Don't listen to the guys above. They are completely brainwashed to anything Turkey does. ( See how this is not an argument? )

( The more you ignore the wrongdoings of your country, the more your own population suffers. And you are the one causing it to yourselves. Case in point the eradication of freedom of speech with the thousands of arrests and the extremely high inflation)

Unfortunately, they are all pretty similar in some respects. Turkey had thousands of citizens arrested in the past years and freedom of speech and expression are severely curtailed.

Moreover, they follow an expansionist policy and try to distort history and treaties to suit their own needs as well as heading towards ultranationalism.

And let's not talk how they treat minorites and immigrants.

It's a shame since they do not see that the worse they let everything become, the more they themselves suffer.

When someone acts like a bully and makes warmongering threats, they will be called out. People who don't want to be ostracized need to correct their behaviour or put up with being called out.

Yes we are obsessed with violations of human rights, encroaching on another nation's sovereign territory and any other despicable behaviour. It is called Western ideals which originated together with freedom of speech and freedom of expression in Greece. Those ideals were later adopted by European nations. It is called being decent towards others, no matter the hard choices.

Sometimes the hardest road and choice is the morally correct one, although not the most profitable

Turkey is a dictatorship. They have arrested thousands in the last couple of years in an effort to prosecute freedom of expression and thought. They will never be on par with Western nations and their ideals, at least for several decades.

Even as NATO allies they are just a liability. Kick them out until they learn to respect basic human freedoms
