I live an hour from Ukraine ~ How are things in Turkey?

This video is a response to the questions and messages I've been getting. I don't have more information than is shown in the media but I can offer my perspective as a neighbor of Ukraine.

So sad to say that but we literally got used to seeing a war or a conflict in countries around us. georgia, azerbaijan, armenia, iran, iraq, syria, israel, palestine, lebanon, egypt, libya and now ukraine and russia

Russianization, is a form of cultural assimilation in which non-Russians, whether involuntarily or voluntarily, give up their culture and language in favor of the Russian culture and the Russian language.The assimilation policy was initiated in the Turkish lands occupied during the Tsarist Russia period. First, the Turks were tried to be assimilated by being Christianized. It was aimed to change the culture and language of the Turks by opening Russian schools in this region. Turkish families' lack of interest in Russian schools rendered the assimilation policy ineffective. After the Turkish provinces were captured during the Soviet Union, the use of the name "Turkistan" was banned in Russian maps and books. Then Turkistan was divided into five separate republics. The use of different dialects was made widespread in order to disrupt the unity and solidarity among the Turks. It was claimed that Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz and Turkmen were forcibly Turkified. Accordingly, the languages ​​of these nations, their unique history and literature were systematically mentioned. Thus, the unity of the Turkic communities in Turkestan was tried to be disrupted by revealing the feelings of arrogance such as Uzbekism, Kazakhism, Turkmenism, Kyrgyzism. The Soviets decided to print a 10-volume "History of the Soviet Union". The parts that explain the special historical development of non-Russian nations were not included in the work. Works on the national spirit in literature were banned. The Soviets systematically destroyed mosques and masjids in these Turkish provinces and nationalized the properties of their foundations. They closed the schools and madrasas that trained clergy and imprisoned and exiled the leading Muslim clergy. The remaining few mosques, although open, were closed to worship. While hundreds of thousands of Turks were taken from Azerbaijan and Turkistan as workers and settled in other parts of the Soviet Union, they settled Russian and non-Russian nations, with the claim of ensuring economic development. The purpose of this migration movement, which continued for years, was to bring the non-Russian nations together in a pot and to destroy their national feelings. The Russians wanted to break the cultural ties of Turkey and Turkistan. For this reason, in 1924, they switched from the Arabic alphabet to the Latin alphabet, and upon Turkey's acceptance of the Latin alphabet in 1928, they switched to a mixed Latin alphabet system with the "Russian Cyrillic" letters for the Turks. I hope that in the future, Ukrania will gain full independence and freedom like our other Turkish brother countries get rid of Russian assimilation and colonization.

Hey Chelsea how are you doing?Do you still live in İzmir?Have a lovely days

[@RecepRC]

Hey Chelsea Don't make Turkish subtitles for your videos anymore. We are watching your videos to improve our English. You are a native speaker and this aspect is something we need. Especially something I need. We already know Turkish from babyhood 😁 Which person did force you to make Turkish subtitles for each of your videos at the time. I honestly need to develop my listening skills. Dont need Turkish subtitles. You can just speak Turkish from time to time instead. Love from İstanbul ☺

Great blog I was going to ask what the inflation rate compare to USA? Like right now we are nearing 8.5% . I heard Turkey inflation rate is like 37%. That’s why I am asking.

How do you get residency there and how can you renew/extend it?

[@ChelseaElizabethIZMIR]

After you arrive you should apply with the link in the description box. At the end of the application they’ll give you an interview date. Renewal seems to be changing so much this year, it’s best to call 157 when you arrive for the most up to date info because it’s literally changing monthly.
