Sorry to disagree with you. When you are moving to work outside your country you Must always be as much open minded as possible. This is because you are facing different cultures and religions which may differe alot from your. Sayd this, i can tell you that Turkish culture is based on a very strong sense of pride which is appreciable in every part of day life. Therefore it is noticeable also in aviation (especially old pilots). But, new generation pilots have theyr training outside turkey, university outside turkey and therefore they are more likely to be also more open minded. I noticed this during my beautifull experience in Turkish Airlines which I had to leave a couple of years ago, but where I still have many good turkish friends/colleagues. My overall experience there is absolutely positive.
But again, it depends on how open minded you are able to be. Otherwise you will have the same opinion wherever you go.
Good luck
