I fled from Moscow to Istanbul with my family and stayed there for one year. I am very grateful to Turkish people, their kindness and hospitality. Considering current situation in Türkiye, I wish a better future for these wonderful people. A future without a dictatorship. İyi şanlar!
Being a foreign immigrant to a country and shitting on it's government and people (most people voted Erdogan). That's so very Russian of you. Kinda same mentality like Russian occupants in Ukraine. Turkey should deport this sort of people back to Russia.

Sure Turkiye is helping Ukraine. yes and many more😂Turkiye is best country for "some" of the Russians, Ukrainians, Syrians, Afghans, Arabs...and many more. Buying proporties, taking advantage of the weaken Turkish lira. Renting them to Turkish people while Turkish people dealing with economic crisis and inflation. Do not forget to tell how beautiful Turkiye is until you get your visa to one of the Europe countries.
Thank you for that comment.please get your shit together from turkey.because we don’t want you all in turkey.and for all those Ukrainian lady’s try to go to Germany(more free money,and you don’t have to work for it)
On behalf of the Russians living in Fethiye, I want to do what this gloomy guy forgot to say: many thanks to all the Turks and especially the residents of wonderful Fethiye for their hospitality, for your goodwill and willingness to help. I really like the relaxation of the Turks, your sincerity, your attitude towards animals and especially towards children. Thanks to the British and other expats who have been living in Fethiye for a long time and make up a unique symbiosis of European and Eastern cultures. Thanks to Mick for this UA-cam channel, which I watched long before moving to Fethiye. My coming here was not the result of saving my ass from mobilization, it was a conscious choice even before the start of the war, and Mick's videos helped me in this choice. Thank you all)
Не надо так строго. Привет из Лондона от русской киевлянки. Живу в Англии давно. Отдыхаем в Мармарисе и Ичмелере. Прекрасные места. Напоминают мне Ялту - там я отдыхала в 80-х и 90-х.
As a Türk, First of all, i welcome to all people..... no one have to get involved in a war that they don't support , and i respect why they leave russia and come here to be far from trouble. If they respect Turkey and Turkish people and culture, life here, ofcourse they can live , but Turkish people is struggling to pay rent or buy house because of this immigration events. Because the other Turkish people raising the rent price more and more when they see that there's a lot of people who just arrived. Newcomers. I don't know , i can't blame russians or Ukrainians or germans or someone else, i think that we Turkish people are hypocrite and we behave cunningly. I think soon Turkey will be belongs to everyone beside Turks. Because arabs, afghans, syrians, russians, everyone else live better than most of Turkish people. But of course this isn't your mistake.. this is what our disgusting government does. Every government first must take care its own people. But , no, they just don't care. So, because of what happens, now Turkish people are trying to go abroad, like immigrants. I mean, my point is that, people leave their homeland, the motherland, because of disgusting governments in their country. İts like All politicians takes orders from devil. And they don't let noone live peaceful and calm and happy in own land. Putin, biden, our supreme leader and others in other countries, all of them are same. They are kid of demons.
You've got a point about considering the immigration flow over the years and you are right in most points. but do you know the benefits it's brought to the country? I agree, it might not have been well organized, but I've been hearing that the governments are working to fix that. This what is really happening thousands are fleeing turkiye right now and investors really fear to come. Unfortunately, there's a recent trend of some Turkish people blaming foreigners for economic issues, which is actually the opposite of what's true if you look into it. For instance, in Algeria my country, we have much more Turkish residents than algerians here in turkiye. and they've contributed significantly to our economy as they run hundreds of businesses restaurants, stores, big real estates making hundreds of million of dollars, petrol and gaz service companies. Do you believe that the biggest company in term of annual turnover in my country is Turkish, a steel process company (don’t you think that this also having great impact on Turkish economy) But eventhough the very hard situation in algeria (much worst than Turkish one) no body would point a finger to them.. everybody see them as brothers and welcome them. It's important for people to see the bigger picture and be more informed about what's happening around them. This misunderstanding negatively impacts tourism and the economy, which is something we all need to be aware of. Hopefully, things will improve for everyone inşallah
@@zakariacherifi6619 @zakariacherifi6619 no, i don't think immigration affect Turkey in good way. Not that way, You know why? Because this is out of control. Because our government don't have a plan for these people and for this event. They just let immigrants come. But about integration, adaptation, accomodation, they don't have a plan, they don't even care. They don't care rights Turks and rights of these people who immigrate here also,, they don't even control and record very well who come, who is this person, what is this person in his background, Where this person live and work? He works illegally? Does he has education? Our government don't give a fck. Look, i am really not against immigrants because i do believe that all people have rights to create a new life from 0 in any other country. Everyone deserves better life and new Chance but if you arrive somewhere new, you have to be respectful to this country, its people, its traditions, its women, But we see really strange things, For example, some of syrians and afghans take video record or photos of girls and share in social media, Look, this can be a murderer reason in Turkey and it can cause big terrible things more because of anger. Turkey is not fully middle eastern, we're mixed, Turkey have both west and east culture together sorry but some of these people immigrate from like a few hundred years ago, it's like they see a woman first time, Or they don't know how to act and behave in public, İn beach, in park, in street The Same goes in another country for Turkish immigrants also, they move to Germany or somewhere else but they don't respect nothing İf you come somewhere new for better life You don't fck this place You have to respect it and you have to leave everything behind in your former country, You will not live in a new country like how you lived in your home country. İf this is already you, if this is what you must do, then why you just come here ? Stay where you were Or obey the rules in new place, respect the people in new place. I sometimes see in internet that Eastern people do some protest in England or Denmark like they want seria, Islamic rules, life style And i feel strange You know why? You just left your country and immigrate to a modern western country because of Islamic government model system didn't let you live well enough And now you find freedom in west, now you want to fkc here also with same system because you scream for it in street. What the fck is this ?? İf you think sheria makes you that happy Why you didn't stay in there? Don't bring what destroy your country to the place you've just arrived. İf you just live and work here calm peacefully and with respect the people and culture where you came, I don't have problem with you, But if opposite, i have problem And i don't blame immigrants for Turkish economic crise, yes about high price of rent, they come and this happen because Turkish landlords see them and update price higher But, I blame the only government for everything, Because they steal money, they steal money, , they are corrupt , they suck and get everything belong to country and people.
@@Woohootang same goes everywhere. Because there is a small rich group with devil politicians, they have everything well, money,. everything, so they don't care what happens with ordinary people, in public. İmmigration is good for country only if you have a smart government and if they do this in a plan.
I was in Fethiye last winter and I couldn't believe how many "Russians" were there. When I walked to the back of the coffee shops in Fethiye all the tables were occupied by Slavic visitors who were doing remote work on their laptops. I use the word "Slavic" here as a general term for Russians, Ukrainians, and some other Eastern European people because I can't distinguish their nationality from their looks alone. In Antalya and Alanya I saw even more Slavic visitors. In Alanya in my hotel there were no Turkish channels on cable TV feed. Most of the customers in the hotel and at the beach were again Slavic visitors. What surprised me the most was when I finally made my way into my hometown Mersin, I saw Slavic visitors there as well. I mean in Mersin? Traditionally Mersin hasn't been a tourist city. Generally speaking Turkish people feel friendly towards the Slavic visitors and the visitors keep a low profile. I honestly wish some of the educated Russians and Ukrainians would stay because they would help the demographic data and enrich the culture.
Very good point. I am Slavic myself, not Russian, but Macedonian. Came here and living in Ankara because I married Turkish. Honestly Turkey wouldn't have been my first choice, not just Turkey but any Balkan country. Because we all know Western countries have better standard. Don't get me wrong but I love Turkey very much and it has beautiful language. In the end we are same culture. So, when I came for the first time in Turkey back in 2015 in Antalya on vacation, I was surprised by the number of Russians. Also what surprised me of the number of Russian women marrying Turkish men, that's because Russians are Orthodox like we Macedonians are, Christians. I mean a lot of Christian women marry Muslim men, but I didn't expect that many from Russia. So I just wonder why.
