This is why the rest of Turkey calls İzmir "kâfir". They are the most secular bunch. They are also very pro-ataturk. AKP's projects for that region include bringing migrants to dilute the voter population.

This is nothing to do with the current issue at hand. Istanbul was just as liberal and nice of a city as anywhere else, but then the last decade happened.

Maybe if as a people we stopped thinking in terms of funny plots like "they are trying to dilute the peeps" and opened our eyes to the facts before our eyes, we'd be in a better shape.

Yes, I am sure everything you have to say is going to save the country. Maybe we should meet over a drink?
Wrong! Only erdogan supporters would call izmir that way. And they are not rest of Turkey! They are between %40-%50 maximum.
