Yeah, I don't know enough German to navigate. I don't know about deleting, my primary point was to point out the sketchy source.

It seems to me there's some conspiracy (or stupidity) to change people's opinions about either Germany or Turkey here. Check out these two links, which are basically the same situation all over again:

First: https://www.turkishminute.com/2017/07/27/surveys-show-majority-of-germans-avoid-going-on-holiday-to-turkey/

Second: https://stockholmcf.org/surveys-show-majority-of-germans-avoid-going-on-a-holiday-in-turkey/

That second one is the same domain as one I linked up above. I'd personally throw out the lot. What I typically see in these types of "news sites" is that, on top of false news, they'll also be naming each other as sources until it literally loops back around to the original--like an old school web ring.

Yeah, I'm not disputing the source's sketchiness. I guess I haven't encountered false news of this magnitude before - will try to look out for it now.

I sent off a couple of emails to see if can get more info, I doubt I'll get any replies though.
