the ones who live towards istanbul tend to be secularists..

heh, the people at my school are very similar for the most part.. they're all capitalists, they're all pro-globalization, etc.. (it is a business school after all - i wouldn't go through all the pain if i didn't believe in it myself either.)

always interesting to actually get to talk to someone from another country though, and hear their perspectives and knowledge of their own country. the comments i heard about the military brutality seemed a bit... uncomfortable. i got the sense that they supported the military's behavior, but felt embarrassed to vocally support its brutality (i.e. they liked the radical islamists even less). the people i spoke with were my age (26), so their perspective can't stretch back all that long - maybe 10 years tops.
