The documentary shows a horrible trend. i can understand minority alevis migrating to the cities in droves, but so are the Sunnis. Rural Sivas is becoming largly empty, and the land is fertile and can support 10 times the current population. Seems like Turkey is underpopulated in many rural areas now. i believe there are not 80 million people in Turkey, but 120 million. But even then, there is lots of space for Muslims to settle in Eastern Turkey. 80% urbanisation was bound to happen. Food is being mass produced in bigger farms. Villages and their smaller farms are not empty areas. Turkey, with an area of 800,000 sq kms [ the same size as Pakistani ] is fit for human habitation almost everywhere, unlike Pakistan, where half the country is not fit for human habitation even remotely, but has twice the population as Turkey
Rural Sunni Turkey; a very nice documentary made by Aljazeera. Sivas, the eastern Turkish province famous for ataturk's beginnings and for its large alevi shiite population, but still dominated by religious, sufi sunni spiritual Sunni Turks and Kurds http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes...-rural-life-urbanisation-150712174341973.html
