About me
I was born in France, I’m both Turkish and French. I really discovered Turkey when I was 20 years old.
I felt the need to express my point of view regarding Turkey and the European Union through this blog. I aim at introducing the prejudices and the unbelievable brainwashing of some media about Turkey to the French and European citizens.
Thus, I created this blog because I’m fed up with watching or reading unfair and subjective news about Turkey.

PS: the mosque on my blog was chosen by the Blogactiv support team (since I didn’t choose any picture). When I saw it, I said to myself: “Why not?”.
Although I do know that this picture may refrain people from reading my articles (owing to islamophobia or to the prejudices towards Islam), I didn’t change it. Because people have to know that Islam, as all our main religions, says: “Thou shalt not kill”.
Well at first I’m Turkish, not Muslim, because I don’t consider myself as Muslim. Actually I’m Turkish of Muslim religion, and being of Muslim religion does not explain my existence. Thus, I want people to consider me as Turkish.
I am of those who strongly believe that religion must remain in the private sphere, because if someone believes in God, they believe for themselves.
If I were Christian or Jewish, I would have thought the same.
To the ennemies of the Jews, I would tell them that I’m Jewish. To the ennemies of the Christians, I would tell them that I’m Christian.
Because we are all equal.
Let’s prevent the dark powers from dividing us.
Because we, the citizens of the world, deserve a better future than the one we are being suggested.
“Peace at home, peace in the world”
This blog is about the relations between Turkey and the EU. And I explain how far some french TV channels and other media are biased regarding Turkey. Imagine that you are listening to Bach or to Kenny Kirkland (or to your favourite song) in harmony. But suddenly, someone is screeching a piece of chalk on a blackboard. That screech that you heard is racism.
