Mick Amca interviews "Ted" a Russian and askes why have they come to Türkiye?
Russian people have been holidaying in resorts in Türkiye for years, but now hundreds of thousands are coming to live in Türkiye, Ted explains the reasons why and tells his own story about the move.
I fled from Moscow to Istanbul with my family and stayed there for one year. I am very grateful to Turkish people, their kindness and hospitality. Considering current situation in Türkiye, I wish a better future for these wonderful people. A future without a dictatorship. İyi şanlar!
And we wish a better future without dictatorship to you russian people
Being a foreign immigrant to a country and shitting on it's government and people (most people voted Erdogan). That's so very Russian of you. Kinda same mentality like Russian occupants in Ukraine. Turkey should deport this sort of people back to Russia.
Evertime same rule, you feed the dog and it bites,,,
What is your business with Turkish people to insult their elected leader??? Go back to your non dictator ruler of russia

Sure Turkiye is helping Ukraine. yes and many more😂Turkiye is best country for "some" of the Russians, Ukrainians, Syrians, Afghans, Arabs...and many more. Buying proporties, taking advantage of the weaken Turkish lira. Renting them to Turkish people while Turkish people dealing with economic crisis and inflation. Do not forget to tell how beautiful Turkiye is until you get your visa to one of the Europe countries.
The most realistic comment! Thank you!
Thank you for that comment.please get your shit together from turkey.because we don’t want you all in turkey.and for all those Ukrainian lady’s try to go to Germany(more free money,and you don’t have to work for it)

As a Türk, First of all, i welcome to all people..... no one have to get involved in a war that they don't support , and i respect why they leave russia and come here to be far from trouble. If they respect Turkey and Turkish people and culture, life here, ofcourse they can live , but Turkish people is struggling to pay rent or buy house because of this immigration events. Because the other Turkish people raising the rent price more and more when they see that there's a lot of people who just arrived. Newcomers. I don't know , i can't blame russians or Ukrainians or germans or someone else, i think that we Turkish people are hypocrite and we behave cunningly. I think soon Turkey will be belongs to everyone beside Turks. Because arabs, afghans, syrians, russians, everyone else live better than most of Turkish people. But of course this isn't your mistake.. this is what our disgusting government does. Every government first must take care its own people. But , no, they just don't care. So, because of what happens, now Turkish people are trying to go abroad, like immigrants. I mean, my point is that, people leave their homeland, the motherland, because of disgusting governments in their country. İts like All politicians takes orders from devil. And they don't let noone live peaceful and calm and happy in own land. Putin, biden, our supreme leader and others in other countries, all of them are same. They are kid of demons.
You've got a point about considering the immigration flow over the years and you are right in most points. but do you know the benefits it's brought to the country? I agree, it might not have been well organized, but I've been hearing that the governments are working to fix that. This what is really happening thousands are fleeing turkiye right now and investors really fear to come. Unfortunately, there's a recent trend of some Turkish people blaming foreigners for economic issues, which is actually the opposite of what's true if you look into it. For instance, in Algeria my country, we have much more Turkish residents than algerians here in turkiye. and they've contributed significantly to our economy as they run hundreds of businesses restaurants, stores, big real estates making hundreds of million of dollars, petrol and gaz service companies. Do you believe that the biggest company in term of annual turnover in my country is Turkish, a steel process company (don’t you think that this also having great impact on Turkish economy) But eventhough the very hard situation in algeria (much worst than Turkish one) no body would point a finger to them.. everybody see them as brothers and welcome them. It's important for people to see the bigger picture and be more informed about what's happening around them. This misunderstanding negatively impacts tourism and the economy, which is something we all need to be aware of. Hopefully, things will improve for everyone inşallah
England is also struggling with immigration we as British people. Not myself but for many British people it’s also hard to get a job and housing..