@@thenin4e Yes, I understand. I live in the USA myself. I visit Turkey but because of traffic violations, etc it gets difficult after a while. Why marry Russian women? For Turkish men they're exotic, beautiful. As for Macedonians, my mother is from the Aegean coast from a town called Akhisar. That area received a lot of Macedonian muslim immigrants in the last couple of hundreds years.
@@konstantinosg2170 yes that's the combination. There's no such thing as a homogeneous and pure nation. Not even the Greeks. The Greeks from the past turn in their graves because for them Macedonians were barbarians and never part of Greece. In fact there wasn't even a thing Greece, there were city-states, all in war with each other. Now, as for how Macedonias became part of the Slavic group, that's because when Slavic tribes have started to migrate from the Carpatians towards the Balkan peninsula, it's then when they have mixed with Macedonians. Understood? Macedonia was never Greek, you and other neighbors have taken parts of Macedonia between the Balkan wars, with the help of England, France, and Russa. And have have made an exodus to the Macedonian people in the Aegean part of Macedonia, there are still there Macedonians whose is denied their language and identity. You poor brainwashed Greeks. I feel so sorry for you. One day, maybe in the next world you will learn how evil is your government. And what injustice your people have done to my people. Now GTF off of my comments, and have a nice life. Signature: a proud Macedonian.
It touches my heart and brings back everything what me and my family and my people went through in the 90s and unfortunately because of the bad political solution people of Bosnia still live in agony. It will take a time to build the bridges for communication with Ukrainians and they need the time to heal because the pain of their trauma is something they will have to learn to live with. Brave and honest people like Ted will definitely help to slowly build the trust between Ukrainians and some Russians but it is a very slow and painful process. Thank you for the video and good luck to Ted, his family and all others in similar situations.
No trust is possible between us he killer and the victim. Think about it, offering this between Ukrainian and Russians. Genocide can’t be tolerated. Russia is a country aggressor, and Russians are killing people of Ukraine and invaded sovereign territory of this state in 21 century as barbarians, it is a massacre. This is an existential point.
Turkiye helping Syrian people Turkiye helping Ukraine people Turkiye helping Afghanistan people Turkiye helping Pakistan people Türkiye helping Russian people Turkiye helping Libya country Turkiye helping Somalia and Ethiopia and Eritrea country And some African country’s olso
Cool, instead of just going to wherever safe, just all come and swarm one small area of the world (Antalya region) and price all the locals out of their own city/cities. Ufff!
So, probably russian government hired all those Russians who is at war, who are throwing bombs from planes and from polygons? Whole country is innocent, who are doing this, than? Ridiculous. The biggest mistake to think that Russians are not supporting this action. They do, or they “out of topic”. Only when it touches their everyday routine, or their relatives came back in black bags, they start to make conclusions
Regarding the possibilities of being conscripted into the Russian Army. We can look at some of the Russian UA-camrs who do videos just as Mick And Trudie do. When we look at them we see many young people, (Lots of young guys ) going anout enjoying their lives without a care in the world seemingly. They seem to be unmmarried many of them probably with no dependents. Yet they do not seem terrified of being conscripted ? To uproot young children from their education and environment and take them to a foreign nation is no small thing. I'm sure the wirld will be a different place in years to come and other nstions besides America and the European ones will have a bigger say in things. America and its global domination wi one day be no more. I wonder what the children of the "brave" men who fled their nation will think about things then ?
@DJIDroneTravel Perhaps in their own country they are, but having been on holiday in Sharm over 40 times and now in Turkey countless amount of times they're not very respected
The chap you interviewed, I think he was very brave in what he was saying about his country. I was in the army when the Cold War was on, and this is the way Russia is going back to, and I bet he watches over his shoulder, even living here. Good interview.
Hello! I live in Fethiye. I feel for all Slavic people, Russian or Ukrainian, all kind-hearted people. I hope the war ends soon and they return home and the families live happily together. I wish them to live peacefully during their time in Türkiye.
I’m here in Olu Deniz right now and am staggered by how many Russians are here. Not that I have any issue with it. When their kids and my kids play together, I wonder if it wasn’t for politics and religion, what would be left to really divide us.? Ultimately as people and parents especially, we all mostly share the same values. It’s in our values we should aim to seek unity and put aside invisible boundaries made by politicians.
Ted is a brave and courageous man. I understand he is taking significant personal risk when speaking out openly of his mind. I wish only the best for him and his family.
This is 1917 all over again when so many Russians fled to Turkey to escape the Bolcheviks. History has a way of repeating itself if lessons are not learnt. Very sad.
They don't know history because they don't teach it. Ask a Russian to tell you what they learned about the Revolution and both World Wars. It's insane.
LOL 😂 I'm a History teacher ... and I can tell you don't know much about history ! Funny how people confidently make a link with a past event just after reading a book about the Bolsheviks... or maybe after watching a couple Hollywood movies.
This person is brave. There is a new law in Russia that can put him behind bars for "distribution of fake information about Russian army" even though he was careful not to say something dangerous. I hope he will succeed in moving to Finland.
The people freelancing and bringing Turkiye foreign currency are actually helping with the economy. They are growing the pie. With that said, Turkiye is not a free buffet where anyone can come and make the life more difficult for the local residents by adding to the inflation ( the produce need to feed 100 million instead of 86 now, finding houses for rent or sale is a challenge if not impossible) and by diluting the Turkish culture with their traditions. Of course we are all for helping the people who had to flee their country for any reason and yet, Turkey had major problems of it's own before, now we are struggling to deal with a new kind of beast.
@@nurpars846 😂😂 I'm sure he would have stayed in Russia if there was no war. A war is worse than a dictator, you know! Having 2 evils (Putin and war) is worse than having one evil. 😂😂
I'm in oludeniz at the moment and i was talking to a stall holder about the Russians the stall holder was saying they're not friendly people and are very rude. I myself have noticed they're quite rude people. But can't tar everyone with the same brush but that's the general feel in oludeniz
Slavic inferiority complex.... Western political class, aristocracy, elites never saw Russians as Europeans they saw them as backwards, primitive people so when they come to our country they all about showing off they think like they are superior ....Their mindset stayed in 19th century and Soviet regime didn't helped to change that....They will live in a Khushcovka commie block apartment but they will act, speak down to you like they born and raise in Buckingham palace...I worked with them in Antalya a lot back in the days I am very aware of what runs in their dna how they view themselves and how they view others
David I'm sorry to have to say it but my wife and I have found a lot if Eastern European people to be rude. We've experienced it in Poland and a few other places.
It is very important for Turkey to remain neutral in this war (on paper). This occupation will not continue until the end of the world. Eventually, the two countries will reach an agreement. Russia does not accept Poland or America mediating, and Ukraine does not want Belarus or China mediating. Turkey is the only country that can communicate with both sides. Hopefully, the occupation will end soon. Mick Amca ellerinden öperim. Allah uzun ömür versin sana.
So funny, amazing and, at the same time, disgusting to read comments like "I feel for the Russians who fled the war..." Just wait a little - is there any war in Russia, have I missed something? Is there a single house in Russia destroyed by a missile or a bomb? Are there tens of thousands of civilians killed in Russia by invaders? The answer to all these questions is "no", since the war is going on in Ukraine and it is exactly Russians who started the war and keep killing Ukrainians. Actually, those you are "feeling for" are not against this war, they just want to watch it on the internet or TV from a distance... Over 80% of Russians do support Putin's invasion of Ukraine, no matter what they say aloud about it in their interviews, especially when interviewed in safe places like Türkiye. No matter how and when this war ends, there will never be any peace between the two nations again - Ukrainian kids will always remember all those nights they spent in bomb shelters and basements.
@hardlyever6116 - I feel very sorry for Ukrainians, but we should also feel for the educated Russians who are against Putin's dictatorship and this stupid war.
My brother is alumni of Ted Ankara College, Canadian British accredited, Metu Computer and Machinery Engineering alumni, he works at Tai Factory Ankara Turkey as Computer programmer and MCSE Microsoft certificate holder earns only 1200 USD per month in Turkey for 20 years time. Ukranian ladies don't like his wage because of that refused to marry him at age 43 now.
