I wonder if it is the work of a Kurdish group.

When Turkey aids radical Islam to harrass Israel, that’s peacefull politics. When radical Kurds blow up in Turkey, THAT’S Terror, right Turks? I no longer drink Turkish coffee, rather Armenian/Kurdish coffee...snicker, snicker...

Not necessarily. Turkey, having turned itself into an official muslim sh*thole, is simply having a normal muslim day.

It seems so "Members of the separatist rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and extreme left-wing groups have carried out bomb attacks in the past in Istanbul."

I knew a woman who was an Army kid. She spent time in countries all over the world. She said Turkey was the most disgusting place. She would walk through the street Markets and see meat hanging for sale, with maggots crawling through it. Sewage running down the streets.

I lived in Turkiye, it's one of the most historic, beautiful countries in the world. The Turks are great people, unfortunately they currently have the same leadership the US has. And if this broad you know doesn't like meat markets, should could always go to the supermarket.

Actually it is Muslim Turk dogs lying down with other Muslim dogs.

Frankly it could be another “deep state” venture - Turks are known for bamboozing their own people and the world.

It’s a disgusting place all right...but the word disgusting is being generous.

Turkey is where in the 20th century alone over 3 million Christians were genocided out of existence by the Islamic Kemalist Islamic Turks.

‘That’s funny - thanks for the humor!’

I somehow don’t think that statement was intended to be humorous.

Do tell us about your visit.

I lived in Turkiye two years, working for the TAF on Peace Onxy III aircraft. The Turkish armed forces are as professional as they come, most enlisted can speak at least 3 languages.....Turkish, English and either French or German. The Turkish military follow Attaturk and his philosophies of stronger ties to the West.

Turkey is a paradise of beautiful beaches and Turkish women, very well educated for the most part, and good looking as they come. Peasants tend to follow the old muslim religion, the younger generation are westernized to the max and well educated.

Turkey will own Syria and Iran's water lifeline when they complete the Attaturk Dam project

http://www.adiyamanli.org/ataturk_dam.htm

which is why Syria and Iran support the marxist PKK rebels in Iraq.

Any other questions you would like answered, feel free to ask.