I agree about politicians
@@zakariacherifi6619 @zakariacherifi6619 no, i don't think immigration affect Turkey in good way. Not that way, You know why? Because this is out of control. Because our government don't have a plan for these people and for this event. They just let immigrants come. But about integration, adaptation, accomodation, they don't have a plan, they don't even care. They don't care rights Turks and rights of these people who immigrate here also,, they don't even control and record very well who come, who is this person, what is this person in his background, Where this person live and work? He works illegally? Does he has education? Our government don't give a fck. Look, i am really not against immigrants because i do believe that all people have rights to create a new life from 0 in any other country. Everyone deserves better life and new Chance but if you arrive somewhere new, you have to be respectful to this country, its people, its traditions, its women, But we see really strange things, For example, some of syrians and afghans take video record or photos of girls and share in social media, Look, this can be a murderer reason in Turkey and it can cause big terrible things more because of anger. Turkey is not fully middle eastern, we're mixed, Turkey have both west and east culture together sorry but some of these people immigrate from like a few hundred years ago, it's like they see a woman first time, Or they don't know how to act and behave in public, İn beach, in park, in street The Same goes in another country for Turkish immigrants also, they move to Germany or somewhere else but they don't respect nothing İf you come somewhere new for better life You don't fck this place You have to respect it and you have to leave everything behind in your former country, You will not live in a new country like how you lived in your home country. İf this is already you, if this is what you must do, then why you just come here ? Stay where you were Or obey the rules in new place, respect the people in new place. I sometimes see in internet that Eastern people do some protest in England or Denmark like they want seria, Islamic rules, life style And i feel strange You know why? You just left your country and immigrate to a modern western country because of Islamic government model system didn't let you live well enough And now you find freedom in west, now you want to fkc here also with same system because you scream for it in street. What the fck is this ?? İf you think sheria makes you that happy Why you didn't stay in there? Don't bring what destroy your country to the place you've just arrived. İf you just live and work here calm peacefully and with respect the people and culture where you came, I don't have problem with you, But if opposite, i have problem And i don't blame immigrants for Turkish economic crise, yes about high price of rent, they come and this happen because Turkish landlords see them and update price higher But, I blame the only government for everything, Because they steal money, they steal money, , they are corrupt , they suck and get everything belong to country and people.
@@Laylaaahh96 same goes everywhere. Because there is a small rich group with devil politicians, they have everything well, money,. everything, so they don't care what happens with ordinary people, in public. İmmigration is good for country only if you have a smart government and if they do this in a plan.
I was in Fethiye last winter and I couldn't believe how many "Russians" were there. When I walked to the back of the coffee shops in Fethiye all the tables were occupied by Slavic visitors who were doing remote work on their laptops. I use the word "Slavic" here as a general term for Russians, Ukrainians, and some other Eastern European people because I can't distinguish their nationality from their looks alone. In Antalya and Alanya I saw even more Slavic visitors. In Alanya in my hotel there were no Turkish channels on cable TV feed. Most of the customers in the hotel and at the beach were again Slavic visitors. What surprised me the most was when I finally made my way into my hometown Mersin, I saw Slavic visitors there as well. I mean in Mersin? Traditionally Mersin hasn't been a tourist city. Generally speaking Turkish people feel friendly towards the Slavic visitors and the visitors keep a low profile. I honestly wish some of the educated Russians and Ukrainians would stay because they would help the demographic data and enrich the culture.
What a lovely comment. Thank you so much. 🤠🙋♀️
Very good point. I am Slavic myself, not Russian, but Macedonian. Came here and living in Ankara because I married Turkish. Honestly Turkey wouldn't have been my first choice, not just Turkey but any Balkan country. Because we all know Western countries have better standard. Don't get me wrong but I love Turkey very much and it has beautiful language. In the end we are same culture. So, when I came for the first time in Turkey back in 2015 in Antalya on vacation, I was surprised by the number of Russians. Also what surprised me of the number of Russian women marrying Turkish men, that's because Russians are Orthodox like we Macedonians are, Christians. I mean a lot of Christian women marry Muslim men, but I didn't expect that many from Russia. So I just wonder why.