I feel for the Russians and whoever has to leave their country and start over in a different place. It's a tough challenge. I immigrated to Australia from Iran and I completely understand the culture shock and language barrier issues new immigrants face. Good interview Mick. I love your videos.
You can tell that Mick is almost enforcing Western propaganda/view of this conflict between the USA and Russia on viewers of this video. He asks questions and he answer them himself. This Russian guy is too shy or his English is not strong enough to express himself.
Turkey is a very diversified country that has tons to offer. Turkish people are very kind. Kurds in the South are even kinder. The weather is great. Food is superb. Culture is outstanding. What's not to like in Turkey? BTW I spent a month slow crossing Turkey by motorcycle on my way to Georgia and Armenia and will return to Turkey.
Ya watched this video and i guess hoping this war ends soon ..for everybodies sake ...any war torn country in this day n age is just supersad...nobody wins with war ......the damage to the planet is unreversible ...its doing damage to other countries,economic damage too ...psychological damage too ...lets pray it all ends soon ..i know your heart in right place to do this interview mick amca ......love from ireland 🇮🇪 ♥️
I am in Aktau/Kazakhstan. This city used to speak kazakh 100% everyone including ethnic russians. With the recent flood of russians, the city has become bilingual which is annoying for me. I hope that damn war ends soon and they all go back to their country.
I see comments about rent going up in turkey in regards to greedy landlords charging highest prices possible for their properties’ this is not just happening in turkey let me tell you this rental property problem is happening in the 4 nations of the British isles our own people are homeless because of GB 🇬🇧 taking so many thousands upon thousands off immigrants in to our country but someone must help them we can’t leave them to perish’ long story short the world is suffering because of certain political leaders thank you uncle mick for sharing your video
Çözüm basit Amerika ve İngiltere'yi yer yüzünden silmek gerekiyor. Çünkü bütün bu göçlerin sebebi bu iki fesat ülkedir. Bütün dünyayı karıştıran ülkeler bunlar. Adaletsizlikler savaşlar tarihe bakın İngilizler ve şimdide amerikalılardır. Zaten akraba bunlar. Bütün dünyayı yüz yıllardır sömuruyorlar. Nerde bir savaş varsa oradan ya bir İngiliz yada bir amerikali geçmiştir . Amerika'nın Suriye'de Irak'ta Afganistan'da Libya'da etc. Ne işi var? Amerika nerde bu ülkeler nerde? Düne kadar şeytan İngilizlerdi şimdi amerikalilar. Ve emin olun Rus Ukrayna savaşı da bu ülkeler yüzünden çıktı. Eğer kör değilsen gayet açık görünüyor herşey
It is false to give the citizinship for money, i think it is important firstly learn the turkish language, than learn the culture, for the integration. It is a process. In Germany, in the past, you get german citizinship after minimum 8 years, you must show with documents that you can talk the Language, that is important. I am against to give citizinship for money. You must earn it, but not with money.
I do feel for them but I can’t help but think the money they bring hasn’t helped inflation my landlord now wants euro from me after 5 years of TL last year was 4500tl now she wants €500 it’s impossible
Strange that most have been told to leave after there residency expired but they won’t the only ones who like them is the landlords. Feel sorry for the normal Turks/Kurds who are being kicked out of there homes. Funny how none left before putin conscripted men must of been ok to stay in Russia then
Brilliant interview Mick and thankyou both for doing it. Hearing the truth says a lot. At least they are keeping hostilities away by not engaging with each other probably for the best.
Mike, Greetings from London! Thank you for making these videos for my country and I am grateful for your love of Turkey. Turkey has been a land of refuge for many people in many centuries. I grew up in Istanbul in 1970s and 1980s, have seen a flax of Iranians after the revolution in Iran, seen many people from Ruanda and other parts of Africa in 1980s and 1990s, now of course have a lot of Syrians, Afghans and Russians perhaps Ukrainians too. In some way, it is an honour to have people finding safety in Turkey, but also as you know this comes with many problems too. In that way, I think UK also had been a refuge in a different way to many people. Best wishes.
I'd noticed a lot of Russian and Ukrainian visitors to Türkiye 3 years ago with most restaurants showing prices in ₽. Similarly, in April around Fethiye there was a lot of Russian spoken. Back at the time of Vietnam, Americans were going to Canada to avoid conscription. This is no different really. Fascinating video Mick. Thanks for shining a spotlight on the issue.
@@tootz1950 Estimates vary between 30,000 - 60,000 young Americans who emigrated to Canada during the Vietnam war. Not on the scale here maybe but still a not insignificant number.
@@jeffb1214 Where did you get those figures and are you sure those were draft dodgers? Many Americans each year immigrate for one reason or another to Canada, even in peace time.
I hope situations in Russia get better soon so they can get back to their home but I wish the very best while they are here because they are actually running from a war.
Situation in Russia? It’s like.. Russia will stop to be authoritarian system, killing neighbours? It is not alien attack, it is what Russians are doing, exactly. And those who left their country are not very against it, in majority
Thankfully we in Britain didnt have to flee to other countries a 20 yrs ago, when we launched a war based on lies, known lies at that. A war that cost the lives one million Iraqi people by informed estimates. Besides the cruelties and atrocities meted out. We managed to fight with our allies without resorting to that. Or having to drag men young and old of the streets to fight on the front line with very little training. This has been known to happen in Ukraine.
It depends where in Türkiye ? foreigners who come here mostly go near resorts but they only make up about 5% of the housing the rest is movement of Turks from the earthquake areas and the cities after covid most rentals are Turkish owned by the wealthy Turks who have bought 2nd and 3rd homes in resorts but they are mostly empty in winter 🧐🤠
It must be of concern that Russian spy services have followed them. It's not like they are in the witness protection programme. I wouldn't be surprised if elements of the Russian mafia have also moved there. I hope I'm wrong but the thought of it is disturbing especially as I keep looking at property there for my own retirement. I truly hope I'm wrong .
All Mick was doing was instead of giving his perspective, he asked the Russian to give us some background. I think Mick was not being political, just giving us an insight into the teasons and difficulties in tge influx of these people in Fethiye and Turkiye.
James, I wanted to highlight the fact that many people around the world are trying to escape conflict, and I feel we should not rebel or be angry with these people for relocating somewhere else 🤠
The early part of the interview was better than the latter part. The Rusdisn guy was definately nit very fluent on the English language. He was very slow and halting. Maybe a translator could have been used. Its unfortunate that towards the end mick put a few words in the guys mouth (Watch it again) Mick called putin "Crazy" The fact that he did this made me dislike the video.
Let's be honest, most have come to avoid the war/draft and take advantage of what a beautiful country Turkey is. It's not just the Russian's ! The are plenty of Ukrainian's flooding in as well, with Zelensky getting more out of control as a dictator. Just returned from our 2nd Turkey holiday and the is no mistaking the worry from Turks/Kurds alike about rent/house prices going up.
This was very important and enlightening for me. To hear that, as with the U.S., the military industrial complex has considerable influence in Russian geopolitical policy, just confirms for me that, collectively there is a global effort to gaslight everyone to forward a global elitist agenda. My prayers and best wishes to all the hard working and great people of Russia and Ukraine, who have to endure this unnecessary idiocy. Unfortunately, I know we in the U.S. are not far behind, as well as Europe
So strange that others dont see this from our angle (Americans). The war was started by the West to further monetary gains for a few folks with the help of govt intervention. Putin to me seems the only one who actually is looking out for the interests of Russia as a nation.....otherwise, Russia would be in control of other 'interests.
Great interview. Thanks to brave Russian guy. I wish you can raise your voice up and enlighten to other people of Russia and try to contact Ukrainians and collaborate to stop this war and hate each other. Good luck.
Compared to area of Turkey, Australia area is 9 times larger than Turkey, Russia is 20 times at least larger than Turkey, Brasil area is 8 times larger than Turkey, Argentine area is 5 times larger than Turkey.
