Huh? They are proud of their country. If you were in Turkey you would say the same about the US.
They miss their home and are proud of their heritage ... after all its "the cradle of civilization." There are amazing historical and archaeological sights throughout the country. They are some of the most hospitable people I have ever met. They have a wonderful cuisine and cultural traditions. The Aya Sophia is beautiful and is a great representation of Christianity and Islam coming together in one place.
As far as problems in Turkey, turn on your TV or pick up a newspaper. Or just check your yahoo mail as one of the news stories will address Turkey.
Instead of trying to bring them down, why don't you learn from them? And try to be supportive since they miss their country, family, language, traditions, etc. Especially since Ramadan just ended and they are probably very sentimental at the moment. Show them how considerate Americans can be and highlight some of the reasons why you think America is so great.

there's nothing wrong with Turkey except the history of what they did to the Kurds

Grown men walk around holding hands while fiddling with worry beads in the other free hand.