@@thenin4e Yes, I understand. I live in the USA myself. I visit Turkey but because of traffic violations, etc it gets difficult after a while. Why marry Russian women? For Turkish men they're exotic, beautiful. As for Macedonians, my mother is from the Aegean coast from a town called Akhisar. That area received a lot of Macedonian muslim immigrants in the last couple of hundreds years.
Slavic and Macentonia what combination 😂😂😂😂😂😂 probably you are Greek and a you don’t know.
@@konstantinosg2170 yes that's the combination. There's no such thing as a homogeneous and pure nation. Not even the Greeks. The Greeks from the past turn in their graves because for them Macedonians were barbarians and never part of Greece. In fact there wasn't even a thing Greece, there were city-states, all in war with each other. Now, as for how Macedonias became part of the Slavic group, that's because when Slavic tribes have started to migrate from the Carpatians towards the Balkan peninsula, it's then when they have mixed with Macedonians. Understood? Macedonia was never Greek, you and other neighbors have taken parts of Macedonia between the Balkan wars, with the help of England, France, and Russa. And have have made an exodus to the Macedonian people in the Aegean part of Macedonia, there are still there Macedonians whose is denied their language and identity. You poor brainwashed Greeks. I feel so sorry for you. One day, maybe in the next world you will learn how evil is your government. And what injustice your people have done to my people. Now GTF off of my comments, and have a nice life. Signature: a proud Macedonian.
Thank you for pronounce our country name correctly! ❤
On behalf of the Russians living in Fethiye, I want to do what this gloomy guy forgot to say: many thanks to all the Turks and especially the residents of wonderful Fethiye for their hospitality, for your goodwill and willingness to help. I really like the relaxation of the Turks, your sincerity, your attitude towards animals and especially towards children. Thanks to the British and other expats who have been living in Fethiye for a long time and make up a unique symbiosis of European and Eastern cultures. Thanks to Mick for this KZhead channel, which I watched long before moving to Fethiye. My coming here was not the result of saving my ass from mobilization, it was a conscious choice even before the start of the war, and Mick's videos helped me in this choice. Thank you all)
Thank you for such a kind comment
We love you all and thank you for your comments♥
It is very important for Turkey to remain neutral in this war (on paper). This occupation will not continue until the end of the world. Eventually, the two countries will reach an agreement. Russia does not accept Poland or America mediating, and Ukraine does not want Belarus or China mediating. Turkey is the only country that can communicate with both sides. Hopefully, the occupation will end soon. Mick Amca ellerinden öperim. Allah uzun ömür versin sana.

Amazing interview, thank you Mick and Ted, nations don't want war, only the politicians want it. All the best to Russians and Ukrainians
Agree!
So, probably russian government hired all those Russians who is at war, who are throwing bombs from planes and from polygons? Whole country is innocent, who are doing this, than? Ridiculous. The biggest mistake to think that Russians are not supporting this action. They do, or they “out of topic”. Only when it touches their everyday routine, or their relatives came back in black bags, they start to make conclusions
You don't know that nation. I do. I have relatives there. Two cousins, aunt and many nephews. They all say that this mass murder of Ukrainians is a right thing to do and support the terrorists ( rusian army) and love their putin.
All the best to Russians and Ukrainians .what abouth the suriyeler ? dsljfdslnkfsljfs
Regarding the possibilities of being conscripted into the Russian Army. We can look at some of the Russian KZheadrs who do videos just as Mick And Trudie do. When we look at them we see many young people, (Lots of young guys ) going anout enjoying their lives without a care in the world seemingly. They seem to be unmmarried many of them probably with no dependents. Yet they do not seem terrified of being conscripted ? To uproot young children from their education and environment and take them to a foreign nation is no small thing. I'm sure the wirld will be a different place in years to come and other nstions besides America and the European ones will have a bigger say in things. America and its global domination wi one day be no more. I wonder what the children of the "brave" men who fled their nation will think about things then ?
This person is brave. There is a new law in Russia that can put him behind bars for "distribution of fake information about Russian army" even though he was careful not to say something dangerous. I hope he will succeed in moving to Finland.
