Turkey has the lowest figures in the OECD for education attainment. In 2009, the last figures available, only 18.3% finished upper secondary schooling(high school).[1] Further, the population of Turkey that is totally illiterate, is roughly the size of Denmark's population at 5.6 million.[2] In addition to all that, according to a poll almost 70% of Turks said they never read a book in their whole lives and 9 out of 10 never took a single holiday abroad(meaning they are poor, provincial and ignorant)![3] Adding to their humilitation, 10 million Greeks publish almost twice as many new title books every year, compared to 74+ million Turk-rab-Kurds of Turkey.[4] Worst of all, 21.1% of Turks nationally are inbred retards![5]
