I visited your country this summer. By car. The traffic was HELL ON EARTH and nobody gives a flying f**k about traffic signals or such. I was shocked... and I thought the Bucharest traffic is horrible...
Anyway... just wanted to say that I was impressed by your country. It's pure capitalism... like every democracy should be. And the infrastructure is great. Plus, every 1 out of 3 Turks in Istanbul spoke Romanian. Istanbul is a lot like Romania. From all points of view, the good ones and the bad ones.
Congratulations to Ataturk for making such a country out of the ashes of a retrograde empire.

I was there not too long ago as well. Infrastructure is impressive with huge posters of politicians on them. I like some of the modern skyscrapers but heres my complaint. I dont think its proper to have them by the Bosporous or close to historic areas. Its doesnt look good, its an eye sore. They should build these huge buildings out more where there is nothing there instead of building monstrosities close to the historical city.The AKP is also scaring me a bit with the Islamiscation of the country. Lastly, Be careful of a property bubble burst in the future. You guys are spending way too fast !

Lastly, Be careful of a property bubble burst in the future. You guys are spending way too fast ! Yeah I noticed that too. That's why I said Istanbul is like a mini-Romania (in all the good ways and bad ways). You give an envelope to the city planners and you can build everywhere you want, what you want Simple as that... Also, most of the merchants tried to f**k me over for money. But you can't steal from a thief. I don't hold a grudge against them for this. It's like I was home in Romania. One of the merchants told me I was the hardest negotiator he met for some time.... that Russians, English and other tourists buy objects for the prices he asks without negotiating.

Most Turks are from Romania Bulgaria Albania and Greece it's like a greater Ex Yugoslav Asia Minor rolled into one. How can they speak the language if they're from all over the place.

I know what they claim but there is no Turkish dna
''if you don't believe history, let's take a look at what genetic science and research tells us''
( by Janet Crain ) There is no Unique Turkish dna, the modern day Turks contain 91% mixed dna this includes 86 percent Greek, and the rest are various mixes of Armenian Bulgarian Arabic and hebrew dna''
Your modern day Turks can be can be viewed as such Greek converts to Islam with 9 percent original Turkish dna
Turkish DNA

There is no "Ethnic" DNA ..which includes Turks. The modern day Turks are not Greek converts, they are a combination of Asiatic invaders (kipchak/Oguz etc) and native Anatolians, with additions of Greek, Arab and Balkans(alb/serb/etc) oh and also Armenians and Kurds. The modern day Turks are a huge mixture of these ethnicities with minor Asian admixture. diurpaneus , I am glad you visited ..but rememer Turkey is bigger than just Istanbul.. next time try to also go to Izmir and Bursa these cities are amazing too!

The native Anatolians were Hellenised, they were not Greek to begin with! The Greeks were then Turkified... adding to the mixture of Turkey today Its not a better way of putting it, its a Truer way of putting it... not "modern day Turks are Greek converts", which sounds uneducated about the whole thing.
