I virkeligheden ved alle, at man i Tyrkiet fængsler mennesker for deres ideer, sultestrejkende og andre, der kæmper for demokratiet, myrdes, partier, der repræsenterer millioner af kurdere, eller som bekæmper styret (såsom kommunistpartiet), er forbudte, fagforeningsfolk arresteres osv.
In reality, as we all know, people are imprisoned in Turkey for their ideas, hunger strikers and other people fighting for democracy are murdered, parties which represent millions of Kurds or opponents of the regime (such as the Communist party) are banned, trade unionists are arrested and so on.
