If it makes you feel any better, I have wonderful memories of visiting Istanbul with my family when I was a child and would love to go back. The people were wonderful and friendly. Im not keen on the direction that Erdogan has been taking your country but that's something that is only my business in the sense that I can complain about him from the comfort of my own country.
- fatihpense 11y agoThank you. It made me feel better! I would like to host you/have a coffe with you if you come to Istanbul again. On the subject of direction of Turkey, there are more objective and problematic indicators like press freedom. And then there are superfluous statements made by Erdogan just to get some more votes, just to troll opponents etc. Don't mind the latter. Those words are just sauces and masks, not the real stuff. Most people vote for the lesser evil, and Erdogan's party only won in the early elections after forming of a coalition has failed by other parties. Most of the people live modernly and want to live modernly. So I don't think the direction will go to extremes.