They are even in Mersin. Because the apartments there are cheaper. And now, according to this Russian program, apartments there are becoming more expensive. ua-cam.com/video/Kbo9i9lQK_Y/v-deo.html There are many similar programs in Russian that give people information about which countries and how to immigrate. I know Russian language, so I know the general situation there. And recently I saw a video that was watched by over a million people: some guy says don't come to Turkey, the government has changed the laws again and is not giving residence permits. And some Russians in Alanya, under this video, complained about what we will now do with the apartments, cars that we bought here, it’s like we are trapped and don’t know what to do next, since we couldn’t get a residence permit.
These are some other programs that promote migration: ua-cam.com/video/QoIQtZcxZXA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/vQX73MFm4RE/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/GTDfkK7HaTE/v-deo.html
@@mickandtrudie really well kept. Great interview by the way. Thanks for showing the Russian perspective. All humans suffer in war. Only monsters benefit.
Why? Because they scared to death to go to Ukraine as soldiers. They were happy with what putin has been doing in Ukraine until there was their turn to take kalashnikov and die somewhere in Ukraine near Donensk or Mariupol.
Another great video Mick. I am so glad you touched on this, as we all know politics gets in the way of Human and social interactions. As we can clearly see. Thank god Ted , can see through all the Propogander.
My Metu Civil Engineer Akin Ozguc works and live in Atrau Kazakhstan Enka Bechtel Construction of Refineries for 30 years and earn 8000 USD per month for 20 years time. His kazakh passport wife , 1 kazakh and 1 turkish passport Holder daughters always live in Georgia Tbilisi and attend to İntl School.
Let us hope and pray Mick that this terrible conflict soon ends and they have a peaceful settlement. So many young men have lost their lives its horrific, if one of our western nations had sustained these huge losses their would have been uproar even in these apathetic times. There would have been calls for talks.
Stand up and take a bow! This was fantastic. Would you like to interview other refugees and emigrates to Turkiye? It's so rare to hear from them one on one. At Kemeralti Bazaar, I saw a lot of Syrians, and ' Romani ' ( sorry I'm going by their style of dress ). Most of them appeared sad and stressed and children were truly stressed and traumatized. There is some resentment from the locals, although they do hire them in the service sector.. I only speak English and Maltese (Maghreb/Italian), and just a little Turkish, so I wasn't able to speak with people who are actually experiencing this. Please consider more interviews if you find the opportunity. I was only there a couple weeks last May and already long to return.
What a stupid question would putin use nuclear weapons er no ask who as a the only country in the world usa have already done it has everyone forgotten
All due respect Mick and Trudie, I have to tell you that as Turkish citizens we don't want this type of arrogant people amongst us. It is obvious he is laundering money and he is dull, he is afraid and seems sneaky. His salary from his 'partners' for a job done remotely and online doesn't fit for this guy. I don't see the light in him. If you run away from your country and live in Turkey then you should at least try to learn a little bit of the language and have some cultural exchange. These people come to Turkey like they are martians and when they go back all they remember are the bad and dumb stories.
True, in Indonesia too many arrogant russian, criminal, rude, the worse tourist u see. They rude, they scam, if u see Israely settler then u see same way with russian mental. Very arrogant. How big change when they come to society. Please becareful for turkish. I hope turkish government understand n do something, dont wait till too late.We love good people. N yes we dont need arrogant people n ruin everything. And the truth behind, its rusian government program to doin invasion. Bring ruaaian to europe n other continents. Same way what u see in israel . More than 5 millions citizen of israel is rusia. Becaful
As a Turkish, our hospitality is not endless. Our own people are struggling with their needs. I really want the government to make it harder for foreigners to settle here, considering how hard it is for us Turks to get a visa to abroad. Anyone can surely visit and enjoy the country but when you're done, please leave.
Türkiye is under invasion! Nobody knows exactly how many Syrians are settled in Türkiye with temporary resident status! Millions and millions of them! And none of them want to go back, even if the things are settled pretty well there now! In addition to that disasterous millions, every single day more and more Afghans, Pakistanis and Africans (almost all single young men) are carried to Turkish borders and settling in Türkiye illegally, like illegal border crossings from Mexico to the USA. Iraqis and Iranians also acquire citizenship in record numbers by purchasing real estates. The granting of citizenship by purchasing real estate should be abolished immediately. When will the borders be strengthened against illegal crossings? And how come Russians can get residency permit in Türkiye that easily? If all these nightmarish circumtances are not indicating a fire alarm, I really don't know what else we need to wake up and take immediate actions. No happy ending with these extremely reckless, indifferent and ignorant policies. Watch out Türkiyem, beware!
@@mickandtrudie yes and no. though I dont like the current government, I can easily see and understand the fact that the "powers" that be are forcing the hand of our government. Either you get along with the WEF agenda or you get your economy destroyed. In Turkiye's part it was becoming a melting pot for all the refugees all across the globe. The term inbetween refugee and migrant should be and stay different. We don't have any problem with migrants, who would invest and work in our country and would rather integrate themselves into our culture and society atleast to the point not loosing their own cultural identity. I don't see any problem with that. But can't say the same for refugees, they're given free welfare and healthcare, a better education for their young, getting into better schools without any going through any exam or the hustle citizens have to, can do tax free investments and take the earnings out of the country easily, all monetary support and welfare support for each and every kid they bring here or have here while the actual citizens dont recieve anything similiar to that... the list could go on for hours. Put aside the fact that they're seuxally harassing our women on a daily basis, they think that the Turkish women are booty of war, anyways I dont want to go into that subject here because the liberals of my country who align themselves with Globalism and cultural Marxism easily will also easily jump on me and accuse me of being fascist or so... The Russians can stay, as long as they dont turn out to be sleeper agents :D :D im kidding.
@@mickandtrudie the government is filling their coffers on their own people's expense, somehow their ridiculous monetary policies must be financed. Erdogan was asked before the election if he's going to do something about the immigrants and he said "we're not going to change anything".
How few people of russia you mean. What the majority in russia thinks you have no idea until you learn russian and go read their forums, or speak to your ex friends and families in russia. They support the war.
Rubbish. Try interviewing a much larger sampling of Russians in Russia as well to get to the truth. A selective ONE MAN DODGER IN TURKEY doesn't speak for the whole of Russia, of course. Just saying the bare basics ...
most of those Russians support this war, they just won't say so. This guy is just a draft dodger, no more. And there is no war in Russia btw, war is in Ukraine, Ukrainian people are getting killed right now by this guys landsmen. Don't be so naïve please.
Very well done. I think he is typical of Russian who do not agree with the politics in Russia and have left. Most of the Russian I have met are well educated and polite.
the reason is : no need visa - can buy property - can open bank account and the turkey have business with Russia they can work there ; there is not many country you can do all this
Респект парню, кто не хотел никого убивать или быть убитым - на земле другого народа (украинского). Привет из Лондона от русской киевлянки. Буду в Мармарисе скоро с семьей на отдыхе. I love Turkey. Живу в Англии больше 20 лет.
I fled from Moscow to Istanbul with my family and stayed there for one year. I am very grateful to Turkish people, their kindness and hospitality. Considering current situation in Türkiye, I wish a better future for these wonderful people. A future without a dictatorship. İyi şanlar!
And we wish a better future without dictatorship to you russian people
Being a foreign immigrant to a country and shitting on it's government and people (most people voted Erdogan).
That's so very Russian of you. Kinda same mentality like Russian occupants in Ukraine. Turkey should deport this sort of people back to Russia.
Evertime same rule, you feed the dog and it bites,,,
What is your business with Turkish people to insult their elected leader??? Go back to your non dictator ruler of russia

Sure Turkiye is helping Ukraine. yes and many more😂Turkiye is best country for "some" of the Russians, Ukrainians, Syrians, Afghans, Arabs...and many more. Buying proporties, taking advantage of the weaken Turkish lira. Renting them to Turkish people while Turkish people dealing with economic crisis and inflation. Do not forget to tell how beautiful Turkiye is until you get your visa to one of the Europe countries.
The most realistic comment! Thank you!
Thank you for that comment.please get your shit together from turkey.because we don’t want you all in turkey.and for all those Ukrainian lady’s try to go to Germany(more free money,and you don’t have to work for it)
.
