welcome back to the David Pakman show joining me today is jail on I was big dog she is a poll a Turkish political analyst television presenter columnist at al Arabi a and also executive director a building bridges an istanbul-based NGO it's really a pleasure to speak with you you know we've had so many stories over the last really several years but also over the last year out of the middle East out of Cherokee out of Syria Egypt of course and I think for a lot of americans at least from the emails I get from our audience there are not necessarily clear views about how much freedom there generally is in different countries in that part of the world so starting first with what is closest to you talk to us a little bit about the day-to-day political and media freedoms that exist or don't in Turkey I just don't talk about Turkey first and it can you kept issue of eating turkey under to make points Street according to the station and feed them in-depth practical life los Tex freedom a life-size a of taxes almost limitless turkeys I was in concert like turkey systems are go to the default on the full guess it at the same time eleven books women's rights and all democratic rights to be slumps look the I then I can say eighty percent of the Turks stuff reclaimed religious Muslims what to type of discount expected not tainted by identifications me so Chris other so it also led by at most governments you know but since the party came to power we did not see any change in the liberal lifestyles of the Turkish people no one is forced to go to a certain lifestyle or certainly tackles looking for example I love important way to catch up like many like to think about %uh and every posting long in his top ally classic say I have seen rights and yeah it did she cheated on Twitter at: spread use my on the contrary a we have become more little and right now outnumber women who continue to your higher education is much more than a number of Maki turkey and in terms of legislation inches in terms of laws Turkish government hoping amending the constitution to be more you currently E and they provided more rights toward minorities and for today if you use for women and cute new pic closest to regulate public life no way to make turkey you can leave it up and there were two legislation does its tough talk to you exceeding I'm sure you total or Big Daddy I heard about them I will not download alcohol and other one what you thought lot people especially in the US I hurdles in the thirties I'll state laws but that you did not take a pic okok the alcohol me said to leave the studio setting off alcohol in shops between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. accept implicitly s when we here in the US we're hearing about the possibility of military action in Syria there was a range of opinions but for the most part Americans were against the US taking military action in Syria I'm curious within Turkey what was the popular opinion about the United States considering taking this action in other words dude was the consensus that Americans are by by sheer virtue of considering this action unfairly appointing themselves the policeman over the world or was the view that actually maybe the US would be a good a good choice in terms of a country to to help a humanitarian crisis what was the view in Turkey above the possibility of military action in Syria accident David he didn't pull issue books up for stuff like st. turkey in the mood is here now we're being an anti-american kanzi church people have always be traumatic up the Iraq war of terror I'm going to stop %uh it Turkish look on it didn't change it you also sitting on with Turkey Day will take place in the integration in Iraq enough money stocking need be I somalia books I'll Turkish relations I'm Nicole a state stage welcome if you re a turkey into for state-run prison Obama offered said yes to me to action up this was only because in Syria you Syrian civil war he already lost more done home to talk to people and right now we are seeing a brutal regime who has been killing people in Honda's every day so it has to be stopped what we are also evident it cannot be stopped when American integration of making a false information or something like that deeply dug it can be and should be stopped why do you see concrete efficiency party thing to do is coming to get its three-piece floors intervening in Syria because the slow una helped you disorder sick telling lesson will be Inc TV if for example if this young students if this innings things and for example other people come together and form it also peace force actually elect at it looks on the ground that's very important don't let me not there for so it looks just up there for a second second jail on I am fascinated by this because you you very astutely pointed out that on that turkey has never been has at least not recently been anti-american country and on many issues there is agreement with many of the actions that the United States takes it seems to me and even in hearing you talk about boots on the ground intervention so on and so forth it really seems to me there is what by American standards would be considered somewhat love a neoconservative element that exists in Turkey that is it seems unique relative to other countries in the region do you agree with that and where did that come from a company thing you conservative into clothes on making your conservative is being a bit different almost the opposite of church consulates turkey East Street exact will if you can't turn key centres rights right now which Israel and Turkey data a party for example he's ok a little alright sent American writer on it sex right in america liberal in the months %uh are you can get left but in Turkey meeting schedule rights so politically speaking I can us estate is the new conservative outlook in you eat for lunch incomes new concerns you to keep luck because turkey has use you dice very yeah very much historical ties to Syria turkey once the civil war over its what turkey rent opening this doesn't want any more flights this weekend each rushing turkey doesn't want and listen cokie act in Syria and stop killing old likes into Assad regime order opposition and so is talking like that too if you want it to be if peace force I'm still being looked at for example if enough gunstock if you took longer eat turkey sent 290 soldiers and follow them came back we don't harm if you look at 2012 that pulls the of going to stop it hit the yeah you feel me closer to Turkey more than any other country in the world even look to mp3s all just the Peace Corps stuff but stop up because its launch both on the soldiers was look close to really keep the peace and stop the fighting not except people all over there so this is going to be the same thing in Syria wasn't soldiers something concrete on forming you to airlines in a new today all you must be going back to kill more people books stop the bloodshed and you just have to stop of course if you want to keep losses Olympic we have more Destin hotels in refugees right now in Turkey I seven hundred of some hotels in both down into beirut in
