I probably am.. but wanted to apologize for being one less among the ranks of this village, which I am otherwise proud to be a part of. The love of the land of Ataturk forever lives in my heart. Its just the number of villages I have that I have to diminish, that makes me choose this among the ones I cull from my ranks..

Farewell Turkeye, I love you and always will..

This quatotion is about ANZAC troops, who battled against Turkish Army in 1915, In Gallipoli.This is a peace message. Mustafa Kemal was a comandante in that war, fought against Anzac and Briatin allies.

''Those heroes that shed their blood
And lost their lives...
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country
Therefore rest in peace.
There is no difference betwen the
Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side
Here in this country of ours...
You, the mothers,
Who sent their sons from far away countries
Wipe away your tears,
Your sons are now lying in our bosom
And are in peace.
After having lost their lives on this land
They have become our sons as well''

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk 1934

Ottoman was our ancestor. ottoman died, it was in the past, with his honor and glorious history. ottoman created a peaceful Middle East and Balkans.Palestine, bosnia, Macedonia were governed by Ottoman in peace.

96 percent of Turkeys population is Muslim. Most of them are Turks, official language is Turkish. Turkish state is not a nationalistic state. There are Kurds, Bosniaks, Zazas and Caucasians(from georgia, armenia).more than 80 percent of the millet is Turks.Kurds can use their language in daily life. there is no nationalistic discrimination in Turkey.Our former Republic President was a Kurd, Turgut Ozal.Is there any black president in US? but we have Kurdish president and ministers.Turkish nationlism is a kind of patriotism, not racism.Turkey is not a federal state like Ottoman. Turkish has a unity.
