Concerns Over Uzungöl's Cultural Shift

We came to Trabzon's Uzungöl. We thought we'd look around, but this isn't Uzungöl

anymore, this place

has become an Arab lake. It's very hard to find a Turk.

It's very hard to come across someone speaking Turkish.

All the signs are in Arabic, the license plates are Arabic, and the spoken language is Arabic.

There's absolutely no way to eat or drink anything here anyway.

They're asking for exorbitant prices. You'll see from a few images what we've been reduced to.

I'll share them. My heart is truly breaking.

So, inevitably, your nationalist streak will start showing here.

I'm saying this in today's economy, they're having an amazing vacation

with amenities

you could never afford. They're having a great vacation with all the means at their disposal.

They're using phones you can't afford right now, and driving cars you can't afford,

and eating food you could never afford.

I'll share a few images with you that will make your hearts ache.

So those who allow this should not say, "I'm Turkish."

They should never say, "I'm a nationalist." We have become completely Arabized.

I'll leave everything to your judgment.

VIP cars everywhere.

As you can see, even all the presentations are in Arabic. Everything is in Arabic.

Everything you can think of is in Arabic.

Look, look over there.

Okay, okay. A digital phone.

Yes, Arab children are having fun. Turkish children are watching.
