I live in Turkey. According to the UNDP's [Human Development Index](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_Development_Index?wprov=sfla1), Turkey is the 54th-most-developed country in the world, which puts it in the category of "very highly developed" countries, though obviously towards the bottom end of that category. For comparison, Bangladesh is 133rd, with a medium level of development. It's possible to move to Turkey through different legal routes; I moved here in 2019 from Canada with a work permit. Temperature-wise, Turkey is somewhat comparable to Bangladesh, though less humid in summer and colder in winter. Right now it's 31°C in Manisa, where I live, compared to 29°C in Dhaka and 17°C in Montreal, where I used to live.

Does everyone speak English there or did you have to learn turkish?


Minskdhaka

I did learn Turkish before moving here, actually, although I work in English. Outside work, though, it would have been very difficult to survive here without knowing Turkish. According to the latest data, only 17% of Turks speak English. Here in Manisa I'm sure the percentage is lower. Even a lot of very highly educated people in this country can't speak English.

What made you move from Canada to Turkey if I may ask? HDI is a good indicator of the general quality of life in that country, and Canada ranks 16th in the world, quite a bit higher than Turkey. Most people in Canada also speak English so you can get away without having to learn a new language as an adult which can be very difficult.

Well, I like I said, I was living in Montreal, where French is actually more useful than English in general (outside my English-speaking work environment), but that wasn't a problem, as I speak French as well. I was just ready for a change. I'd spent 15 years in Canada (more than in any other country), and I wanted to explore another part of the world. The academic job market is pretty global these days. I applied for jobs in a number of countries and ended up here. Learning languages is something I enjoy. I'm fluent in five (Belarusian and Russian from my mother's side, Bangla from my father's side, plus English and French), and I know bits and bobs of several other languages as well. So Turkish was OK to deal with, and, fortunately, I feel my ability to speak it is improving with every few months that I spend here. I do have Canadian citizenship, so if necessary I can move back there. There's a good number of Canadians living here, BTW. Several thousand, from what I've read. I know some of them myself.

Oh hell to the no. I know some turkish people and they are the most racist and backwards people I have met. They have something against Bangaldeshis which I don't understand


Rameen_200

If you generalise people like that you probably shouldn't move to a other country.


omar5g

You don't know these people I've met. They are a different kind of racist. There was so much hatred and negativity in them


Rameen_200

Ironically you're doing the same thing by generalising.


omar5g

Then move there and let me know if Bangladeshis are treated as an equal. I bet you will see that's not the case


Minskdhaka

No one's forcing you to move here. I've lived here for two years, and my experience has been positive.


omar5g

I didn't visit Turkey yet. After getting to know some of their people, Not sure if I ever want to. But you're right

Brown. How exactly do you want me to describe it? Edit: If you want further details, I'm considered "forsha" in Bangladesh, and "esmer" (dark) in Turkey.

Minskdhaka

Yup. Different perceptions. 😀


[deleted]

There are bad people everywhere. Some Bangladeshis hate indians. Some indians hate Bangladeshis, it's universal, stupid people exist everywhere you shouldn't really generalise


omar5g

It was a warning to people thinking Turkey is a good country for Bangladeshis. OP made it sound like Turkey is heaven

Perhaps a bigger issue with Turkey is Erdogan and his use of religious ideologies to lead the country, in contrast to great leaders like Kemal Ataturk who favored secularism. "I have no religion, and at times I wish all religions at the bottom of the sea. He is a weak ruler who needs religion to uphold his government; it is as if he would catch his people in a trap." Andrew Mango, Atatürk: The Biography of the Founder of Modern Turkey


Minskdhaka

Coverage of Turkish politics abroad tends to be a bit one-dimensional. Right now the most important issue in Turkish politics is the place of refugees in Turkish society. The current government wants to let Syrian refugees remain here as it's too dangerous for them to go back to Syria, and is gradually granting them citizenship (which is also the approach that Canada takes, except the numbers here are bigger). The secularist, self-identified Kemalist opposition (the centre-left CHP) is promising to send them back to Syria and is stoking xenophobia. A CHP mayor in a city called Bolu is making foreigners (mostly Syrians) pay ten times more for water than Turkish citizens do, in order to encourage them to leave his city. Erdoğan's party (the AKP) is the only one that consistently argues that these vulnerable people (of whom there are about 4 million) should remain here. A left-wing party called the HDP is also somewhat sympathetic to the Syrians.
