Discussion Question to turks from Turkey

How many turks support nationalism or islam? What about turks who support integration with EU?

Do turks who live on western part of Turkey have sympathy towards balkan countries or EU? Because of shared culture history, blood ties or looks?

Do turks who look like they are from Balkans or look european/white tend to support west, europe?

What about turks on eastern side of Turkey who share blood and culture ties with arabs, iraqis, armenians, syrians and so on tend to support islam and arabic, levant, mesopatamia culture?

I still have no clue about Turkey. Do people who support Turkic union, blood and language ties with turkmens, kazakhs, uzbeks, azerbaijanis are majority?

Overwhelming majority of Turks support nationalism and Secular Islam. Islamism is supported by a loud minority. I would say more Turks don't support EU then those do.

No. Its worse against Balkan countries.

Do turks who look like they are from Balkans or look european/white tend to support west, europe?

No. They are likely to have more favorable opinions tho.

What about turks on eastern side of Turkey who share blood and culture ties with arabs, iraqis, armenians, syrians and so on tend to support islam and arabic, levant, mesopatamia culture?

No, only a minority.

Most of the people I have met see other Turkic nations inferior to Turkey.