There is a war in Ukraine. In Russia, people support the war and are not trying to change the government. They just run away like rats.
It's a strange definition of "brave" you have. Factually, the man's a conscription dodger based on his national citizenship.
@@sjv9147s because he believes this war is wrong, and he doesn’t want to be part of it
The world believes that Putin is being unlawful, so is it wrong to not join and not to want to be a part of his ideas?
@@mickandtrudie Bravo 👏 for the believers then.
I’m here in Olu Deniz right now and am staggered by how many Russians are here. Not that I have any issue with it. When their kids and my kids play together, I wonder if it wasn’t for politics and religion, what would be left to really divide us.? Ultimately as people and parents especially, we all mostly share the same values. It’s in our values we should aim to seek unity and put aside invisible boundaries made by politicians.
Thank you for such a lovely comment, and I totally agree with you
Thank you, Uncle Mick, for having this interview, and thank you Turkey for helping so many people in these hard times.

This is 1917 all over again when so many Russians fled to Turkey to escape the Bolcheviks. History has a way of repeating itself if lessons are not learnt. Very sad.
His Story, is planned / Re written, by and told by a few, To the many.
History always seems to repeat itself in Eastern Europe... literally. Let's just hope the Russian Civil War 2.0 doesn't happen again
They don't know history because they don't teach it. Ask a Russian to tell you what they learned about the Revolution and both World Wars. It's insane.
LOL 😂 I'm a History teacher ... and I can tell you don't know much about history ! Funny how people confidently make a link with a past event just after reading a book about the Bolsheviks... or maybe after watching a couple Hollywood movies.
@didierdenice7456 who first taught you Stories....was it His Story. LOL
Hopefully, they'll be more respectful as residents than as holiday makers and return to their homeland when peace is restored
They are very peaceful I lived there for 5 years.
They can't go back unless they want to be prosecuted.
@DJIDroneTravel Perhaps in their own country they are, but having been on holiday in Sharm over 40 times and now in Turkey countless amount of times they're not very respected
Hello! I live in Fethiye. I feel for all Slavic people, Russian or Ukrainian, all kind-hearted people. I hope the war ends soon and they return home and the families live happily together. I wish them to live peacefully during their time in Türkiye.
You can say Türkiye,please.
I look forward to them being able to RETURN home.

It touches my heart and brings back everything what me and my family and my people went through in the 90s and unfortunately because of the bad political solution people of Bosnia still live in agony. It will take a time to build the bridges for communication with Ukrainians and they need the time to heal because the pain of their trauma is something they will have to learn to live with. Brave and honest people like Ted will definitely help to slowly build the trust between Ukrainians and some Russians but it is a very slow and painful process. Thank you for the video and good luck to Ted, his family and all others in similar situations.
No trust is possible between us he killer and the victim. Think about it, offering this between Ukrainian and Russians. Genocide can’t be tolerated. Russia is a country aggressor, and Russians are killing people of Ukraine and invaded sovereign territory of this state in 21 century as barbarians, it is a massacre. This is an existential point.
Amazing interview, thank you Mick and Ted
You can tell that Mick is almost enforcing Western propaganda/view of this conflict between the USA and Russia on viewers of this video. He asks questions and he answer them himself. This Russian guy is too shy or his English is not strong enough to express himself.
Exactly. This is totally farcical.
Rubbish who's the aggressor?
Russian government bans them from talking too much whether true or not
İngiliz oyunu. Bütün dünyayı birbirine düşürür sonra çekilir izler.😂😂
The chap you interviewed, I think he was very brave in what he was saying about his country. I was in the army when the Cold War was on, and this is the way Russia is going back to, and I bet he watches over his shoulder, even living here. Good interview.
Great interview, and it was nice to see some different type of content.
