Thanks to Kemal, I believe. He seems to have been a rather unique and far-sighted statesman. I applaud what he did for the country, and hope to visit Istanbul later this year!

We are proud to be Turk and very proud to be MUSLIM !!! from a Belgian Turkish girl!

i was there its so beautiful and buplic transportation is great

[TashaKatt]

May Turkey always remain secular! The recent events make me worry that your beautiful nation will slip into islamic dogma. I traveled for 3 weeks in Turkey when I was 23 and loved it... even as a woman. I am returning in a month for 3 weeks as grown woman after 20 years. I have high hopes - Turkey was one of my fave countries and I've seen many

Don't worry we know! Turkey is a liberal country and one day I will come to Istanbul and I know I will have a great great time! Plus Turkish food is wait!!

[nadelect]

Sweet.I m going to Istanbul in next week, for the first time.Sweet!

[RenkeFromCoast]

As much as I know Turkey is even more secularised than most European countries.
I love Turkey and I think it is an European country which should join the EU very soon...

@Retro90Flashback It's nice to read your comments, obviously based on intelligent observation.

[RAEvren]

Has anyone noticed the Ufo on the sky between 6-8th seconds above the bridge. It is very clear !!

When you think about some of those insane sieges that went down there only a few centuries ago. Im not a great fan of Turkey (nothing against the people or the country itself just not one of my favourite destinations for holiday) but I really wanna take a walk through Istanbul, see Hagia Sophia, the Theodosian Wall the museums

[The_Innovor]

I always thought they were bonitos (palamut). Correct me if I am wrong.

Dear friend. And how about the English other than German in Turkey? Is there many thieves as Paris as well as Prague.I like Istanbul although I never been there before. I will have a chance to visit Turkey, of course Istanbul, in near future. I am interesting on Golden horn where the story about "The fall of Contantinpole" is wrote by Miss. N. Shiono May. 29 1453. Do you have the picture about the real site that the Ottoman attack via Golden Horn. Thanks!

[chipslinofggl]

Where is place that the Ottoman attack the Roman Empire via Constantipole as" The fall of Istanbul May 29 1453". Do you have the actual photo about the key place?! Thanks!

you are just jumping into conclusions now... obviously many tourists can't tell the difference between many cultures and he just wanted to make that clear! the 2 peoples are similar but they are not the same!
