Turkey tops misery table
Only 4% of Turks are satisfied with their country
Turkey ranks as one of the most miserable countries in the world, according to a global opinion poll published in December.
More than half of working Turks are unhappy with their job
Some 93% of Turkish people are not satisfied with the state of their country.
At the time the poll was taken the country had a head of government least respected by his own citizens.
The report is grim reading for Turkey and the Turkish people; in response to question after question Turkish citizens reveal themselves to be proudly unhappy with their state of affairs.
Change under way
The report, published by the US Pew Research Center, comments that by all measures the Turks are amongst the unhappiest people surveyed.
Recovery in the national mood will take a long time
Only 4% of Turks say they are satisfied with their country compared to, say, 41% of US citizens or 49% of Pakistanis.
