Call them traitors if you wish, and if this is how you would treat your best and brightest, I can understand why they would leave, and why they may never return.

Well, the majority our best and brightest, thankfully, are still in our country.
But you need to understand. What good am I to my people, if I am not with them? If I severed ties with them, and started to work for the interests of another nation?
Like if I were to be an extension of them in a foreign land, and continue to pursue our own interests there, I'd understand. But sadly, our diaspora is not very organised, and therefore, unsupportive. Yes, they come and go for a holiday, and spend some euros/dollars, but they do fall short in everything.

We each seek to find a place that enables us to pursue that which interests us, a place which allows us to have the greatest impact upon those areas that matter most to us.

Well, I have found the place where I'm most comfortable. The lands of Turan.
Not just Turkey, but wherever our brethren dwell, there is my home.
I seek to help them all, if I can.
But as I said, if I were to leave, I'd leave my people with one less engineer to work with.

For many who immigrate here, it is the quality of life that they may be able to provide for their loved ones, or the opportunity to become something or someone they could not become in the places that they left behind.

I see nothing in America or anywhere else that I cannot find here.
Of course, opportunities can always be created, with patience.
Taking the easy road, and emigrating to a land that actively seeks to recruit the scientists of other nations is not the best way to serve one's people and land.
Some people never ask, my people, my country has done so much for me.
What can I do for my country? Just how can I help to improve the life of my people?
