        This is a language I, a Turkish citizen, adamantly refuse to accept or be a part of. Sad and not worthy of our nations stature.

        Ask the Africans/Aborigines what they think of the British/Dutch (vikings much earlier obviously.) They dont care that you, a Turkish citizen, forgive their atrocities.

        I don't forgive their atrocities nor its my place to do so. However using such a foul language, especially regarding events took place hundreds of years ago, is never going to yield any constructive results. It is the same mindset of those who committed said atrocities.

        Tbh, I couldn't understand at all what seems to have happened in Reykjavik - what was all that about? Is there no VIP treatment for a UEFA team??

        They apparently were not scheduled to fly from Konya so the plane was not on the schedule and then procedure was followed for such planes
