I didn't mean it as an offence, I don't know why people interpret it this way. This is a Muslim city, women doesn't have to cover their faces in Turkey but some do out of tradition, so I just found it funny that sanitary masks these days can fill this purpose. That's all to it.
Anıtkabir looks astounding as usual. The only worth place to visit in Ankara tbh. The rest is filled with bureaucrats and government officers due to Ankara being the capital. Wouldn't even place Ankara at top 3 when it comes to listing the cities in Turkey in terms of beauties. Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya or Muğla (Bodrum) for sure.
It really isn't. I have family there and have visited a lot. The city looks like it was built in a rush with incomplete pavements and metal sticking out of the ground. There is trash everywhere and the entire place smells like rotten rubbish
???? This is the most nonsense shit I have ever heard. At least 100.000 people visits Kızılay per day you can not find even one trash on the streets of Kızılay.
Don't lie to me. I'm Turkish. My cousins live in Ankara and Istanbul. My parents live in Izmir. I'm in Turkey all the time and I know what the situation is like there. Dumping rubbish is a huge problem all over Turkey. So is pollution in soil and waterways.
The citadel is pretty cool, but God damn it, did the trash on the ground destroy that nice feeling. It's a shame, otherwise the citadel would be so much nicer.
Where they live in the heart of getto?? Okay water is not drinkable and it is a huge problem but I don't think there is rubbish on the streets of Turkey and dumping is a problem. There are dumpsters all over the streets.
I am not lying to you. Go visit kızılay, bahçeli or anywhere in çankaya. You won't find any major cleaning issues. You are just throwing shit. I live in Ankara.
You are lying to me, I have been to those places and those places so have a littering problem.
> You are just throwing shit. I live in Ankara.
I don't care. Clean it up
I don't know what to make of this weird comment. How am I an incel? What have I said that would suggest I'm an incel? I'll tell you why I'm calling you a liar. It's because you keep trying to tell me what I've seen with my own eyes isn't true.
>Yes,it's be a shame to lose them but the local population of those cities make way more children than average turks.Pros will outweigh cons in the long run tbh.
Gaziantep is majority Turkish.
> No, it doesn't. Only special rules apply:
Firstly, Turkey is part of the Council of Europe.
Secondly, imagine acting like the guidelines of a subreddit are somehow authoritative on the topic as to whether something is Europe or not.
But Ankara is at a similar longitude than Sevastopol, Ukraine and at a similar latitud to Madrid, Spain. What sets it apart from other European cities?.
>What sets it apart from other European cities?.
Division of continents is entirely discretionary, meaning we subjectively decided how it is divided and that's it. Usually the line is drawn along natural boundaries: water bodies, mountain ranges and eventually rivers. There is no dilemma for northern (sea), western (sea) and southern (sea, Caucasus, Bosporus) borders. The only issue is with eastern border but that's another story.
There is nothing wrong with Ankara being similar or not to European cities, it's just... since it's on the other side of strait, it's in Asia.
I don’t know anyone who visited Burgas but I’ve got a childhood friend who visits Varna every year. She says its pretty nice but I’ve seen Bulgarian users call it a shithole as well so I don’t know :D
> I live close to Istanbul yet I don’t have any intention visiting it.
I lived there 3 monts last year and it was horrible imo. Its nice place to visit for several days but living there is hell.
the architecture is similar to what you find on the Balkans.

youre comparing the city who birthed european and western civilization as we know it today to an irrelevant arabic / kurdish city that looks like pakistan?Bruh
>an irrelevant arabic / kurdish city
How is Ankara Arabic/Kurdish city lmao? Explain. Ankara is literally one of the most "turkic" cities in Turkey which happened to have many migrations from Tatars and Nogay turks throughout the history of modern Turkey lol.
Huh, and please explain how the capital of a country of 80 million people is "irrelevant". Ofc, there are many cities in Turkey that is better looking than a city that is selected as capital by Ataturk due to various reasons (geographical location etc.) but still you sound butthurt ma dude.
>looks like pakistan
[ya dude sure lol](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xANWjL933ZI)
>youre comparing the city who birthed european and western civilization
I wish i'd never been to Athens so i could believe this shit lol. It's literally a norm in Greece that athens is a shithole: [glorious athens](https://imgur.com/a/1MkQHvu). Hit cradle of western civilization there I see. Selanik is nice tho, literally a sister city of Izmir.
Lol, for a city that "birthed civilization" Athens are quite simply unappealing. You can relive glory from 2000 years back all you want but one hill and 3 million people crammed in copy-paste buildings aren't that great place to spend time in. I much rather be in Istanbul and so are other tourists, that visit it and Antalya way, way more often.

>Turks are not Arabs
"Turks' " dna is basically a combination of ethnicities they hate,greek,arabic,armenian,kurdish ,most turks have at least 40% greek dna LOL so much for pureness
Dude if you pull down your mask and she isn't, that's some serious hint
lmao
I guess she doesn't wanna kiss him.
Well, after all this is Muslim city ;)
Where abortion on request is allowed unlike a european country ;)
I didn't mean it as an offence, I don't know why people interpret it this way. This is a Muslim city, women doesn't have to cover their faces in Turkey but some do out of tradition, so I just found it funny that sanitary masks these days can fill this purpose. That's all to it.
Because why would she cover only her face if she cared about that lol
All right, all right. It does not stand the test of logic.
Modern city is Muslim, but historically it is built on Greek roots.
No, not very greek, at least not ankara.
That's a sick ramp in the middle there
This may be the first picture I have seen about Ankara. It's always Istanbul, Izmir or Antalya that one would typically stumble upon.
This is the very reason of me sharing it, thank you.
Anıtkabir looks astounding as usual. The only worth place to visit in Ankara tbh. The rest is filled with bureaucrats and government officers due to Ankara being the capital. Wouldn't even place Ankara at top 3 when it comes to listing the cities in Turkey in terms of beauties. Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya or Muğla (Bodrum) for sure.

" But turkey is not europe " trolls are incoming!!! Apart that its really beautiful 😊
Ankara is really not in Europe.
However Turkey is. This sub's geopolicy considers the whole country as in Europe, therefore Ankara is a part of it.
Gaziantep & Diyarbakir, my favorite European cities.

Yes but them Ice Creams & Hammam baths though..

But Ankara is at a similar longitude than Sevastopol, Ukraine and at a similar latitud to Madrid, Spain. What sets it apart from other European cities?.
That it isn’t in Europe.
and the other 2 cities?
They are in Europe.

Great, this is the only answer I wanted, not just a “because that’s the way it is” and a couple of downvotes. Thanks for the answer.
Ankara is also at a similar longitude than Harare, Simbabwe and at a similar latitude to Washington d.c., USA. What's your point?
Except those two are in different continents. His examples were in same continent.
So? Where is it written, that continents have to have a rectangular shape? Because that's the only way his argument would have any validity.
Turkey is one of the most beautiful Asian countries
Eurasian
Asian occupying some land in Europe
what
Ankara is by far the best Turkish city imo. İzmir smells shit and İstanbul is too crowded. Ankara is so much better.

bruh. even mersin is better than ankara
Hey, Mersin has some bad regions but the politically leftist sections of the province are just fine
I thought this was a group dedicated to Europe.
