So what this feels like is that when she made that statement, it wasn’t a gaffe as it was claimed to be. I would read this as EU is now actively trying to position Turkey as a threat and already started using its institutions to justify it.
Idk if it is the case and, for example, US is less of an active espionage actor. But the headline reminds Ursula’s positioning of Turkey a few months ago: "We must succeed in completing the European continent so that it does not fall under Russian, Turkish, or Chinese influence,"
German intelligence identified Turkey’s national intelligence service as one of the four most active foreign espionage actors operating in Berlin, alongside Russia, China, and Iran, according to a 140-page report.
If you want to call it like “Turkland” or something maybe I’d be more on board but expecting me to pronounce a foreign word is preposterous.
In the same vein, I’m not calling it “Cote D’ivoire.” It’s Ivory Coast. Again, I speak English, not French.
Genel olarak ben de böyle yapiyorum ama Milan Kundera’yı ingilizce de okuduktan sonra edebiyat özelinde Türkçe çeviri tercih etmeye başladım (orijinal dil ingilizce değilse)
Bir kitap İngilizce yazıldıysa orijinalini okumak, İngilizce yazılmadıysa da İngilizce çevirisini okumak lazım. Sadece Türkçe yazılmış kitapları Türkçe okurum. Türkçe çeviri belki eskiden hayati bir şeydi, artık değil. İngilizce bilen kişi her şeyi okuyabilir. Bilmeyen okuyamaz.
Everyone is talking about how bad the ideas in this Piketty proposal are, and it's true: They're very bad.
But what's also notable is how *out of date* they feel. A one-world government to fight climate change? Seriously? Even Greta Thunberg has moved on to Palestine activism.
Turkish state failed to build&support turkish identity for the diaspora. How would they learn (from often undereducated immigrant parents?) and more importantly, why would they learn? (very useless if you dont plan to live in tr&they get shitty treatment when they visit)
I just spoke Turkish to a German Turk and I’m sure I just stunlocked him by doing that.
Bro could not speak Turkish at allllllll, why are German Turks, generally, so bad with speaking Turkish?
The Turkish they do speak has such a deep German accent too
