    Focaccia in Italian became “pogaca” in Turkish because Turkish is “allergic” to the “F” sound, which doesn’t exist in the original sound stock of the language. In fact, if you see an “F” in a Turkish word, you can assume that the word has been borrowed into Turkish

    Sorry but this is bad taste especially with all the destruction and pain that an invasion is inflicting in Ukraine right under our nose, an invasion should not be wished on any country/nation/people😥😪

    Dear leader of the Turks, we may consider it if you get invaded first 🤣😂

    Putin, Ukrayna’ya yönelik harekatın kolay olacağını, Ukrayna ordusunun doğru dürüst direnemeyeceğini, Kiev’de yönetimin kolay düşeceğini düşünmüştü. Bunlar olmadı ve şimdi Rus lider öfkeli. Yaptırımlarla da köşeye sıkışıyor. ➡️Bu herkes için tehlikeli bir durum
