Ertugrul Ozkok: A warning letter to Onur Oymen

I have some information for CHP second in command Onur Oymen. There was some Turkish land that was taken secretly from Turkey to another country. How? Let me explain. Last Saturday I was taking a tour of the Reichstag, which as most everyone in the world knows, is Germany's parliament building. The following words are inscribed over the entrance to the building: "For the German People." After entering the building through the visitor's entrance, you go up some stairs and come to a hall which looks out onto a courtyard.  The courtyard is covered in green plants and grass, and there are two big words written here, on the ground. In Turkish, they translate as "Halka" or "To the People."  The Reichstag tour-guide fills us in on as we walk around. Apparently, the German MPs had wanted to bring pieces of land from their own regions to plant in this courtyard. Many had, and one in particular had done something very interesting.  This is where I would like to draw Onur Oymen's attention. The Green Party MP from Berlin's Kreusberg district, a man named Hans Christian Strobele, said at the time "I have many Turks living in my electoral district." So saying, he took a trip to Turkey, returned with a piece of land, and put it in the courtyard of the Reichstag. I am just doing my citizenly duty and telling this story as a warning to Onur Oymen, who has come out against the sale of housing and land to foreigners in our country. Because the symbolism of the Germany Parliament's courtyard is strong. Tens of thousands of Germans own houses in Spain. Around 143,000 Turks own houses in Germany. Alanya (on the Turkish coast) is beginning to resemble more and more a European city with its growing German population. All of Europe understands this, with the exception of Turkey.  Allowing foreigners to buy houses is really a profitable thing. Because the majority of these house purchases are made by retired foreigners. Almost all of them have made their money in their own countries, and are spending it in Turkey. And you see, the German Parliament, in the most nationlistic symbol of their government, their own parliament building, are globalized enough to put foreign soil into the courtyard of the Reichstag. While Turkish MPs fight against sales of houses and land to foreigners.  Some other things that struck me while I was touring the Reichstag: the building's architect was an Englishman. The chef of the restaurant where the MPs eat is a Turkish man who emigrated to Germany 11 years ago from Mersin. It would seem that the mindset of EU is developing differently from ours. And so I would ask Oymen, and all the other Turkish MPs who think along his lines, this question:  Do you really want Turkey to enter the EU, or don't you?Â
