has really turkey been spared from brain drain ? There are millions in germany and other european countries and i d wager they face much less hurdles than most other middleastern immigrants
The more recent immigration to EU, UK and the USA tends to be among the much more highly skilled.
The brain drain of Turkey is at all times high. Doctors, software developers, Engineers are fleeing in thousands. What I meant was, it could have been worse.
Since Erdogan never claimed this as a "Turkish invention" nor talked in the news about it, I suspect the guy not to be Turkish but to be Kurdish. :-)
He has taken stage in Turkey on TV alongside with Erdogan to outline the delivery of vaccines to Turkey several times.
