While learning Turkish within the last six years, we had to know both the Turkish and Arabic for a lot of words, since there’s a huge resurgence its use. Part of how Erdogan keeps winning elections has been ‘relocating’ large numbers of very poor from the east into high-rises in ‘problem’ cities. Izmir is a prime example. When you’re around those people, you hear a lot of Arabic.
