Yes, as i said turkey is a democratic and republic. Yes, it is true,we are muslim but it isn't a barrier. Are european people or governments laic? you are getting married in churches. Is it laic? you dont want to know the Turkish Republic of the North Cyprus. Is it fair,democratic. Be sure that we are much more fair,democratic and laic than you.'

you can search our history. yes remember the Ottoman Empire. you have lived so many years with the fair of Ottoman Empire. you can remember, you can search, we have never behaved in a bad way, we have been always fair to christians. the christian people have been doing everything in the churches. And all of these stuff shows our loftiness. And now we,Turks,dont want to be the member of an unfair christian club, eu. its known that our people dont want it. Because we are different. you have learnt civilization from us, 200 years ago, you dont know about a toilette. it is so dramatic to learn your history isn it? And now u are saying that 'Turkey cant be the member of e.u'. so funny.

The reality is not your not making us a member. reality is our not wanting to be a member. we dont worry about your culture and 100 years west culture.we have a history over than 1500 years.you can search and then talk. i hope i can explain the truth.

thanks. Yüce Türk ulusu en iyisine layıktır.Bozkurtlar bu vatanın sonsuz bekçileridir. "NE MUTLU TÜRKÜM DİYENE!..."