Very informative video thank you both for the content
So funny, amazing and, at the same time, disgusting to read comments like "I feel for the Russians who fled the war..." Just wait a little - is there any war in Russia, have I missed something? Is there a single house in Russia destroyed by a missile or a bomb? Are there tens of thousands of civilians killed in Russia by invaders? The answer to all these questions is "no", since the war is going on in Ukraine and it is exactly Russians who started the war and keep killing Ukrainians. Actually, those you are "feeling for" are not against this war, they just want to watch it on the internet or TV from a distance... Over 80% of Russians do support Putin's invasion of Ukraine, no matter what they say aloud about it in their interviews, especially when interviewed in safe places like Türkiye. No matter how and when this war ends, there will never be any peace between the two nations again - Ukrainian kids will always remember all those nights they spent in bomb shelters and basements.
@hardlyever6116 - I feel very sorry for Ukrainians, but we should also feel for the educated Russians who are against Putin's dictatorship and this stupid war.
Very informative. Good luck to all. Keep well
Good interview Mick. Well done..
very interesting interview. thanks for this valuable video
My brother is alumni of Ted Ankara College, Canadian British accredited, Metu Computer and Machinery Engineering alumni, he works at Tai Factory Ankara Turkey as Computer programmer and MCSE Microsoft certificate holder earns only 1200 USD per month in Turkey for 20 years time.

I see comments about rent going up in turkey in regards to greedy landlords charging highest prices possible for their properties’ this is not just happening in turkey let me tell you this rental property problem is happening in the 4 nations of the British isles our own people are homeless because of GB 🇬🇧 taking so many thousands upon thousands off immigrants in to our country but someone must help them we can’t leave them to perish’ long story short the world is suffering because of certain political leaders thank you uncle mick for sharing your video
I totally agree, Margaret
Absolutely correct. And in foreign currency, the rents are fine. Considering the inflation, the rents increased less than the real inflation.
Çözüm basit Amerika ve İngiltere'yi yer yüzünden silmek gerekiyor. Çünkü bütün bu göçlerin sebebi bu iki fesat ülkedir. Bütün dünyayı karıştıran ülkeler bunlar. Adaletsizlikler savaşlar tarihe bakın İngilizler ve şimdide amerikalılardır. Zaten akraba bunlar. Bütün dünyayı yüz yıllardır sömuruyorlar. Nerde bir savaş varsa oradan ya bir İngiliz yada bir amerikali geçmiştir . Amerika'nın Suriye'de Irak'ta Afganistan'da Libya'da etc. Ne işi var? Amerika nerde bu ülkeler nerde? Düne kadar şeytan İngilizlerdi şimdi amerikalilar. Ve emin olun Rus Ukrayna savaşı da bu ülkeler yüzünden çıktı. Eğer kör değilsen gayet açık görünüyor herşey
Barely any Russians or immigrants in Sivas. All dominating Antalya.
The people freelancing and bringing Turkiye foreign currency are actually helping with the economy. They are growing the pie. With that said, Turkiye is not a free buffet where anyone can come and make the life more difficult for the local residents by adding to the inflation ( the produce need to feed 100 million instead of 86 now, finding houses for rent or sale is a challenge if not impossible) and by diluting the Turkish culture with their traditions. Of course we are all for helping the people who had to flee their country for any reason and yet, Turkey had major problems of it's own before, now we are struggling to deal with a new kind of beast.
We understand these difficulties and we have Turkish friends in this situation. Hopefully things will be better in the near future. İnşallah

a frank talk. well done to both !
This interview is was the mainstream media in the West comparing Russia to 1940s Germany and North Korea I think is wrong.
I feel for the Russians and whoever has to leave their country and start over in a different place. It's a tough challenge. I immigrated to Australia from Iran and I completely understand the culture shock and language barrier issues new immigrants face. Good interview Mick. I love your videos.
There is a war in Ukraine. In Russia, people support the war and are not trying to change the government. They just run away like rats.
