Brave man.

Imagine a country putting a bounty on an athlete who wants freedom and speaks his mind.

Ever since that dubious coup attempt Turkey's been on a path eerily reminiscent of Russia's in the early 2000's. It's a proper shame that Finland's and Sweden's accession to NATO hinges on the whims of that wannabe Sultan.

no, that is too broad a picture, its a certain element in Turkey whose boots are to big for his feet.

Not only Turkey’s conservatives but also seculars despise Enes Kanter. He is a hardcore Gulenist.

The Greeks should not fall into those emotional exploits from Gulenists. We are already a nation that respects the Greeks. You guys do not need to seek the peace and respect between us from those CIA rats and leftover cult remnants.. We are Aegean/Mediterranean people who have fun, sing songs playin sirtaki, drinking raki/ouzo etc Such people are not only against Erdogan but also against the secular order. In short, don't take their words seriously.

Well said Cemal, such a message of hope is welcome, and too far and few here.

Erdo… he’s what he is. He has irritated me more than once in the past, but I try to keep in mind he can’t bore me more than turks living in Turkey actually dealing with his politics on a daily basis.

Aegean Sea and disputed water and migrants are one thing, at the risk of upsetting everyone I do agree that on both side of that sea, you guys have more in common than it’s assumed, and I like both too.
