Pushing an entire business into black market over time… Who in their right mind approved this?

This one had already bitten the dust.

It’s important to note that South were the ones refusing unification with North Cyprus first; a referandum was held in both countries to unify both countries as one, where North Cyprus had the majority vote to unite but South Cyprus didn’t.

A solution where any of the residents living there are not considered citizens is not a peaceful solution.

What an unexpected surprise, Erdogan is chasing wherever he can go to fill his pockets.

Free speech platform my ass

While the policy for the ban could be agreeable at older times; we’re in 2024. There exists technologies to analyse what sort of diseases could a donor’s blood contain. It’s dumb to discriminate over something that can be proven incorrect.

Considering the current government, indeed it is.

More context: Under Turkish law, any elected lawmaker are granted immunity no matter any previous punishment. Can Atalay was elected as a lawmaker from Turkish Workers Party while he was in jail; but he was refused to let go out of the jail.

The debate about him went all the way to the head law court (AYM); and they essentially said “people elected him, he should be let go, keeping him in jail is not legal”.

On this parliament debate this was meant to be discussed; however members of the governing party first started provoking other parties; then they initiated a fist fight.

Well, immunity applies to all elected lawmakers. If you’ve been punched by a lawmaker, you have no grounds to sue it.

Turkey’s candidate against Erdogan didn’t do it until he lost the election; now the whole country paying the price

There aren’t. However, if one country’s laws says “we torture lgbt its a crime”, why would you move there as a queer, where your existence is considered a crime? Surely there are other job opportunities at other places that don’t think that way.

All the big helicopter corporations trying to stop us building an unauthorised helicopter with all these fake news.

Don’t listen to these news, trust and build your own helicopters.

I’m pretty sure Erdogan has spoken with Barzani more than a few times over years diplomatically, hence the relations. The region under their control is referred on Turkish news outlets as “North Kurdistan”, or “KRI” for short, not sure if I’m mistranslating anything.

Here’s a news link referring to their most recent talks in Turkish.

I don’t get why it is downvoted even thought it’s literally Turkey’s stance. They have opened diplomatic relations with North Kurdistan, but they refuse to acknowledge any claim within their territory made by PKK, a terrorist organization.

North is recognised. Terrorist claims aren’t.

Palestinians have heavily restricted rights inside Israel territory; unlike Kurds in Turkey who are considered Turkish citizens and have no restrictions in their citizenship rights

Hamas has been accepting of a peaceful solution; PKK isn’t. Turkey has tried the peaceful option with no success; because it turned out PKK was using the peace negotiation time to trap more buildings with bombs and arm themselves up.

Main reason behind PKK’s creation was unfair treatment towards prisoners within the areas with high Kurdish population; unlike the whole Palestine-Israel conflict where Israel’s idea started from the thought of ethnic cleansing of their area.

I can’t find any reason why these two would be comparable whatsoever.

Comparing Turkey, a nation that aims to defend its citizens from terrorism related attacks to Israel; a nation that kills civilians and bombs hospitals just to possibly kill some targets is the worst comparison I’ve ever seen.

Israel and Palestine are legitimate nations. Turkey is fighting PKK, a terrorist organization without any legitimate nation behind; also has a history of killing civilians, kidnapping children and burning schools. Unlike Israel, Turkey does not target areas with high likelihood of civilian casualties.