I'm in oludeniz at the moment and i was talking to a stall holder about the Russians the stall holder was saying they're not friendly people and are very rude. I myself have noticed they're quite rude people. But can't tar everyone with the same brush but that's the general feel in oludeniz
Slavic inferiority complex.... Western political class, aristocracy, elites never saw Russians as Europeans they saw them as backwards, primitive people so when they come to our country they all about showing off they think like they are superior ....Their mindset stayed in 19th century and Soviet regime didn't helped to change that....They will live in a Khushcovka commie block apartment but they will act, speak down to you like they born and raise in Buckingham palace...I worked with them in Antalya a lot back in the days I am very aware of what runs in their dna how they view themselves and how they view others

Mike, Greetings from London! Thank you for making these videos for my country and I am grateful for your love of Turkey. Turkey has been a land of refuge for many people in many centuries. I grew up in Istanbul in 1970s and 1980s, have seen a flax of Iranians after the revolution in Iran, seen many people from Ruanda and other parts of Africa in 1980s and 1990s, now of course have a lot of Syrians, Afghans and Russians perhaps Ukrainians too. In some way, it is an honour to have people finding safety in Turkey, but also as you know this comes with many problems too. In that way, I think UK also had been a refuge in a different way to many people. Best wishes.
Very informative interview Mick Amca. I’m sure many people have had the same questions in mind - keep up the good work
Ted is a brave and courageous man. I understand he is taking significant personal risk when speaking out openly of his mind. I wish only the best for him and his family.
Apologies for the typos by the way. I cant find any edit facility.
As a British tourist, I can buy Russian currency. I collect banknotes and their notes are very unusual. I can greet them too in Russian.
I hope situations in Russia get better soon so they can get back to their home but I wish the very best while they are here because they are actually running from a war.
Situation in Russia? It’s like.. Russia will stop to be authoritarian system, killing neighbours? It is not alien attack, it is what Russians are doing, exactly. And those who left their country are not very against it, in majority

All Mick was doing was instead of giving his perspective, he asked the Russian to give us some background. I think Mick was not being political, just giving us an insight into the teasons and difficulties in tge influx of these people in Fethiye and Turkiye.
James, I wanted to highlight the fact that many people around the world are trying to escape conflict, and I feel we should not rebel or be angry with these people for relocating somewhere else 🤠
The early part of the interview was better than the latter part. The Rusdisn guy was definately nit very fluent on the English language. He was very slow and halting. Maybe a translator could have been used. Its unfortunate that towards the end mick put a few words in the guys mouth (Watch it again) Mick called putin "Crazy" The fact that he did this made me dislike the video.

I'd noticed a lot of Russian and Ukrainian visitors to Türkiye 3 years ago with most restaurants showing prices in ₽. Similarly, in April around Fethiye there was a lot of Russian spoken. Back at the time of Vietnam, Americans were going to Canada to avoid conscription. This is no different really. Fascinating video Mick. Thanks for shining a spotlight on the issue.

This was very important and enlightening for me. To hear that, as with the U.S., the military industrial complex has considerable influence in Russian geopolitical policy, just confirms for me that, collectively there is a global effort to gaslight everyone to forward a global elitist agenda. My prayers and best wishes to all the hard working and great people of Russia and Ukraine, who have to endure this unnecessary idiocy. Unfortunately, I know we in the U.S. are not far behind, as well as Europe
So strange that others dont see this from our angle (Americans). The war was started by the West to further monetary gains for a few folks with the help of govt intervention. Putin to me seems the only one who actually is looking out for the interests of Russia as a nation.....otherwise, Russia would be in control of other 'interests.
Let us hope and pray Mick that this terrible conflict soon ends and they have a peaceful settlement. So many young men have lost their lives its horrific, if one of our western nations had sustained these huge losses their would have been uproar even in these apathetic times. There would have been calls for talks.
very interesting interview … he is very courageous … good luck to him and his family 🙏🙏
Türkiye is under invasion! Nobody knows exactly how many Syrians are settled in Türkiye with temporary resident status! Millions and millions of them! And none of them want to go back, even if the things are settled pretty well there now! In addition to that disasterous millions, every single day more and more Afghans, Pakistanis and Africans (almost all single young men) are carried to Turkish borders and settling in Türkiye illegally, like illegal border crossings from Mexico to the USA. Iraqis and Iranians also acquire citizenship in record numbers by purchasing real estates. The granting of citizenship by purchasing real estate should be abolished immediately. When will the borders be strengthened against illegal crossings? And how come Russians can get residency permit in Türkiye that easily? If all these nightmarish circumtances are not indicating a fire alarm, I really don't know what else we need to wake up and take immediate actions. No happy ending with these extremely reckless, indifferent and ignorant policies. Watch out Türkiyem, beware!