On behalf of the Russians living in Fethiye, I want to do what this gloomy guy forgot to say: many thanks to all the Turks and especially the residents of wonderful Fethiye for their hospitality, for your goodwill and willingness to help. I really like the relaxation of the Turks, your sincerity, your attitude towards animals and especially towards children.
Thanks to the British and other expats who have been living in Fethiye for a long time and make up a unique symbiosis of European and Eastern cultures.
Thanks to Mick for this UA-cam channel, which I watched long before moving to Fethiye. My coming here was not the result of saving my ass from mobilization, it was a conscious choice even before the start of the war, and Mick's videos helped me in this choice. Thank you all)
Thank you for such a kind comment
We love you all and thank you for your comments♥
Не надо так строго. Привет из Лондона от русской киевлянки. Живу в Англии давно. Отдыхаем в Мармарисе и Ичмелере. Прекрасные места. Напоминают мне Ялту - там я отдыхала в 80-х и 90-х.
As a Türk, First of all, i welcome to all people..... no one have to get involved in a war that they don't support , and i respect why they leave russia and come here to be far from trouble. If they respect Turkey and Turkish people and culture, life here, ofcourse they can live , but Turkish people is struggling to pay rent or buy house because of this immigration events. Because the other Turkish people raising the rent price more and more when they see that there's a lot of people who just arrived. Newcomers. I don't know , i can't blame russians or Ukrainians or germans or someone else, i think that we Turkish people are hypocrite and we behave cunningly.
I think soon Turkey will be belongs to everyone beside Turks. Because arabs, afghans, syrians, russians, everyone else live better than most of Turkish people. But of course this isn't your mistake.. this is what our disgusting government does. Every government first must take care its own people. But , no, they just don't care. So, because of what happens, now Turkish people are trying to go abroad, like immigrants.
I mean, my point is that, people leave their homeland, the motherland, because of disgusting governments in their country. İts like All politicians takes orders from devil. And they don't let noone live peaceful and calm and happy in own land.
Putin, biden, our supreme leader and others in other countries, all of them are same. They are kid of demons.
You've got a point about considering the immigration flow over the years and you are right in most points. but do you know the benefits it's brought to the country? I agree, it might not have been well organized, but I've been hearing that the governments are working to fix that. This what is really happening thousands are fleeing turkiye right now and investors really fear to come.
Unfortunately, there's a recent trend of some Turkish people blaming foreigners for economic issues, which is actually the opposite of what's true if you look into it.
For instance, in Algeria my country, we have much more Turkish residents than algerians here in turkiye. and they've contributed significantly to our economy as they run hundreds of businesses restaurants, stores, big real estates making hundreds of million of dollars, petrol and gaz service companies. Do you believe that the biggest company in term of annual turnover in my country is Turkish, a steel process company (don’t you think that this also having great impact on Turkish economy)
But eventhough the very hard situation in algeria (much worst than Turkish one) no body would point a finger to them.. everybody see them as brothers and welcome them.
It's important for people to see the bigger picture and be more informed about what's happening around them. This misunderstanding negatively impacts tourism and the economy, which is something we all need to be aware of. Hopefully, things will improve for everyone inşallah
England is also struggling with immigration we as British people. Not myself but for many British people it’s also hard to get a job and housing..
I agree about politicians
@@zakariacherifi6619 @zakariacherifi6619 no, i don't think immigration affect Turkey in good way. Not that way, You know why? Because this is out of control. Because our government don't have a plan for these people and for this event. They just let immigrants come. But about integration, adaptation, accomodation, they don't have a plan, they don't even care. They don't care rights Turks and rights of these people who immigrate here also,, they don't even control and record very well who come, who is this person, what is this person in his background,
Where this person live and work? He works illegally? Does he has education?
Our government don't give a fck.
Look, i am really not against immigrants because i do believe that all people have rights to create a new life from 0 in any other country. Everyone deserves better life and new Chance but if you arrive somewhere new, you have to be respectful to this country, its people, its traditions, its women,
But we see really strange things,
For example, some of syrians and afghans take video record or photos of girls and share in social media,
Look, this can be a murderer reason in Turkey and it can cause big terrible things more because of anger. Turkey is not fully middle eastern, we're mixed, Turkey have both west and east culture together
sorry but some of these people immigrate from like a few hundred years ago, it's like they see a woman first time,
Or they don't know how to act and behave in public,
İn beach, in park, in street
The Same goes in another country for Turkish immigrants also, they move to Germany or somewhere else but they don't respect nothing
İf you come somewhere new for better life
You don't fck this place
You have to respect it and you have to leave everything behind in your former country,
You will not live in a new country like how you lived in your home country.
İf this is already you, if this is what you must do, then why you just come here ? Stay where you were
Or obey the rules in new place, respect the people in new place.
I sometimes see in internet that Eastern people do some protest in England or Denmark like they want seria, Islamic rules, life style
And i feel strange
You know why?
You just left your country and immigrate to a modern western country because of Islamic government model system didn't let you live well enough
And now you find freedom in west, now you want to fkc here also with same system because you scream for it in street.
What the fck is this ?? İf you think sheria makes you that happy
Why you didn't stay in there?
Don't bring what destroy your country to the place you've just arrived.
İf you just live and work here calm peacefully and with respect the people and culture where you came,
I don't have problem with you,
But if opposite, i have problem
And i don't blame immigrants for Turkish economic crise, yes about high price of rent, they come and this happen because Turkish landlords see them and update price higher
But,
I blame the only government for everything,
Because they steal money, they steal money, , they are corrupt , they suck and get everything belong to country and people.
@@Woohootang same goes everywhere. Because there is a small rich group with devil politicians, they have everything well, money,. everything, so they don't care what happens with ordinary people, in public. İmmigration is good for country only if you have a smart government and if they do this in a plan.
I was in Fethiye last winter and I couldn't believe how many "Russians" were there. When I walked to the back of the coffee shops in Fethiye all the tables were occupied by Slavic visitors who were doing remote work on their laptops. I use the word "Slavic" here as a general term for Russians, Ukrainians, and some other Eastern European people because I can't distinguish their nationality from their looks alone. In Antalya and Alanya I saw even more Slavic visitors. In Alanya in my hotel there were no Turkish channels on cable TV feed. Most of the customers in the hotel and at the beach were again Slavic visitors. What surprised me the most was when I finally made my way into my hometown Mersin, I saw Slavic visitors there as well. I mean in Mersin? Traditionally Mersin hasn't been a tourist city. Generally speaking Turkish people feel friendly towards the Slavic visitors and the visitors keep a low profile. I honestly wish some of the educated Russians and Ukrainians would stay because they would help the demographic data and enrich the culture.
What a lovely comment. Thank you so much. 🤠🙋♀️
Very good point. I am Slavic myself, not Russian, but Macedonian. Came here and living in Ankara because I married Turkish. Honestly Turkey wouldn't have been my first choice, not just Turkey but any Balkan country. Because we all know Western countries have better standard. Don't get me wrong but I love Turkey very much and it has beautiful language. In the end we are same culture. So, when I came for the first time in Turkey back in 2015 in Antalya on vacation, I was surprised by the number of Russians. Also what surprised me of the number of Russian women marrying Turkish men, that's because Russians are Orthodox like we Macedonians are, Christians. I mean a lot of Christian women marry Muslim men, but I didn't expect that many from Russia. So I just wonder why.
@@thenin4e Yes, I understand. I live in the USA myself. I visit Turkey but because of traffic violations, etc it gets difficult after a while. Why marry Russian women? For Turkish men they're exotic, beautiful. As for Macedonians, my mother is from the Aegean coast from a town called Akhisar. That area received a lot of Macedonian muslim immigrants in the last couple of hundreds years.
Slavic and Macentonia what combination 😂😂😂😂😂😂 probably you are Greek and a you don’t know.
