Serious question is a Turkish holiday out of the question now this summer?

It will be cheap, I'm sat here drunk wearing a fez wondering if to take a chance, the wifes blonde and likes the attention over there

Would you go through Istanbul???? One explosion through terror attack and shutdown today by the army?? I bloody wouldn't!

I wouldn't go for ten grand mate. I have a brother in law taking his kids in 3 weeks and I think he is off his head.

Boris will write a poem like this one ...


There was a young fellow from Ankara

Who was a terrific wankerer

Till he sowed his wild oats

With the help of a goat

But he didn’t even stop to thankera.

Can imagine UEFA suspending Turkish teams from Europe as a result - or they have to play home games outside of Turkey

I read that today. I thought I couldn't admire the man any more then I saw the clip of him referring to lefties as wearing corduroy. I am sure a deal has been done with lady May and he will still be pm one day.

I know it's a football forum but blimey

There's a Turkish guy who I work closely with who has told me on numerous occasions that there will be a full scale civil war in Turkey within half a decade.

To those who are uneasy about this, it happens all the time in Turkey. The military basically takes over once a government becomes too crazy. Seems ridiculous and tyrannical in the west, but it's probably the reason Turkey isn't a failed state like many of its neighbors.

Many Turks on twitter and reddit seem pretty comfortable with it. Erdogan was arresting journalists and disappearing Kurds, he wasn't fit to lead.

How soon can we send Boris ?

 

[Akai]

Looks like the military is backing Fethullah Gulen who's in the US right now, a year ago the Telegraph published an article explaining the situation in Turkey and how Gulen x Erdogan rivalry started.

It is a strange thought process revolution in turkey and the first thought is Fenerbahce

There will be no second refendum pam. It's over.

Perhaps not. But if you think we're coming out of the Single Market, then you're bong wants confiscating.

Perhaps not. But if you think we're coming out of the Single Market, you're hallucinating.

Time will tell.

TURKISH JUSTICE MINISTER SAYS US-BASED IMAM FETHULLAH GULEN'S FOLLOWERS IN MILITARY ATTEMPTING TO SEIZE POWER

"Halk news in Turkey just put up a banner saying Turkish Army Forces are in charge of Turkey"

Time will tell.

A VAST amount of time, I predict.

Let's hope not. Can someone explain to me what the Turkish pm has done to piss the army off?
