You guys need to chill with the blind nationalism. Why are y’all so pressed in the comments? did anyone say turkey had the moral high ground because I didn’t see anything suggesting that. This is just facts that are being reported no one saying it means Bangladesh is inferior. why do you guys take voicing issues or noting political unrest so personally? Would you rather it be swept under the rug because that doesn’t solve anything. it just fosters more problems and that’s putting it lightly.