@@konstantinosg2170 yes that's the combination. There's no such thing as a homogeneous and pure nation. Not even the Greeks. The Greeks from the past turn in their graves because for them Macedonians were barbarians and never part of Greece. In fact there wasn't even a thing Greece, there were city-states, all in war with each other. Now, as for how Macedonias became part of the Slavic group, that's because when Slavic tribes have started to migrate from the Carpatians towards the Balkan peninsula, it's then when they have mixed with Macedonians. Understood? Macedonia was never Greek, you and other neighbors have taken parts of Macedonia between the Balkan wars, with the help of England, France, and Russa. And have have made an exodus to the Macedonian people in the Aegean part of Macedonia, there are still there Macedonians whose is denied their language and identity. You poor brainwashed Greeks. I feel so sorry for you. One day, maybe in the next world you will learn how evil is your government. And what injustice your people have done to my people. Now GTF off of my comments, and have a nice life.
Signature: a proud Macedonian.
Thank you for pronounce our country name correctly! ❤
It touches my heart and brings back everything what me and my family and my people went through in the 90s and unfortunately because of the bad political solution people of Bosnia still live in agony. It will take a time to build the bridges for communication with Ukrainians and they need the time to heal because the pain of their trauma is something they will have to learn to live with. Brave and honest people like Ted will definitely help to slowly build the trust between Ukrainians and some Russians but it is a very slow and painful process. Thank you for the video and good luck to Ted, his family and all others in similar situations.
No trust is possible between us he killer and the victim. Think about it, offering this between Ukrainian and Russians. Genocide can’t be tolerated. Russia is a country aggressor, and Russians are killing people of Ukraine and invaded sovereign territory of this state in 21 century as barbarians, it is a massacre. This is an existential point.
Thank you, Uncle Mick, for having this interview, and thank you Turkey for helping so many people in these hard times.

Amazing interview, thank you Mick and Ted, nations don't want war, only the politicians want it. All the best to Russians and Ukrainians
Agree!
So, probably russian government hired all those Russians who is at war, who are throwing bombs from planes and from polygons? Whole country is innocent, who are doing this, than? Ridiculous. The biggest mistake to think that Russians are not supporting this action. They do, or they “out of topic”. Only when it touches their everyday routine, or their relatives came back in black bags, they start to make conclusions
All the best to Russians and Ukrainians .what abouth the suriyeler ? dsljfdslnkfsljfs
Regarding the possibilities of being conscripted into the Russian Army.
We can look at some of the Russian UA-camrs who do videos just as Mick And Trudie do. When we look at them we see many young people, (Lots of young guys ) going anout enjoying their lives without a care in the world seemingly. They seem to be unmmarried many of them probably with no dependents. Yet they do not seem terrified of being conscripted ? To uproot young children from their education and environment and take them to a foreign nation is no small thing.
I'm sure the wirld will be a different place in years to come and other nstions besides America and the European ones will have a bigger say in things.
America and its global domination wi one day be no more.
I wonder what the children of the "brave" men who fled their nation will think about things then ?
Hopefully, they'll be more respectful as residents than as holiday makers and return to their homeland when peace is restored
They are very peaceful I lived there for 5 years.
They can't go back unless they want to be prosecuted.
@DJIDroneTravel Perhaps in their own country they are, but having been on holiday in Sharm over 40 times and now in Turkey countless amount of times they're not very respected
Amazing interview, thank you Mick and Ted
The chap you interviewed, I think he was very brave in what he was saying about his country. I was in the army when the Cold War was on, and this is the way Russia is going back to, and I bet he watches over his shoulder, even living here. Good interview.
Very informative video thank you both for the content
Hello! I live in Fethiye. I feel for all Slavic people, Russian or Ukrainian, all kind-hearted people. I hope the war ends soon and they return home and the families live happily together. I wish them to live peacefully during their time in Türkiye.
You can say Türkiye,please.
I look forward to them being able to RETURN home.
@@debuthunter5389Deport!
I’m here in Olu Deniz right now and am staggered by how many Russians are here. Not that I have any issue with it. When their kids and my kids play together, I wonder if it wasn’t for politics and religion, what would be left to really divide us.? Ultimately as people and parents especially, we all mostly share the same values. It’s in our values we should aim to seek unity and put aside invisible boundaries made by politicians.
Thank you for such a lovely comment, and I totally agree with you
Many Russians in the UK too. Good people.

This is 1917 all over again when so many Russians fled to Turkey to escape the Bolcheviks. History has a way of repeating itself if lessons are not learnt. Very sad.
His Story, is planned / Re written, by and told by a few, To the many.
History always seems to repeat itself in Eastern Europe... literally. Let's just hope the Russian Civil War 2.0 doesn't happen again
They don't know history because they don't teach it. Ask a Russian to tell you what they learned about the Revolution and both World Wars. It's insane.
LOL 😂
I'm a History teacher ... and I can tell you don't know much about history !
Funny how people confidently make a link with a past event just after reading a book about the Bolsheviks... or maybe after watching a couple Hollywood movies.

Very informative. Good luck to all. Keep well

This person is brave. There is a new law in Russia that can put him behind bars for "distribution of fake information about Russian army" even though he was careful not to say something dangerous. I hope he will succeed in moving to Finland.
There is a war in Ukraine.
In Russia, people support the war and are not trying to change the government.

The world believes that Putin is being unlawful, so is it wrong to not join and not to want to be a part of his ideas?
@@mickandtrudie Bravo 👏 for the believers then.
Great interview, and it was nice to see some different type of content.
The people freelancing and bringing Turkiye foreign currency are actually helping with the economy. They are growing the pie. With that said, Turkiye is not a free buffet where anyone can come and make the life more difficult for the local residents by adding to the inflation ( the produce need to feed 100 million instead of 86 now, finding houses for rent or sale is a challenge if not impossible) and by diluting the Turkish culture with their traditions. Of course we are all for helping the people who had to flee their country for any reason and yet, Turkey had major problems of it's own before, now we are struggling to deal with a new kind of beast.
We understand these difficulties and we have Turkish friends in this situation. Hopefully things will be better in the near future. İnşallah
He ran away from dictatorship into another dictatorship 🤔
@@nurpars846 😂😂 I'm sure he would have stayed in Russia if there was no war. A war is worse than a dictator, you know! Having 2 evils (Putin and war) is worse than having one evil. 😂😂
I'm in oludeniz at the moment and i was talking to a stall holder about the Russians the stall holder was saying they're not friendly people and are very rude. I myself have noticed they're quite rude people. But can't tar everyone with the same brush but that's the general feel in oludeniz
Slavic inferiority complex.... Western political class, aristocracy, elites never saw Russians as Europeans they saw them as backwards, primitive people so when they come to our country they all about showing off they think like they are superior ....Their mindset stayed in 19th century and Soviet regime didn't helped to change that....They will live in a Khushcovka commie block apartment but they will act, speak down to you like they born and raise in Buckingham palace...I worked with them in Antalya a lot back in the days I am very aware of what runs in their dna how they view themselves and how they view others
Truth
David I'm sorry to have to say it but my wife and I have found a lot if Eastern European people to be rude. We've experienced it in Poland and a few other places.
@steveforum133 yes I agree but turkey is so different from ant other middle Eastern country
poles are very rude too @@steveforum133
It is very important for Turkey to remain neutral in this war (on paper). This occupation will not continue until the end of the world. Eventually, the two countries will reach an agreement. Russia does not accept Poland or America mediating, and Ukraine does not want Belarus or China mediating. Turkey is the only country that can communicate with both sides. Hopefully, the occupation will end soon.
Mick Amca ellerinden öperim. Allah uzun ömür versin sana.
Turkiye is NOT neutral in this war by the way
Good interview Mick. Well done..
A lot of awkward questions but excellent interview.
So funny, amazing and, at the same time, disgusting to read comments like "I feel for the Russians who fled the war..." Just wait a little - is there any war in Russia, have I missed something? Is there a single house in Russia destroyed by a missile or a bomb? Are there tens of thousands of civilians killed in Russia by invaders? The answer to all these questions is "no", since the war is going on in Ukraine and it is exactly Russians who started the war and keep killing Ukrainians. Actually, those you are "feeling for" are not against this war, they just want to watch it on the internet or TV from a distance... Over 80% of Russians do support Putin's invasion of Ukraine, no matter what they say aloud about it in their interviews, especially when interviewed in safe places like Türkiye. No matter how and when this war ends, there will never be any peace between the two nations again - Ukrainian kids will always remember all those nights they spent in bomb shelters and basements.
