those fuckers have some nerve asking you that shit, when we have so much brain drain that most high streets are basically completely catering to elderly people with hearing aid and similar stores on each one, because all the working age people leave to live abroad.

No shit rich foreigners don't want to move to turkey.

source : part of the brain drain for both turkey and the UK. fuck them countries.

My girlfriend and her sister are also in the brain drain. Definitely a sad state of affairs, so many of her friends and friends family's have been either political prisoners, or had ongoing court cases, etc.

I've been trying to learn Turkish so we can move her family over here too and I can actually chat with them, but I fear they'll need to work on their English so they can get around.

wow. I'm assuming the people asking you "wanna move to Turkey?" aren't aware of this.

Best of luck to your gf's family , gurbet recognise gurbet.