Do you think it’s the fault of the government?
@@mickandtrudie yes and no. though I dont like the current government, I can easily see and understand the fact that the "powers" that be are forcing the hand of our government. Either you get along with the WEF agenda or you get your economy destroyed. In Turkiye's part it was becoming a melting pot for all the refugees all across the globe. The term inbetween refugee and migrant should be and stay different. We don't have any problem with migrants, who would invest and work in our country and would rather integrate themselves into our culture and society atleast to the point not loosing their own cultural identity. I don't see any problem with that. But can't say the same for refugees, they're given free welfare and healthcare, a better education for their young, getting into better schools without any going through any exam or the hustle citizens have to, can do tax free investments and take the earnings out of the country easily, all monetary support and welfare support for each and every kid they bring here or have here while the actual citizens dont recieve anything similiar to that... the list could go on for hours. Put aside the fact that they're seuxally harassing our women on a daily basis, they think that the Turkish women are booty of war, anyways I dont want to go into that subject here because the liberals of my country who align themselves with Globalism and cultural Marxism easily will also easily jump on me and accuse me of being fascist or so... The Russians can stay, as long as they dont turn out to be sleeper agents :D :D im kidding.
@@mickandtrudie the government is filling their coffers on their own people's expense, somehow their ridiculous monetary policies must be financed. Erdogan was asked before the election if he's going to do something about the immigrants and he said "we're not going to change anything".
dont worry how we send armanians greeks one day we will send all migrants and refuges
And you basically export them to EU 🤬
Mick Amca Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel video için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍
Önemli bir konuya değinmişsiniz Mick Amca. Bu güzel ve yararlı video için teşekkür ederim.
Anywhere in the world accumulation of russians is a Troyan Horse
Exactly and so many ppl from western countries do not understand this. They try to analyze their behaviour through the western democracy point of view and that is useless since their modus operandi is completely different.
In Bali and Thailand as well
Strange that most have been told to leave after there residency expired but they won’t the only ones who like them is the landlords. Feel sorry for the normal Turks/Kurds who are being kicked out of there homes. Funny how none left before putin conscripted men must of been ok to stay in Russia then
It’s warm, that’s why 😍
Here in Canada we are also moving towards like north korea with little steps.
They are even in Mersin. Because the apartments there are cheaper. And now, according to this Russian program, apartments there are becoming more expensive. kzhead.info/sun/fsaoac1xo4OBkpE/bejne.html There are many similar programs in Russian that give people information about which countries and how to immigrate. I know Russian language, so I know the general situation there. And recently I saw a video that was watched by over a million people: some guy says don't come to Turkey, the government has changed the laws again and is not giving residence permits. And some Russians in Alanya, under this video, complained about what we will now do with the apartments, cars that we bought here, it’s like we are trapped and don’t know what to do next, since we couldn’t get a residence permit.
These are some other programs that promote migration: kzhead.info/sun/hNOCgdiSmqqQi3k/bejne.html kzhead.info/sun/qbWRZ5eFfZ9qhX0/bejne.html kzhead.info/sun/erh9ls-DbnqXh30/bejne.html
I am Turkish and live alone in Ankara. I can host our Russian and Ukrainian friends who come to Ankara for business without any compensation.🙋
Affedersin, slavlar ne zaman senin arkadasindi. Senin zamanin hic degeri yok degilmi degersiz insan, git zamanini bedavaya dagit!
Compared to area of Turkey, Australia area is 9 times larger than Turkey, Russia is 20 times at least larger than Turkey, Brasil area is 8 times larger than Turkey, Argentine area is 5 times larger than Turkey.
