Why didn't you play for Turkey then, when you are so proud of your roots? If it was about your proudness, you would know, how much Turkish people suffer under Erdogan.

He's not political dude

Why does he take pictures with politicians then?

Read, read and read again

It doesn't explain anything dude. He is defending himself, but it doesn't explain and it doesn't excuse the picture and the meeting. At the end of the day he met a dictator, who oppresses his own people every day

First of all you can Not say dictator. Because if he was a dictator when u said like this, you’ll get pinched immediately like north korea. I live in Turkey and Erdoğan never be alone because people with him. You have to learn Respect to Erdoğan.

Taking a picture with the President of Turkey doesn't mean he supports him. He is not a politician so he doesn't get to chose who to take photos with. As a matter of fact, if he had refused to take the photo with the President, that's when anyone can say he is being political.

Hate make them blind for that fact. He is the president. So normal. Mesut never said anything about election or parties.

Exactly my point

It is not about the photos. He wrote on the shirt “For my president!”. It’s not about his roots, it’s about supporting a future dictator of another country by being in the national team of another country.

And if Ozil loves Erdogan it's not your business, it's optional for Ozil and he is as free as u

No as a player for the german national football team he IS not without responsibility and not absolutely free. That is why there is this whole discussion. The german president should be HIS president. And for the german people it is their business cause he represents them.

Playing for Germany is not a result of being German , he is a Turkish and 'papers' won't change his nationality. And he only choosed G. National Team for achievement he didn't change Germany as a nation, as a country.

I understand he choose the national team that pays better and that had more chances in winning than his true nationality. Well then he really should stop playing for germany and start playing for his true nation.But I see that you don’t get the point or the responsibility of a NP

It is okay Mes, don’t let hateful people in the media affect you, you’re better than them, that’s why they talk about you. Never forget that

“Mes”, like he’s your best mate
