Looks like not as bad as seen on TV’s or at the internet media. Turkey is intensified now to the early elections. Nobody has much time for antisemitism. Erdoğan has started to play again its heroism show of Palestinans but its impact is narrow . French declaration on antisemitic verses of Koran drove mad all politics .
Most of the Jews now got a Spanish or Portuguese passport. This has opened a wider movement opportunity especially for youngsters for higher educational purposes as well as for working. Brilliant ones are already catched by international head hunters. Turkey’s economy has been damaged badly by the Syrian war, and also with bad management of course. Regretfully we have never had any farsighted diplomats . Our relationship with our neighbours is bad and getting worse. Syria became the battlefield of Russia, USA and Iran. Turkey is extremely affected .
Nowadays our south eastern border is more calm. Turism industry started to revitalize. This is extremely important for Turkey. Needless to say if the economy is good Jews also benefit being in the same boat.
It remains roughly 10000 jews in Turkey. We started to have difficulties to protect our ancient heritage like old sinagogues that we owe. We got some tiny help for abroad but it is not sufficient. It started to become an important field of turistical curiosity. Its faint income does not help much.
Eldery people percentage is very high , bringing alongwith some kind of poverty among them. Pension system is not good in Turkey. Geriatric problems are increasing and our management is suffering to assist them fully.
Mixed marriages are full throttle!
