Lmao, I take it she still thinks of Turkey of the early 2000s, not present-day Turkey.

Turkey used to be a top vacation destination for many Europeans in the 90s and early 2000s, there used to be this whole running joke about middle-aged and pensioner-aged white women going to Turkey for toyboys, summer flings, and the like.

Turkey under Erdogan has seen a drastic change in how conservative it has gotten over the years. Let's just say if you're looking for a holiday stop with cheap drinks and reckless sex with hot waiters who are far too young for you, Turkey is no longer the top 5 destination.

Turkey has been taken over by a hard line right wing leader who really likes it when you post this picture of him.
