Why do MENA people want to associate with Turks?

[Râman Hvâstra]

You signed up just for this?

No, i signed up to give some attention. Feeling lucky today?

Why are you dissing me? Most migrants coming from the third wolrd t Europe are not from educated and middle lass societies. Geez. If it makes you feel better I don't give a shit to Whites or Europe for that matter. Ok, I apologize for that.

They may not be very educated, but most are hard-working and want to contribute something to their host country.

Agreed, and I'm sorry on what I said earlier.

This is a bit interesting. Whenever there's a discussion about Turkey's role in Europe; Iranians, Arabs, Kurds, Afghans etc. always jump in and make a huge fuss about it. I don't see any normal Europeans getting worked up like this, except a certain Moor offspring and a few other no-life incels. A MENA comes and say; 'hey durkey is not europe' and all thumb ups mostly come from MENA people, not Europeans. This is just my observation.

Now here's the fact: Turkey is a Eurasian country similar to Russia. Turkey's European portion has a population of over 20 million and is by far the most important area in terms of commerce, popularity and investment, like Moscow in Russia which makes it a country closer to Europe rather than to China or Japan.

So; I have a theory about this. Turkish series have a large audience in MENA countries, from Arabia to West Asia, as well as in the Balkans. These series demonstrate the secular, modern, liberal, European-like way of life in Turkey which makes them envious. Since Turkey is the country closest to them while having some affinity with Europe; they want to pull Turkey to their mess which would make them feel a little bit better. Turkey hosts a great number of tourists from Iran and other Middle Eastern countries who come here to enjoy the liberal and European way of life as they wish. Iranian women take off their hijab at the airport. For them; Turkey is the closest country they can get to easily and get a bit of the European air.



No one claims Turkey is %100 European. As I stated; it's Eurasian, and probably the closest country to Europe amongst those that are not fully European. During the Balkan Wars; over 10 million people identifed as Turkish or Muslim migrated to Anatolian soil, which was larger than the Anatolian population itself at that time.

No matter how much they keep babbling; I will not just shut my mouth and keep my opinion to myself. This is why I'm creating this thread.

Turks are MENA’s! Why should Turks be considered Europeans, they are not more European than Moroccans. Both countries are close to Europe, but are not Europe. It is that simple!

Because of freaking Sunni Islam. Duh. Stop exaggerating the amount of distancing Turks, Arabs and Persians do with each other.

They long for the stability of their old Ottoman Papa.

But we are European not MENA. Sorry for them.

[jfgh676]

Dont associate us with them. We were never ruled by them or influenced. We see turks just like we see saudi or iran,a country in neighboring region with same religious influence.
