Nationalism is rising in Turkey

The terrorism of PKK, Armenian genocide allegations, the Cyprus problem... make Turkish people very angry. The Turkish nationalism is rapidly rising and the map of great Turkey state is created by some radical Turkish nationalists. It shows the anger of Turks!

Turkey should use wind mills rather than nuclear plant




In the chart below, you see the top ten countries that generate most windpower in the world. I am very disappointed that Althoguh Turkey has great natural resources, Turkey just generates 51 MW electricity by wind power.

Resource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power


Furthermore, Turkish government plans to build nuclear plant to solve the power porblem in Turkey. In fact United States and other western countries want to transfer their radioactive garbage to Turkish land.

I do not want nuclear energy, nuclear plant! Let's use wind power and build more wind mills in order not to destroy nature much.

Ten mining companies prospecting on the greenest mountain in the world



Ten mining companies prospecting for various metals in the Ida Mountains (Kaz Dağları) have been criticized for destroying centuries-old trees, the daily Radikal reported yesterday.

Ten companies that are still in the exploration stage are destroying the trees there. Mud has already mixed with the water on Homer's Ida with a thousand springs. The local residents are determined to not allow this: We will protect our mountain, the paper quoted them as saying.

The Ida Mountains, mentioned in Homer's Iliad and which hosts endemic plants, is in a life and death struggle, according to the daily. Ten mining companies, who had obtained permission to prospect for metals such as gold, copper and lead in 36 different points continue their work unabated. If they discover mines on the Ida Mountains and the government grants these companies permission to mine them, Ida Mountains might become “grizzly mountains,” the daily said.

In the Bayramiç area tens of trees have been cut only in the exploration stage. Bulldozers have uprooted juniper trees in the Küçükkuyu area. Muddy water has started to flow in the village streams. Mayors, who have come together to discuss the problem, say if the government gives mining permission, agriculture and stockbreeding will end. We are preparing for the greatest environment demonstration, Radikal quoted the mayors as saying.

Turkish Troops are ready to intervene Northern Iraq

The map shows the region where PKK (Kurdish Terrorist Organization) is strong.


Since U.S. occupied Iraq, there is a security problem for Turkey. PKK (Kurdish Terrorist Organization) attacks to Turkish Troops in the border of Turkey and Iraq. Turkey warned U.S. several times to make U.S. provide the security and authority in Northern Iraq but U.S. does not care about it. Therefore most of the Turks are opposed to U.S. and Turks are now willing to intervene Nortern Iraq to destroy Kurdish terrorists. 13 Turkish soldiers were killed by Kurdish terrorists last week and Turkish people are very angry at this situation. Turkish citizens request Turkish Army to intervene Northern Iraq.


In this video, you will watch the most professional Turkish Commandoes who are ready for Northern Iraq operation.

Kill The Rich!

The gap between rich and poor becomes larger and larger every day and this causes hate and anger among poors against rich ones. I have taken this photo at Etiler town in Istanbul.

Turkey is the 4th slowest in the internet connection speed

As I have read in a newspaper today, Turkey is at 12th place in internet connection speed in 15 countries in Europe. In Turkey we have 2 mbps internet speed while Finland has 21,7 mbps.

It is very funny that Nowadays, Turkish Telecom makes advertisements on Tvs saying that Internet connection speed has become 4 times faster than before.

Earrings in Turks

The Ottomans wore earrings during history. As you see in the picture below, one of the most important sultans of Ottoman Empire, Yavuz Sultan Selim also wore earring. According to his belief, it symbolizes being the slave of God.

Nowadays in Turkey, some of the guys also wear earrings but it is not welcomed by the community. I also do not know why?

Election results are bad for me

47% of the electorate cast their votes for the AKP across the country, proving that they are satified with AKP. the AKP has its roots in political Islam and AKP is non-nationalist, AKP sell every Turkish company to foreigners such as Telsim to Vodafone... Most of the nationalist Turks accuse AKP of being the servant of U.S. and E.U.

Election week for Turkey

22 July 2007 Sunday is the election day for Turkey. No new perspectives are offered by political parties. Most importrant issue for Turkish citizens is the terror problem in the southeastern Turkey. Some Kurds who call them as PKK attacks Turkish soldiers and villagers. Turkish people are very sensitive to this problem. Nobody wants more death.


The promises of the parties are as follows:


AKP

“National” reinforcement.

All precautions against the threat of terrorism will be effectively implemented.

No one will be permitted to use the territories of neighboring countries as a terrorist base.

It is a natural right of Turkey to guarantee its national security within the scope of international law and to develop a strong line of security against internal and external threats.

The effective and comprehensive policies that have been applied in order to eradicate terrorism and strengthen the common feeling of belonging among all citizens shall be continued.


CHP

No to ethnic exploitation.

The actions of the terrorist organization will be brought to an end. Border security will be provided.

Relations with other countries will be determined by their reactions to terrorism.

The rights that have been granted by international conventions will be fully exercised.

The struggle against terrorism will not be hampered by yielding the issue to the permission of the European Union and United States.

Domestic and foreign financial support for terrorism will be prevented.


MHP

The terrorist leader will be transferred to an F-type prison.

Terrorism will be eradicated through political and military measures.

Turkey's security will not be handed over to the authorization of third parties.

The existence of the terrorist PKK in Europe and its media will be dealt with through an effective and solution-oriented approach.

Foreign support for terrorism will be prevented.

Terrorist crimes will be excluded from the scope of amnesty.

The terrorist leader will be transferred from İmralı to an F-type prison.


DP

No one shall interfere with the feeling of belonging of citizens.

The fight against terrorism will continue.

The citizens who continuously underline ideas of difference and separation will be enlightened with policies that shall make them realize the truth and the fact that no citizen is less important than the other for the state.

Democracy, freedom and the law will be implemented at the utmost level for every person in all of Turkey.

Neither the state nor other authorities will decide about the ethnic, cultural and faith-based belongings of citizens. The state will establish an atmosphere in which everybody is free in his decision and vote.
