I wonder, is it possible to learn how many people reading Travel-Turkey section in a day ? Is there statistical information ?

Answer 1

All Turks of all creeds and ethnicities are much more logical and open minded than all non-Turk haters. All Turkish Agops and Artins and Hrants and Daniels and Etyens are my brothers.

I demand the trolls to count their brothers and sisters who are ethnic Turkish now.

Answer 2

Well, this is an interesting question, but it is one we (you too, pal) should not try to politicize anymore then it has already. Facts, Turkey is somewhat of an ally, yes I know, a poor one, but still somewhat our so-called friend. Do we risk losing a ally? For the record, what Turkey has done before was wrong and they also do have a right to defend themselves against Kurds or anyone who attacks them. They should also stop harassing the Kurds who live in Turkey. Plus Iraq and the US should do all they can to stop the Kurd attacks from Iraq. Not sure, but maybe they should carve out a country for the Kurds out of the portion of Iraq they live in. They wont be able to take over parts of Turkey or Iran that have Kurds living there already without a fight, nor should they. But they can do so in Iraq with the understanding no large army, only a heavy duty police force with a treaty with the US, Iraq, Iran and Turkey. Any other suggestions?

Answer 3

"Imagine what the Armenian diaspora might have accomplished had it worked as hard for democracy in Armenia as it did for congressional recognition of the genocide Armenians suffered nearly a century ago. It's even possible that modern Armenia would be as democratic as modern Turkey. "

Answer 5

Are you surprised about His comment? Turkey still barbaric country, he is worrying about his people, any person that says anything against Turks, are getting killed, so called democracy state, my ***, just look at Hrant dinks, first of all, you should be ashamed to ask such a question, excuse me, you are a Turk, my mistake.

Answer 6

Mixed. He talked about 1+million armenians sent out to syrian deserts to die. Other than that he seems to be a loyal turkish citizen.

EDIT: Why the thumbs down? These are all facts.
