guys, as a frequent visitor I wish to contradict.
turkey is going in the direction of radical islam, same like iran, erduan is even compared to hitler in local media which is still not that much censored. internet is limited to government allowed websites similar to china.
yes, they are Europian influenced style girls but they are minority, the only turkish girl i bang was in italy, abroad they are open, in turkey very hard.
dont waste your time there, even the summer places in anatolia where many russian visit is infested with local turkish which ruins your chances as of their money oriented behavior.
Having a rather deep connection with Turkey for a multitude of reasons, I cannot agree with this assessment. First off, your spelling of Erdoğan is puzzling, and makes me wonder.
Secondly, regardless of what Erdoğan says, the reality is, is that Turkey is a NATO nation and is largely secular and Western looking. Your objection to the modern Turkey comes from the Eastern, mostly Kurdish part of the state, as well as the bottom of the economic scope of Turkey.
Much of Turkey, at least the portion of the country that has significant influence, has been exposed to Western 'luxury' and embraces it harder than many Westerners. Turkey is hardly falling into any sort of xenophobia, or religious favoritism as a result of what Erdoğan thinks.
My honest assessment is that Turkey will pull away and lead, rather devolve and moderate in this region. There is little religious, social, or economic incentive for them to moderate or peacemake here, believe it or not.