How brave and how humble is this man. I’ve been educated by watching this simple and honest conversation.
Sometimes we find something majestic and beautiful. It lives parallel to all these Grammys. Probably the way it should be.
Gelmesinler
Turkey is a very diversified country that has tons to offer. Turkish people are very kind. Kurds in the South are even kinder. The weather is great. Food is superb. Culture is outstanding. What's not to like in Turkey? BTW I spent a month slow crossing Turkey by motorcycle on my way to Georgia and Armenia and will return to Turkey.
❤❤❤
Was this interview done in Sunset Beach Resort in Calish? It looks like it a lot; I used to live there! I miss that neighborhood.
It’s in our garden in Çalış 🤠
@@mickandtrudiegorgeous garden. So peaceful.
It is the garden of a block of apartments 😂🤠
@@mickandtrudie really well kept. Great interview by the way. Thanks for showing the Russian perspective. All humans suffer in war. Only monsters benefit.
oh .. ok; it looked a lot like Sunset Beach and remembered many Russians lived there. - thanx @@mickandtrudie
I have heard that because of the amount of Russians etc that have arrived in Turkey , house prices have gone through the roof.
It depends where in Türkiye ? foreigners who come here mostly go near resorts but they only make up about 5% of the housing the rest is movement of Turks from the earthquake areas and the cities after covid most rentals are Turkish owned by the wealthy Turks who have bought 2nd and 3rd homes in resorts but they are mostly empty in winter 🧐🤠
Yes, definitely they did, especially in Antalya and Mersin!
It must be of concern that Russian spy services have followed them. It's not like they are in the witness protection programme. I wouldn't be surprised if elements of the Russian mafia have also moved there. I hope I'm wrong but the thought of it is disturbing especially as I keep looking at property there for my own retirement. I truly hope I'm wrong .
Let's be honest, most have come to avoid the war/draft and take advantage of what a beautiful country Turkey is. It's not just the Russian's ! The are plenty of Ukrainian's flooding in as well, with Zelensky getting more out of control as a dictator. Just returned from our 2nd Turkey holiday and the is no mistaking the worry from Turks/Kurds alike about rent/house prices going up.
How do they got visa for long stay?
Welcome to Türkiye
Adamsın Mick
I am very happy with your post, in general I like them/yours anyhow, but doing a different and relevant for expats is VERY good. Looking forward to see more (for example Ikamet (extention), taxes (on pensions), .... Total cost of living is also interesting, we have a kind of decadent living we spend EUR 2300 pm (we own apartment) (but inclusive alcohol and cigarettes EUR 3000 pm (all-in)), in presentations from Germans it is much lower (which upsets me quite a bit). People in general do not count for many things (Restaurants, Aidat, Internet, local taxes, health insurance (we pay EUR 200 pm for the two of us).....) My opinion no way you can have a comfortable life below EUR 1000 pm As for our complex, Russians/Ukrainers, it goes fine as far as I can see between them. I think they consider themselves of being residents of the complex rather then citizens of their country (good!) As a PS you are one of the few blogs/vlogs English speaking, so much in Russian and in German (perhaps too much), keep things up as you do. COMPLIMENTS
Hello Mick and Trudie, Not really linked to this topic, but I am just curious how it works with extention of Ikamet (I think you are retired (apologies) so you are income). We have enough capital, own apartment in a closed district, I think nothing to worry, but can you make a post on extention of Ikamet?
❤
Thankfully we in Britain didnt have to flee to other countries a 20 yrs ago, when we launched a war based on lies, known lies at that. A war that cost the lives one million Iraqi people by informed estimates. Besides the cruelties and atrocities meted out. We managed to fight with our allies without resorting to that. Or having to drag men young and old of the streets to fight on the front line with very little training. This has been known to happen in Ukraine.
Very well done. I think he is typical of Russian who do not agree with the politics in Russia and have left. Most of the Russian I have met are well educated and polite.
First of all I want the war to end and secondly is one of the best interview I watched thank you mick amca ❤️
