¿Qué pensaís los Españoles sobre los Turcos y Turquía?

Hi, I'm Salva, I translate the answers as I promised, don't know if you understand them or not:

David: that turks are from Turkey.

Arthurex2000: first of all, I don’t know why people from “La Coruña” (a Spanish city) and the Deportivo fans are called “turks”. With regard to Turkey, I think it’s a country that is doing a big effort for democratize and respect the human rights, but I don’t think it can join the EU due to its cultural and religion differences.

6ºizq: I think there are two very different “Turkeys”: Atatürk’s Turkey and the one that I like the least (the theocrat one). I rather the Turkey of the Ottoman Empire than the Anatolian Turkey, too muslim. I think it’s sad that you (the Turks) have incorporated Islam to our politics instead of integrate yourself with the West. I Think it’s a mistake as far as you-all are concerned. Nevertheless, you have a beautiful country. I only know Istanbul, been there more than 25 years ago, and Ephesus.

Nino*: I love turkish food! Unfortunately many Turks behave badly in some countries like Germany. I have nothing against the Turks. Best wishes!

* He's not Spaniard because of how he wrote. "Lastimosamente" is a word probably used in Latin America, but very rare in the Spanish (language) from Spain.

Can't understand why he said that about Germany!!! He obviously don't know what happens in Ludwigshafen and other towns where many Turks have been killed by racists. That DOESN'T mean that all germans are racist, of course.

EDIT: Ayesha said: well, I love Turkey because you're between the exotic East and the West. Souqs (bazaars) should be marvellous. I hope I could visit it soon. I have good turkish friends, they're very nice, cute and beautiful. You all are very handsome!!. You're made of different stuff. I know who's a Turk, it is evident on your faces and gestures. Kisses

creo que hay dos turquias muy distintas entre si, una la de Ataturk y la otra que me gusta menos,la teocrata. prefiero la turquia del imperio otomano a la turquia de la parte de anatolia, demasiado musulmana . creo que es una pena no que hayais echado el freno a la integracion a occidente de Ataturk, para incorporar el Islam a vuestra politica. me parece un error de vuestra parte. despues de todo esto, tienes un pais precioso, solo conozco Estambul, fui hace mas de 25 años, y Efeso.

Pues a mí e encanta, porque estais a caballo entre lo oriental y exótico y lo occidental. Los zocos deben ser una maravilla, ojalá pueda viajar pronto para allá. Y tengo muy buenos amigos turcos, que son lindísimos, majísimos y monísimos todos!Qué guapos sois! Estais hechos de una pasta distinta, sé cuando una persona es turca, porque se os nota en la cara y los gestos.

Un beso.

la comida turca me encanta.Lastimosamente hay muchos turcos que se portan muy mal en paises como Alemania.No tengo nada contra los turcos.Saludos!

En primer lugar, no sé por qué a los coruñeses y a los hinchas del Depor le llaman turcos.

Respecto a Turquía creo que es un país que está haciendo un gran esfuerzo para democratizarse y respetar los derechos humanos, pero no creo que por cultura y religión pueda integrase em la UE.

QUE LOS TURCOS SON DE TURQUIA
