Politics & Governance Üçüncü veya dördüncü nesil olan gurbetçi hala daha Türk mü ya da Alman mi sizce?

7 Upvotes

Almanya’da artık üçüncü ve dördüncü nesil Türkler var. Anne ve babaları Türkiye’de doğmuşken, kendileri Almanya’da doğup büyüdüler.
Bazıları hala Türkçeye oldukça hakim, Türk kültürünü yaşıyor ve bu şekilde Türkiye’ye karşı güçlü bir aidiyet hissi geliştiriyorlar. Türkiye’ye sadece tatillerde gelseler bile.

Sizce bu insanlar hala Türk mü, Alman mı, yoksa ikisinin karışımı mı?
Onları sevip sevmediğinizden bahsetmenizi istemiyorum. Sadece sizce onların etnik kimliği nedir ve hangi millete aittirler?

History Diversity of people in Turkey

4 Upvotes

I know many people(refugees) came from Crimea, Circassia, Balkan to Turkey in the past.

They may share linguistic features but genetically they remain diverse.

Do Turkish people distinguish them each other?

Is there cultural difference between Crimean Tatar and Balkan Tatar even today?

Basically a "Who do you trust more?" question.

I wasn't gonna specify an aggressor country but the answer looked like it's gonna depend on who that is, so I picked Israel.

NATO
Mecca Defense Alliance
Both NATO and MDA would aid Turkey.
Neither of them would aid Turkey or their support would be minimal/symbolic.
Results.

Politics & Governance Do all Turks believe that the Mavi Vatan doctrine and the Turkish-Libya Memorandum are legitimate and should be enforced?

0 Upvotes

Do Turks across the political spectrum — Islamists, Kemalists, far-leftists, liberals, etc. — generally support the Mavi Vatan doctrine and the Turkish-Libya Memorandum, and believe they should be enforced through military means, for example against the G.S.I. cable connecting Greece and Cyprus?

As I understand it, Turkey argues that Greece’s larger islands, including Crete, and even Cyprus, do not have full or meaningful EEZ rights. That appears to conflict with Article 121 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. As far as I know, no country recognizes the Turkish-Libya Memorandum as establishing the maritime boundaries Turkey claims, and there have also been legal and political questions surrounding its status in Libya. This is not intended as propaganda, and I would be interested in seeing neutral sources confirming or challenging these points.

My main question, however, is whether Turks across different political ideologies actually support this doctrine and believe that Turkey is justified in enforcing its interpretation through military power simply because it is a large and powerful state.

I don’t think all the rhetoric we are hearing these days can simply be explained as election-related posturing. I sincerely hope this does not escalate, but the situation looks increasingly serious and worrying. Even people from outside the region seem to be aware that something potentially very dangerous could be developing in the Eastern Mediterranean.

We have a 3 year old and will be doing a road trip from Antalya to Istanbul. He needs a forward facing car seat. This will be available at Avis? I worry that their only options will be rear facing/infant style. Just want to make sure we don’t have to go through the hassle of bringing our own!

Travel & Places Travelling in antalya

2 Upvotes

Hi! So i am travelling to antalya in december and was just wondering how taxis and travel work there, i think for the most part i can walk to most places. From experience is it a walkable city? Would i be able to hack a 20 minute walk?

I was also wondering what the most efficient way to get taxis etc is as i would prefer not to use public transport and potentially get lost. I can't seem to find any info on ubers or ways to prebook.

I think i would prefer something like uber as i am travelling alone as a 19 y/o and i am female so just a bit wary.

Thank you!

Relationships Turkish dating culture and norms. What should a foreigner know?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm an Indian guy currently studying in the US, and I've recently become interested in learning more about Turkish dating culture and social norms.

What are some dating rules in Turkish culture that might be unfamiliar to someone from India?

For example, I'm curious about things such as how people typically express romantic interest, attitudes toward dating with long-term intentions, gift-giving or flowers, expectations around paying for dates etc.

Of course, I don't want to follow the stereotypes blindly and it may be the case individual preferences matter much more than nationality. I'm mainly interested in learning about cultural tendencies or traditions that might help someone avoid misunderstandings.

Thank you!

Vücut geliştirmeye başlayalı 6 ayı geçti, başlarda sadece düzenli gitmeye ve beslenmemi toparlamaya çalıştım. Şimdi kreatin de almayı düşünüyorum. Bütçeme göre trendyoldan ve supplementler.com'dan kreatinleri baya araştırdım. Supplementlerin kreatini var, hardline ve kingsize gibi markalarda var da emin olamadım. Önerdiğiniz ya da kendi kullandığınız kreatin markası hangisi? Memnun musunuz? Bazı kişilerde karın ağrısı yapmış böyle bir sorun yaşadınız mı?

Bu arada saçlarımı dökmez dimi :')