@hardlyever6116 - I feel very sorry for Ukrainians, but we should also feel for the educated Russians who are against Putin's dictatorship and this stupid war.
very interesting interview. thanks for this valuable video

I feel for the Russians and whoever has to leave their country and start over in a different place. It's a tough challenge. I immigrated to Australia from Iran and I completely understand the culture shock and language barrier issues new immigrants face. Good interview Mick. I love your videos.

You can tell that Mick is almost enforcing Western propaganda/view of this conflict between the USA and Russia on viewers of this video. He asks questions and he answer them himself. This Russian guy is too shy or his English is not strong enough to express himself.

I totally agree, Margaret
Absolutely correct. And in foreign currency, the rents are fine. Considering the inflation, the rents increased less than the real inflation.

It is false to give the citizinship for money, i think it is important firstly learn the turkish language, than learn the culture, for the integration. It is a process. In Germany, in the past, you get german citizinship after minimum 8 years, you must show with documents that you can talk the Language, that is important. I am against to give citizinship for money. You must earn it, but not with money.

Brilliant interview Mick and thankyou both for doing it. Hearing the truth says a lot. At least they are keeping hostilities away by not engaging with each other probably for the best.
This interview is was the mainstream media in the West comparing Russia to 1940s Germany and North Korea I think is wrong.
Mike,
Greetings from London! Thank you for making these videos for my country and I am grateful for your love of Turkey. Turkey has been a land of refuge for many people in many centuries. I grew up in Istanbul in 1970s and 1980s, have seen a flax of Iranians after the revolution in Iran, seen many people from Ruanda and other parts of Africa in 1980s and 1990s, now of course have a lot of Syrians, Afghans and Russians perhaps Ukrainians too. In some way, it is an honour to have people finding safety in Turkey, but also as you know this comes with many problems too. In that way, I think UK also had been a refuge in a different way to many people. Best wishes.
Thank you very much for this video. War is just business and management of puppets. Peace and no War.
I'd noticed a lot of Russian and Ukrainian visitors to Türkiye 3 years ago with most restaurants showing prices in ₽. Similarly, in April around Fethiye there was a lot of Russian spoken. Back at the time of Vietnam, Americans were going to Canada to avoid conscription. This is no different really.
Fascinating video Mick. Thanks for shining a spotlight on the issue.
Interesting comment thank you
There were not millions of Americans going to Canada to avoid the draft...more like several hundred.
@@tootz1950 Estimates vary between 30,000 - 60,000 young Americans who emigrated to Canada during the Vietnam war. Not on the scale here maybe but still a not insignificant number.
@@jeffb1214 Where did you get those figures and are you sure those were draft dodgers? Many Americans each year immigrate for one reason or another to Canada, even in peace time.
Very informative interview Mick Amca. I’m sure many people have had the same questions in mind - keep up the good work
very good interview.
a frank talk. well done to both !
I hope situations in Russia get better soon so they can get back to their home but I wish the very best while they are here because they are actually running from a war.
Situation in Russia? It’s like.. Russia will stop to be authoritarian system, killing neighbours? It is not alien attack, it is what Russians are doing, exactly. And those who left their country are not very against it, in majority
well done mick and Ted . The world is a better place without war.
Thankfully we in Britain didnt have to flee to other countries a 20 yrs ago, when we launched a war based on lies, known lies at that.
A war that cost the lives one million Iraqi people by informed estimates. Besides the cruelties and atrocities meted out.
We managed to fight with our allies without resorting to that. Or having to drag men young and old of the streets to fight on the front line with very little training. This has been known to happen in Ukraine.
I was in mamaris last week it was very nice 👌
Thanks glad you enjoyed our small city
I have heard that because of the amount of Russians etc that have arrived in Turkey , house prices have gone through the roof.
It depends where in Türkiye ? foreigners who come here mostly go near resorts but they only make up about 5% of the housing the rest is movement of Turks from the earthquake areas and the cities after covid most rentals are Turkish owned by the wealthy Turks who have bought 2nd and 3rd homes in resorts but they are mostly empty in winter 🧐🤠
Yes, definitely they did, especially in Antalya and Mersin!
It must be of concern that Russian spy services have followed them.
It's not like they are in the witness protection programme.
I wouldn't be surprised if elements of the Russian mafia have also moved there.
I hope I'm wrong but the thought of it is disturbing especially as I keep looking at property there for my own retirement.
I truly hope I'm wrong .
As a British tourist, I can buy Russian currency. I collect banknotes and their notes are very unusual. I can greet them too in Russian.
Mick Amca Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel video için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍
All Mick was doing was instead of giving his perspective, he asked the Russian to give us some background. I think Mick was not being political, just giving us an insight into the teasons and difficulties in tge influx of these people in Fethiye and Turkiye.
James, I wanted to highlight the fact that many people around the world are trying to escape conflict, and I feel we should not rebel or be angry with these people for relocating somewhere else 🤠
The early part of the interview was better than the latter part. The Rusdisn guy was definately nit very fluent on the English language. He was very slow and halting. Maybe a translator could have been used.
Its unfortunate that towards the end mick put a few words in the guys mouth (Watch it again) Mick called putin "Crazy" The fact that he did this made me dislike the video.
But Putin is crazy and a despot
Danke Mick Amca 😂❤🙏
Let's be honest, most have come to avoid the war/draft and take advantage of what a beautiful country Turkey is. It's not just the Russian's ! The are plenty of Ukrainian's flooding in as well, with Zelensky getting more out of control as a dictator. Just returned from our 2nd Turkey holiday and the is no mistaking the worry from Turks/Kurds alike about rent/house prices going up.
This was very important and enlightening for me. To hear that, as with the U.S., the military industrial complex has considerable influence in Russian geopolitical policy, just confirms for me that, collectively there is a global effort to gaslight everyone to forward a global elitist agenda.
My prayers and best wishes to all the hard working and great people of Russia and Ukraine, who have to endure this unnecessary idiocy.
Unfortunately, I know we in the U.S. are not far behind, as well as Europe
So strange that others dont see this from our angle (Americans). The war was started by the West to further monetary gains for a few folks with the help of govt intervention. Putin to me seems the only one who actually is looking out for the interests of Russia as a nation.....otherwise, Russia would be in control of other 'interests.
Sounds like Turkey is the place to be ,can't wait
It’s got it’s ups and downs just like everywhere
Great interview. Thanks to brave Russian guy. I wish you can raise your voice up and enlighten to other people of Russia and try to contact Ukrainians and collaborate to stop this war and hate each other. Good luck.
mick yaptığın en anlamlı videolardan biri olmuş. teşekkürler.
Compared to area of Turkey, Australia area is 9 times larger than Turkey, Russia is 20 times at least larger than Turkey, Brasil area is 8 times larger than Turkey, Argentine area is 5 times larger than Turkey.
nice work mick
They are even in Mersin. Because the apartments there are cheaper. And now, according to this Russian program, apartments there are becoming more expensive. ua-cam.com/video/Kbo9i9lQK_Y/v-deo.html There are many similar programs in Russian that give people information about which countries and how to immigrate. I know Russian language, so I know the general situation there. And recently I saw a video that was watched by over a million people: some guy says don't come to Turkey, the government has changed the laws again and is not giving residence permits. And some Russians in Alanya, under this video, complained about what we will now do with the apartments, cars that we bought here, it’s like we are trapped and don’t know what to do next, since we couldn’t get a residence permit.
These are some other programs that promote migration: ua-cam.com/video/QoIQtZcxZXA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/vQX73MFm4RE/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/GTDfkK7HaTE/v-deo.html
Thanks Turkiye people
Was this interview done in Sunset Beach Resort in Calish? It looks like it a lot; I used to live there! I miss that neighborhood.
It’s in our garden in Çalış 🤠
@@mickandtrudiegorgeous garden. So peaceful.
