Where do you get that information? I go in and out of there all the time, in the cities and the countryside and I’ve never had any issues....they’re very friendly to all religions there from my experience and bend over backwards trying to be good hosts. I’ve even been in people’s homes that were complete strangers and had meals cooked out of hospitality. Sounds like a serious bias there.....armed guard for the countryside??? Seriously?? Wow....
Lots of nice history there and most isn’t taken care of due to costs. And there is just so much historical ruins that most countries would go broke trying to take care of that much. I sat on ruins of one of Alexander the Great’s castles and we cooked kebabs...amazing...and the hidden fresco’s in people’s backyards...coins everywhere when plowing fields, just don’t try to take them out of the country...lol. Nice place, but hopefully they don’t go too far over to radicalism.

Lucky you. I lived there for 18 months, several friends were killed by the locals for reasons stated. Other things I witnessed or narrowly escaped.
They are good hosts because custom requires it. All our personnel were armed. Going in and out is not the same as living there.
Watched Turk military beat another Turk mil guy until his brains spread over the pavement ...
Street riot in Ankara was put down in 1967 with jets using napalm.
Yes I am bias, having lived it.
Unless the Military unseats the present government, they will go all the way. This is not too likely since Erdogan purged the Attaturk supporters and is working with Iran.
