The argument is not pointless, rather it very much has the point to show 1 set of people stealing another set of people's lands. "Celebrating the cultural richness" is easy said coming from those who take your land. That city was founded by the Greek/eastern roman emperor Constantine over 1000 years before the Turks stepped foot in those lands.....so sure, easy to say "celebrate cultural richness"
?
Nobody has to leave their phones on the border. But if it's locked, obviously you won't be able to use it with any of the Turkish GSM operators. That's true for any country, not just Turkey.
And to register a new phone purchased outside of Turkey you have to pay around 50$ to get it registered, not thousands of dollars.
ummm, I think its a pretty established fact that turks originated from mongolian and central asian steppes they have NOT always been in Greek areas.
Also there's no problem bringing a phone to Turkey and using it there in roaming. Whoever says otherwise is definitely wrong. I am not Turkish but I travel to Turkey often and I've never had problems using my phones there.
Not to mention, only a bunch of Turkish people would argue over something like this in a technology forum. Have you ever seen in any forum that after someone mentioned the name of New York City, a Dutch guy coming up and calling "Don't you mean New Amsterdam?"
