      Yep, perfect analogy. An enemy of the Turkish Republic hiding beneath a veneer of civility and charm. I suppose the Syrian Civil War was for Erdogan like the Clone Wars was for Palpatine, using it to gain leverage and play the sides against one another. Once the army try to overthrow him, like the Jedi tried to overthrow Palpatine, he reveals himself to be a reactionary Islamist, just like Palpatine was a Sith Lord.

      ​@@mehmetgurdalHere in the USA we don't believe that it is the government's responsibility to take care of the people. We tend to fetishize the idea of individual/personal "responsibility" to an unrealistic degree. It's one of the reasons why universal healthcare is such a difficult sell and also why our "self defense" culture is so extreme. The spectre of governmental over reach is also a major factor in why we are so suspicious of the government doing things "for the people".

Saddam's own mass killings are a convenient scapegoat for this, but anyone with eyes can see the destruction actually makes the American side look about as bad as Saddam in the first place.

      That would be true if our education system would let citizens of our country to build such an outgoing view to the modern world. This is ironic: While this current party in power go against Atatürk′s ″mind your own business″ principle and chase influence in Europe and Middle East, the average Turkish citizen′s view of the modern world became narrower and narrower to the point it's fixated on Erdoğan′s views or opposition′s reactions to those views, dependent on what kind of family and environment the citizen in question has been born into and grew up in.
      The modern world is becoming evermore polarized in the hands of nationalism rising in almost everywhere and the geopolitics of Turkey could build the perfect view of modern societies′ problems and their solutions on its citizens′ mind. But sadly, the only people who can benefit from others′ experiences are the brightest ones, and such a person′s name has been mentioned in the first episode: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The very education system whose foundations he had built himself (Atatürk wrote the first geometry textbook in the country) has been changed so much, now it's a machine that spits out students to take extra 2-4 years in universities only to find themselves in the ever growing army of the unemployed. So all a university graduate in here can think about is whether they can ever feed themselves. There is hardly any place for priceless perspectives on the modern world history on their minds.

    Hi. I am a Turkish Gen Z person. I've been speaking English fluently since age 14. Throughout my early teenage years I have traumatized myself with the racism, discrimination and hate in the Countryball community. Even when they were not openly hateful, majority of Turkey content was biased against Turkish people. So I stopped even looking at any countryball content since then. I gave this video a chance after 4 years and I am so shocked about how objective and correct this video is without any hate or internalized racism. Thank you so much for making this video. It was very entertaining and informative.

Bravo on providing non- Turkish audiences with this magnifcient window into the dynamics of this region.

    As a Turk grew up in a non-religious secular family, I watched all three parts in one go, and it was awesome. This is a thorough analysis of Anatolia and Turkey trying to be unbiased from start to finish. Those videos even revealed me some questions I would've never asked before seeing things through glasses of a third party. I can't thank you enough for your hard work, this was very insightful even for me, who has been living for 30+ years in Turkey. Even though I'm ethnically a Turk, I feel like a minority because I'm a non-Muslim, and I have been getting gradually more concerned and hopeless for my country year by year. Hope everything changes for the better in the future.

When I woke up that day, I sure wasn't expecting to see a 2-hour long documentary by a foreign guy about Turkish history on my CZcams recommendation feed. I immensely enjoyed the whole series, well done sir.
    Most likely because I've lived through it all very recently, I found the only lacking part in these video series was the Gulen-Erdogan dynamics. But that is quite a niche topic for an outsider and very recent therefore I understand there could be a lack of trusted sources on the issue as well. Overall, incredible work.

Things change, Saudis have money to spend and with money comes influence, they're buying land, opening schools and even built a hospital.

    I was enlisted in the Cyprus army at the time the 2016 coup happened, and every single higher up in the ranks at the time was sure the coup was a sham. Apart from the reported cases of soldiers being told that its a drill and not a coup, which might happen in an actual coup, what gave it away in their opinion was that they didn't cut the country's telecommunications. According to them, the first thing you should do in a modern coup, if you are not a complete moron or pretending to coup, is to cut the telecommunications network of the country. The fact that the coup was ongoing and Erdogan was publicly skype calling the Turkish ppl announcing he is fine, plus the fact that not a single one of Erdogan's administration was arrested during the coup, kinda gives it away as a sham coup to give Erdogan a reason to arrest opposition and do a rapid cleanse of the army ranks.

