisimLevi @MaxNordau Some countries have changed their names • Ceylon \Sri Lanka • Upper Volta \ Burkina Faso • Burma \ Myanmar • Zaire \ Democratic Republic of the Congo • Czech Republic \ Czechia • Swaziland \ Eswatini • Macedonia \ North Macedonia • Turkey \ Türkiye

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau No, countries are not beings, they don't have first names. Your comparison, like your logic, is flawed.

@EltunHaber1 Sorun etmeyiz FB’de oynamış olmasını ama ihtiyacımız yok diye düşünüyorum. Jacobs ya da Eren’den iyi değil bence.

Ferdi Kadıoğlu sezon sonu Galatasaray’a gelmek isterse, kabul eder misiniz? 1) Evet, tabi ki 2) Hayır, istemeyiz 3) Rotasyonda iş yapar.

@XManyrivers2 @MaxNordau Okay, I can think about that a bit, because I don't want to give people that impression. But I think you should think about this conversation a bit too.

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau I tend to think he’s being a bit of a Nazi. If you want nations to speak freely you might try being a little less controlling about how people express themselves

@Upplyser @MaxNordau My brother also spent 10 years in Paris and graduated from Sorbonne University. We are very fond of the French. Personally, I am a great admirer of Baudelaire and Marcel Proust. I know and appreciate many more, but those two are my absolute favorites.

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau I will not ignore it, I will say Türkiye, but I find it overly sensitive to react on this, I can’t understand why it’s an issue at all, it is a childish reaktion. By the way, I only have good memories of Türkiye, I’ve traveled there a lot and I met my French wife there.

@Upplyser @MaxNordau A quick tip if you ever visit or do business with Türkiye: Referring to our country as ‘Turkey’ (the bird) will be noticed. Using the proper name ‘Türkiye’ earns you extra respect and goodwill from us. Feel free to ignore this if you don't need it.

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau My point is that all languages have their own name or spelling of other countries, it is just to live with. And by the way, it is the bird that got its name from the name of the country.

@mariotanev @MaxNordau We do not like the name "Turkey" and we have been saying this for years. We are not a bird or a turkey. Even other languages use Turquie or Turchia. From now on, use Türkiye! 🇹🇷

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau You have to admit that if you wanted others to call you a certain way, you should make it pronounceable. Most people have no idea how to pronounce the umlaut. Languages like English cannot pronounce phonetic constructs like iye. Spell it Tyoorkeeyay.

@Upplyser @MaxNordau France" is Fransa in Turkish and pronounced Frahn-sah. We do not like the name "Turkey" and we have been saying this for years. We are not a chicken or a turkey.

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau What is the Turkish spelling an pronunciation of France? How come that basically all European languages have their own name of Germany, including the German language. My birth country, is it Sverige, Sweden, Suède, or something else?

@KitAjans Gerçek bile değildir. Etkileşim almak için senaryo yazıyorlar. Böyle paylaşımlara devam eden sayfaları takipten çıkmanızı öneririm.

Babasını kanserden kaybeden nişanlısı hakkında bir kadının itirafları; "1.5 yıllık nişanlım var, 3 ay önce babası kanserden vefat etti. Cenazeden sonra bana sarılıp hıçkıra hıçkıra ağladı. O an ben ne hissettim biliyor musunuz, tiksindim. Karşımda bir erkek değil küçük bir çocuk vardı. Nişanı atmayı düşünüyorum çünkü artık onu erkek olarak göremiyorum. Ben çok kötü bir insan mıyım yoksa güçlü duramayan bir erkeğe saygı duyamamak normal mi?"

@bahadireren_tr @MaxNordau Yunanların bize Yunanlı demeyin gibi talepleri olursa onlara Greek, Helen ya da ne istiyorlarsa onu deriz. Yunanistan ya da Yunanlı kötü bir anlama gelmiyor. İyonya’dan türemiş ve onların hoşuna gidecek bir ifade.

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau Umut, do you call Greece ‘Yunanistan’ or ‘Hellas’? Do you call India ‘Hindistan’ or ‘Bharat’? Your answer will tell a lot.

@DerekSmythe7 @MaxNordau So why are you even responding to me? I only warned you in good faith. But I understand you haven't done anything wrong; you're deliberately being racist.

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau "The first condition of being a civilized person…" Who the fuck are you, again? You're nobody, and nobody cares what you think people have to do to be civilized.

@XManyrivers2 @MaxNordau When defending a racist who claims ‘It is an occupying state on Turkish soil,’ remember: this obsessive Türkiye-hater isn’t saying it in good faith. Please don’t support racists. Don’t lose your values of human rights and rejecting racism.

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau We call ours England, la France, Deutschland, Italia, Espana. Confirm you do the same when referring to us in Turkish or admit that it is you in fact who is “stupid”

@thockyPy @MaxNordau So what????

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau Ü is not in the English language…

@Enidu242 @MaxNordau As a German, please control those Nazi heritage genes of yours. If you’re not an idiot, you should get it by now. We see the word ‘Turkey’ as a racist attack. What exactly are you still defending?

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau Are you able to speak in meaningful and respectful sentences that are relevant to the topic?

@zippkode @MaxNordau You’re free to say whatever you’d like. However, as long as you keep calling our country ‘Turkey’, we’ll see it as a rude and racist attitude toward us. It might not bother us, but the choice is yours.

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau Again: the nation is not a person. It is not possible to be racist against a nation-state. It is a legal entity that only exists because the rest of the world agrees that it does.

@Enidu242 @MaxNordau Do you persistently use racist words beginning with N when referring to black people?

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau You're wrong. Calling the country "Türkiye" applies only to governments and international organizations-that's all. Of course, anyone else is still free to say "Turkey." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_T…

@zippkode @MaxNordau As a Turk, I can accept that our President Erdoğan does not deserve respect. it should not be forgotten that governments and leaders can change. This does not give you the right to be racist against Turkey. Of course, you have the right to make political criticisms.

@UmutBehram @MaxNordau The second condition is recognizing that nation states are not people and are not entitled to respect in the same way that people are.
