But a_Turk, democracy in our nation works to the highest bidder! You need to get your nation up with the times. Right now if you have the money to rent at least 20 Demorats or Republicans you can get something passed benefitting your business. </sarcasm off

On a more serious note, you have to remember that our media is designed to inform on the level of the average Sesame Street viewer. On several other threads I challanged FReepers to show their knowledge about Turkey and it's past but with no response. The reality is that Turkey is waiting to see who will be a partner economically if you ask me. Russia, the EU, the US and Asia are all trying to win Turkey's favor. So far I would say the EU and US have done a rather crappy job on every level.

On several other threads I challanged FReepers to show their knowledge about Turkey and it's past but with no response. And just who the hell are you that I should feel compelled to respond to such a stealth bullying tactic ... before I give you some background on Kamal Attaturk, and the rise of representative government in Turkey's history (a very old history, to be sure).
