        Good idea

        Only one problem. Turkey will never enter the EU.

        So we might just have to take it back after all

          So you are saying that the Hagia Sophia is now ugly?

          Bull****, it is one of the most wonderful structures in the world, inside more glorious than outside. Only a Greek Nationalist would differ .

              blah blah blah


              And it is not "nationalistic" to state the obvious. That The church has been destroyed inside, the paintings and everything else have been destroyed so it looked better when it was not destroyed.

              Only an islamic muslim wouldn't say that...

                  One of my absolute favorite dishes is a Turkish dish, the name of which I forget. It's basically a tomato stew stuffed into an eggplant. Yum!

                        American food is the best, because our cuisine includes the cuisines over every immigrant group we have.

                          American food is best, that is true- we take native disheds from other land, add sugar and mayonaise and butter and sour cream, and BAM! Americana.