  • @95bekirable
    @95bekirable Před 3 lety +227

    Several corrections i wish to make:
    For the first years of AKP, Erdoğan was just a figurehead. Over the years he took control of the party, kicking out his old allies and filling the party with loyalists. That's when he started to rule Turkey with his own ideology and Turkey changed course, while also taking credit for the developments in the first years of AKP.
    Presidential System does have limitations, a person can be elected as presidently only twice, it's in the constitution. He theorically can't stay in power forever.
    Erdoğan did not.want to change law according to sharia. That bill about rape was a pardoning of statuory rapes for some if they were married. The reason was that many people in the less developed countrysides still marry with minors (unoffical marriages, age of consent is 18 in Turkey, many of those girls at age 15-17 and their husbands barely above 18). These people ended up getting imprisoned for statuory rapes after many years of their marriage. Many wives of such men demanded release of their husbands.
    Young turkish people don't necessarily lean towards left, they simply start to resemble their European counterparts, many Turkish youngsters are openly atheist but their opinions would be considered right wing in Europe.
    2016 coup was staged by Gulen, not by Kemalists. It's a fact. After the purge, many kemalists who were imprisoned in the Ergenekon trials returned back to their positions. I would say the army is more kemalist than before 2016, but they would not risk staging a coup.
    Erdoğan is an islamist who wishes to be caliph, but he can only convince the capabable men to take action if the action would pragmatically benefit Turkey. That's why Turkey's intentions are always blurred, if Turkey follows islamist ideology or just uses religion for its own interests. No matter how strong Erdoğan is, he cannot just send army to wherever he wishes.
    Turkey and Iran have OK relations. Turks and Iranians have nothing against each other. Turkey dislikes the Iranian engagement in the ME but nevertheless both countries have an understanding coming from historic and cultural ties.

      another detail that wasn't mentioned in the video:
      -during the aftermath of the coup attempt, erdoğan created a nationwide paranoia, as he accused his criticizers of being a "fetöcü". this resulted in various dissident journalists or authors being locked up (i guess he did kinda mention that bit in the video, after all one thing everyone knows about turkey is the locked up journalists). the weird thing is that the akp voter demographic was very fond of fetö during their prime while everyone else called akp out for giving gülen and his men enormous influence and power. after the coup, all of a sudden akp voters became the most zealous haters of gülen movement.

      Not really. I can't imagine ever these two to engage in open conflict anytime soon. Turkey isn't Georgia or Ukraine.
      Cold war comparisons are probably more accurate. Especially after we see what has been happening with Armenia and Azerbaijan in the last few days.

    As a 22 year old Turk I must feel to say: Society of Turkish people have to experiencing Erdogan regime. Because Turkish Modernize Movement on path of Ataturk's idea get easier succeeded than European Society aaand that was so unfair. In my opinion Europeans much much paid a price under religious pressure and fascist regime ect. and they learned value of democracy and free press and much much thing like this. Turkish people didn't pay the price. I mean yes, people suffered lots of things, for example political violence, terror, economic crisis and many of things but this problems not solved by society. Now we have a chance. Especially Turkish youngness emulate on agemate from developed countries. They want to free speak on internet, make meme about politicians by freely, better education oppurtunities income equality, solution to the unemployment problem, etc. I believe AKP'll lost the next general elections.
    The new potential government have a great opportunity to create a more equal and free society for people with people from every else.

      So right. Erdogan is a step that we have to endure to progress. He is the inevitable price to pay for progress. Turkish people didn’t have time to mature under strong leaderships and always looking for a savior which Atatürk tried to teach us to do it by ourselves without looking for a leader by finding the strength to do it by ourselves. You sir, you are a wise young Turk who Atatürk wanted for the country. Respect.

    As a brazilian I can empathize with the struggle of finding your place as a develloping nation in the XXth century.
    Even if Brazil and Turkey have histories as different as it can be, many of the instabilities, economical or political, and the dreams of a sovereign, prosper and democractic nation are the same.

    I love how instead of simply glossing over the details and making the 20-minute video on the subject you originally wanted, you went back and explained everything, weaving accurate and interesting narrative threads and themes to make everything seem purposeful. I know a hundred times more about Turkey than I did before this video, and it never once felt like a barrage of miscellaneous information. I never knew about how and why democracy and liberalization co-existed with conservative Islam and all the complications in that relationship. I wouldn’t have been able to understand Turkey’s current position if not for a detailed history like the one you provided, so thank you.

Seriously, you cant learn more than half of this stuff in your Turkish compulsory education of 11 years (I may be wrong about the length but it's around 11) both the negative and the positive knowledge. Which is not okay. Thank you for informing the masses about our entire history in an entertaining style! This was probably the shortest way you can do it though ^^
