  1. He is a conservative right-wing politician, after all; we see a lot of them in European politics these days.

  2. Sure – all those buildings collapsing in your country isn’t dangerous for families but the concept of genders are lol

  3. On the other hand Eurovision became a laughing stock !More politics than talent …

  4. ahhhh, so that’s why turkey’s fertility rate keeps reaching record highs and it’s the fastest growing population in the world, right? oh… record lows and it’s quickly dropping? how can that be if the great conservative protector erdogan is president?

  5. yeah because Sharia law that he is imposing on Türkiye has full respect for the Universal declaration of Human Rights 🙄

  6. Your family destroyed Turkey. It’s funny he was pretending to be a gay rights advocate in his first years. Now he has the power and talking honestly.

    Also biggest threat to families is Erdoğan as he caused fertility to drop to 1.5 and his regime encouraged femicides, also economic crisis he caused made marriages harder for couples. And people of Turkey tend to not reproduce while not married.

  7. Family values, huh? How’s those femicide rates going over there in Turkey?

  8. Thank you for clarifying Erdo, stay in your lane outside civilized world.

  9. did any1 tell him there are lgbtq people in turkey?

  10. Erdogan talking about human rights/values is like a family guy episode

  11. >We understand better what a good decision we have made by keeping our country away from this disgrace for the last ten years.

    We understand better what a good decision we have made by keeping Turkey away from EU membership for the last ten years.

  13. Cool, can you keep yourself away from us as well? We don’t want your “family values”

  15. Inflation, missing earthquake reserve founds, de-secularization… Kemal Atatürk is probably rolling in his grave.

  16. * Lower interest rates to reduce inflation

    * Sharia law is good

    * Everyone else harbours terrorists

    * Accepting gender diversity and orientation has any impact on families

    *… and other stupid comments from Erdogbreath.*

  18. I can just copy and paste the “demagogues without anything else to offer use vulnerable minorities as scapegoats to direct the electorate’s anger away from those who exploit them” everywhere, I guess.

    It’s a real shame that this absolute cartoon level propaganda works. It’s like people have to have some hate valve to vent their fears and clutching onto these simplistic, vicious ideologies is somehow easier than trying to understand what the problem actually is.

  19. Its just laughable that boneheads like him think that seeing gay people turns you gay or destroys a classic family. Nothing Like that Happens. But at least people can be free. None threats families If you dont want to see it just watch something else. Is it that hard? People Like him and other rightwingers are freaking paranoid. Thats what they are.

  20. Well… okay. That leaves us one question to the Turks:

    Who minds another airborne tragedy?

  22. I would totally watch it if they organize Axis-vision next year, with Turkyie, Iran, China, North Korea, Hungary and Russia (among others) competing to see who’s got the manliest singer of the world.

  24. “…and so please let Türkiye join the EU, thank you.”

  26. Ok, so we have seen how Eurovision has proven itself, especially the EBU, to be controversial and far from perfect. But then Erdo will ofcourse say something that should make you realise that there will always be someone worse.

  27. What a shit show that the people of Turkey relected this moron!

  28. Right wing authoritarians love talking about family values when targeting LGBT people. Meanwhile gay couples are some of the nicest parents you can have.

  32. those evil queer people forcing cis straight families to abandon their identities… oh wait

  34. inb4

    “There is no such project, and no NGO ever attempted to reform entire languages in the name of inclusivity. You are all imagining things, nothing to see here!”

  35. Idiot. Liar. That’s not the reason you banned Eurovision. You banned it because the potential Turkish candidates said they were gonna show their support for 2013 Gezi protests at the show.

  36. I hope he passed the message to his friend in Azerbaijan.

  37. I may dislike him but he ain’t wrong tho. People are not blind and can easy see that ‘certain’ ideology is standing on pedestal at ESC.
