      Right? That country started backsliding democratically a while ago. They’ve suffered from nationalism, populism, and conservatism that landed them essentially a dictator. The fact that trump likes Erdogan should be warning enough that all is not well in Turkey.

      I had a business trip, with some HQ people we visited the partially owned branch of our company in Ankara last year.

      We had a super nice, western MBA educated host from investor relations lead us through the day. It was all going well, until a few drinks into dinner, he shared how the CIA funded the terrorist Güllen to ruin the country, and that’s why they have high inflation, etc. I of course smiled alon, but was surprised he thinks this way.

      I am originally from an eastern European authoritarian country, and 99% of my experience have been that white collar people are cynical and hate the shit government, even if they have to go along with the bullshit propaganda to keep their jobs.

      Also, their capital Ankara is quite the shithole, sorry. It has sparkling skyscrapers, but it’s orders of magnitudes behind in livability compared to even to poor European capitals in the Balkans. Blackouts in a luxury hotel, asphalt breaking off the road an hitting our car, concrete jungle of multi-lane roads with no walkability, fast asshole-style driving (not even letting ambulance pass) causing massive traffic

    People hate us turks for various reasons.

    1. They visited turkey as tourists and were exploited through high prices, haggling, rude and impatient service sector workers

    2. They met some of the brainwashed assholes that are sucking up to the current dictator

    3. They have an immigrant community of turks in their country that don’t assimilate

    4. They are or have connections to a historical group of people with bad blood with turks (serbs, greeks, armenians) NB : I do not think that those people are bad.

    5. BECAUSE TÜRKİYE NUMBER VAN BAYBEE

      Everyone in Germany relates. Though the public image of Turks in Germany was vastly improved after OTHER arabic/african immigrants started coming.

      Also, give back Constantinople.

    Ask Serj Tankian how he feels about the government of Turkiye.

    A not insignificant amount of people probably know as much, or more, about System of a Down than they do about Turkiye… and thus likely know Turkiye as ‘that beautiful, diverse country that is unfortinately still run by an autocrat who won’t acknowledge past/ongoing ethnic repression and genocide.’

        just to clarify, the bird is called perú. Peru (another country) is called Peru (or Perú, i dont remember) and Turkey is called Turquia

        i felt the need to clarify because i feel people might think you meant Perú is how we call Turkey (country).

      In French, Quebec/Canada specifically, it’s called Dinde. A shortening of coq/poule/poulet d’inde.

      Which translates to Indian cock/hen/chick.

      It’s mainly cus settlers brought it back Europe thinking they were in India.

    The bird is named after the country: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_(bird)#Names

    (So now when they’ve renamed the country, the bird ought to be renamed too.)

    The German word for this bird is “Pute”. I guess it’s called after the French.

    source
    • remon@ani.social ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      “Pute” specifically means the domesticated version of the “Truthuhn”.

      source
    • Guttural@jlai.lu ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      The French word is “dinde”, and the ethmology IIRC is “from India”.

      Now, in French, “pute” is a derogatory term for a prostitute.

      • Akasazh@feddit.nl ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        In turkey the bird is named Hindi, after India. In the Netherlands is called after Calicut. In Portugal, it’s called after Peru, however in Arabic it’s an Ethiopian rooster. In Malaysia is called a Dutch bird.

        The explanation is that people through America was India, hence calling it after India a lot (Peru being what Portugese thought was America).

        However the people who first encountered the bird they thought it loaded like a particular woodfoul that was imported from Turkey, calling it a turkey bird.

        India and other Asian countries only know it from European trade, calling it either Turkey, Dutch chicken or something else like fire bird (china).

      • AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        From “poule d’inde”, litterally “hen from India”, which got shortend as such sthings tend to be. And it replaced the delicious Christmas goose for a while because it was “exotic”.
