paying homage to Thrifty's ' things u shouldnt say in Turkey' a slight variation.
1) Oh sorry! were u in the queue?
2) ( Whilst a passenger in a taxi) '' I think I should give that other car way'' or '' The lights are red, I should stop'' and even '' I really must indicate more'' |

"I have nothing against curds, armenians or greeks, I think we're all brothers"
Now, I'm asking for too much, right? |

Are you suggesting that Turks are racist? |

I wouldn't be surprised to hear myself saying while bargaining:
Yapma ya, Vallahi Billahi yemin ediyorum, T�rk parası kazaniyorum, n'olur �alışıyorum, coğum var, |

I have heard Turks say that. Many Turks hate the PKK, not the Kurds. They are angry because of Armenian genocide accusation but do not hate Armenians. And after my 10 million years in Turkey, I have yet to hear anything bad said about Greeks.
I find Turks to be very "brotherly". |