It is the garden of a block of apartments 😂🤠
@@mickandtrudie really well kept. Great interview by the way. Thanks for showing the Russian perspective. All humans suffer in war. Only monsters benefit.
oh .. ok; it looked a lot like Sunset Beach and remembered many Russians lived there. - thanx @@mickandtrudie
Why? Because they scared to death to go to Ukraine as soldiers.
They were happy with what putin has been doing in Ukraine until there was their turn to take kalashnikov and die somewhere in Ukraine near Donensk or Mariupol.
Wow you must be super fit with all those assumptions you jump-to
@@Pyjamarama11 It's true. Until the Russian draft they stayed in Russia. Didn't you hear him say why the Russians have left their country?
@@tootz1950 everyone wants to stay home unless they are forced by situations to leave!
@@carmenpeters728so why act all noble and brave about it? Like some kind of opposition figure which he is not
Another great video Mick. I am so glad you touched on this, as we all know politics gets in the way of Human and social interactions. As we can clearly see. Thank god Ted , can see through all the Propogander.
Önemli bir konuya değinmişsiniz Mick Amca. Bu güzel ve yararlı video için teşekkür ederim.
Apologies for the typos by the way. I cant find any edit facility.
My Metu Civil Engineer Akin Ozguc works and live in Atrau Kazakhstan Enka Bechtel Construction of Refineries for 30 years and earn 8000 USD per month for 20 years time. His kazakh passport wife , 1 kazakh and 1 turkish passport Holder daughters always live in Georgia Tbilisi and attend to İntl School.
Let us hope and pray Mick that this terrible conflict soon ends and they have a peaceful settlement.
So many young men have lost their lives its horrific, if one of our western nations had sustained these huge losses their would have been uproar even in these apathetic times. There would have been calls for talks.
Stand up and take a bow! This was fantastic. Would you like to interview other refugees and emigrates to Turkiye? It's so rare to hear from them one on one. At Kemeralti Bazaar, I saw a lot of Syrians, and ' Romani ' ( sorry I'm going by their style of dress ). Most of them appeared sad and stressed and children were truly stressed and traumatized. There is some resentment from the locals, although they do hire them in the service sector.. I only speak English and Maltese (Maghreb/Italian), and just a little Turkish, so I wasn't able to speak with people who are actually experiencing this. Please consider more interviews if you find the opportunity. I was only there a couple weeks last May and already long to return.
Hi Mick, are you planing to visit the Black sea region ?
Yes we should have been there now but we’re in the UK for family reasons 🤠
Here in Canada we are also moving towards like north korea with little steps.
Canada is totally screwed with Truedope as PM
In Bali and Thailand as well
Dear Mick, thank you for your wonderful videos.
Please, would you be so kind as to give us a follow-up on this Russian man?
What a stupid question would putin use nuclear weapons er no ask who as a the only country in the world usa have already done it has everyone forgotten
All due respect Mick and Trudie, I have to tell you that as Turkish citizens we don't want this type of arrogant people amongst us.
It is obvious he is laundering money and he is dull, he is afraid and seems sneaky. His salary from his 'partners' for a job done remotely and online doesn't fit for this guy. I don't see the light in him.
If you run away from your country and live in Turkey then you should at least try to learn a little bit of the language and have some cultural exchange. These people come to Turkey like they are martians and when they go back all they remember are the bad and dumb stories.
True, in Indonesia too many arrogant russian, criminal, rude, the worse tourist u see. They rude, they scam, if u see Israely settler then u see same way with russian mental.
Very arrogant.
How big change when they come to society.
Please becareful for turkish. I hope turkish government understand n do something, dont wait till too late.We love good people. N yes we dont need arrogant people n ruin everything.
And the truth behind, its rusian government program to doin invasion. Bring ruaaian to europe n other continents.
Same way what u see in israel . More than 5 millions citizen of israel is rusia.
Becaful
Bu röportajı yetersiz buldum ...Rus arkadaş da çok tutuktu ...
akıcı ingilizcesi yok bide sorulan sorular çok politik adam dikkatli cevap vermeye çalışıyor başına iş almamak için
Sometimes we find something majestic and beautiful. It lives parallel to all these Grammys. Probably the way it should be.
As a Turkish, our hospitality is not endless. Our own people are struggling with their needs. I really want the government to make it harder for foreigners to settle here, considering how hard it is for us Turks to get a visa to abroad. Anyone can surely visit and enjoy the country but when you're done, please leave.
Türkiye is under invasion! Nobody knows exactly how many Syrians are settled in Türkiye with temporary resident status! Millions and millions of them! And none of them want to go back, even if the things are settled pretty well there now! In addition to that disasterous millions, every single day more and more Afghans, Pakistanis and Africans (almost all single young men) are carried to Turkish borders and settling in Türkiye illegally, like illegal border crossings from Mexico to the USA. Iraqis and Iranians also acquire citizenship in record numbers by purchasing real estates. The granting of citizenship by purchasing real estate should be abolished immediately. When will the borders be strengthened against illegal crossings? And how come Russians can get residency permit in Türkiye that easily? If all these nightmarish circumtances are not indicating a fire alarm, I really don't know what else we need to wake up and take immediate actions. No happy ending with these extremely reckless, indifferent and ignorant policies. Watch out Türkiyem, beware!
Do you think it’s the fault of the government?
@@mickandtrudie yes and no. though I dont like the current government, I can easily see and understand the fact that the "powers" that be are forcing the hand of our government. Either you get along with the WEF agenda or you get your economy destroyed. In Turkiye's part it was becoming a melting pot for all the refugees all across the globe.
The term inbetween refugee and migrant should be and stay different. We don't have any problem with migrants, who would invest and work in our country and would rather integrate themselves into our culture and society atleast to the point not loosing their own cultural identity. I don't see any problem with that. But can't say the same for refugees, they're given free welfare and healthcare, a better education for their young, getting into better schools without any going through any exam or the hustle citizens have to, can do tax free investments and take the earnings out of the country easily, all monetary support and welfare support for each and every kid they bring here or have here while the actual citizens dont recieve anything similiar to that... the list could go on for hours. Put aside the fact that they're seuxally harassing our women on a daily basis, they think that the Turkish women are booty of war, anyways I dont want to go into that subject here because the liberals of my country who align themselves with Globalism and cultural Marxism easily will also easily jump on me and accuse me of being fascist or so...
The Russians can stay, as long as they dont turn out to be sleeper agents :D :D im kidding.
@@mickandtrudie the government is filling their coffers on their own people's expense, somehow their ridiculous monetary policies must be financed. Erdogan was asked before the election if he's going to do something about the immigrants and he said "we're not going to change anything".
dont worry how we send armanians greeks one day we will send all migrants and refuges
And you basically export them to EU 🤬
There is sun, foods, and friendly country. Mick amca savaşı kim kazanacak? Düşüncelerini bekliyoru?
They all go away soon or later.
Hopefully they can safely return home soon.
That was one of the best interviews you have done it just shows how the people of Russia feel about the war
How few people of russia you mean. What the majority in russia thinks you have no idea until you learn russian and go read their forums, or speak to your ex friends and families in russia. They support the war.
Rubbish. Try interviewing a much larger sampling of Russians in Russia as well to get to the truth. A selective ONE MAN DODGER IN TURKEY doesn't speak for the whole of Russia, of course. Just saying the bare basics ...
most of those Russians support this war, they just won't say so. This guy is just a draft dodger, no more. And there is no war in Russia btw, war is in Ukraine, Ukrainian people are getting killed right now by this guys landsmen. Don't be so naïve please.
It’s warm, that’s why 😍
Very well done. I think he is typical of Russian who do not agree with the politics in Russia and have left. Most of the Russian I have met are well educated and polite.
the reason is : no need visa - can buy property - can open bank account and the turkey have business with Russia they can work there ; there is not many country you can do all this
Респект парню, кто не хотел никого убивать или быть убитым - на земле другого народа (украинского). Привет из Лондона от русской киевлянки. Буду в Мармарисе скоро с семьей на отдыхе. I love Turkey. Живу в Англии больше 20 лет.
