Bekir Coskun: We just adore being lied to!
Güncelleme Tarihi:
If the Turkish people hit the streets and the city squares every time a prime minister or government minister told a lie, they'd never get the chance to go back home. Yeah, it would be incredible-our people would have been on the streets for the last 50 years or so protesting. They would gasp for breath, sit down in front of the tv, and have to turn around and rush back to the streets to protest some more, as news of the next big lie came in.
It's never been that way though. No friends, forget about just lie-telling, these people of ours don't even speak up when lying administrations steal money meant for babyfood or medicine for the elderly. Not a peep.

This is, on the other hand, why the Hungarians fully deserve their EU membership, their income average, and the fact that they are living in modernity.
And why we don't.
In Hungary, hundreds of thousands of people have spilled into the streets, refusing to leave the city squares, calling for the "liar" to leave.Â
And us?....Well, we can be lead by liars, as well as thieves, fakes, charlatans, and all kinds of opportunists. We have no objections.....
We have no reactions......We never an inch, not even when our national honor is stomped on, our identities toyed with, our most precious treasures stolen.
That's just how we are.....What's more is that we even like to shout "Turkey is proud of you" to the faces of these liars, charlatans, and thieves.
Just turn and take a look around you: no matter how much Turkey grows and enriches itself, poverty,
unemployment, unhappiness, and lack of trust are still written on our foreheads as our collective fate.
Â
And not for nothing....From now on, when I see a Hungarians, I will treat them respect, run to hug them around their necks.
But I turn to look at us, and just feel embarassment.
Â
Here we are, with no objection whatsoever to beinglied to, being tricked, robbed, deceived.
That's just how we are. We have no reactions.....
