Hungary won't eat Turkey. Never forget that it's Turkeys that do the gobble-gobble-gobbling. :-) (Same disclaimer as veritas'.) --PR

Now you know why native Americans are really, really lucky Columbus was looking India and not Turkey. But- in case you want to know the REST of the story, the turkey, big fat edible bird, was in fact named after the nation of Turkey, even though the turkey we know and love and eat is a native American bird. this is because early explorers thought the birds resembled "Turkish hens".

"Now you know why native Americans are really, really lucky Columbus was looking India and not Turkey." Wait now i get what you ment. Yes you are right, they are lucky that columbus comepletely destroyed them and left them as 1% of the population rather than Turkey coming and conquering them but not killing 99% of them off. Your very right...

Ben Dear veritas, you misunderstood! My apologies. 7/16/2002 1:45:57 PM

Sorry, my sentence was ambiguous. The native americans were fortunate that Columbus was looking for India, because they are now called "Indians". If Columbus was looking for Turkey, they might be called "Turkeys" today.

Think about this the croats are croaking, the bulgarians are bulging, the hungarians are hungry. Also have you ever seen a greasey turkey. The two never mix

Smell Greeks around here ..I mean fanatic loosers < big fat usual loosers:):):) any way I dont mind as I`m Turkish as we call the big bird HINDI (ENG. HEENDEE ).. ( in Turkish means ... WHO COMES from INDIA...)and I do not know hows the Indian or Japs calling it?? ************************************************* NOW LETS LOOK HOW OTHERS DESCRIBED THE TURKEY:):) ps; yanks and limes... after reading this script youre going to shame a little ..offcourse not you PALIKARYA!!..YOU DONT EVEN KNOW MEANING OF THE SHAME DOU YOU?? Echoes of the Kunuri Battle "4500 soldiers in the middle of the firing line have known how to create miracle. The sacrifices of the Turks will eternally remain in our minds." - Washington Tribune "The courageous battles of the Turkish Brigade have created a favorable effect on the whole United Nations Forces." - Time "The surprise of the Korean battles were not the Chinese but the Turks. It is impossible at this moment to find a word to describe the heroism which the Turks have shown in the battles." - Abent Post "The Turks have shown in Kunuri a heroism worthy of their glorious history. The Turks have gained the admiration of the whole world through their glorious fighting in the battles." - Figaro "The Turks who have been known throughout history by their courage and decency, have proved that they have kept these characteristics, in the war which the United Nations undertook in Korea." - Burner - U.S. Congressman "There is no one left who does not know that the Turks, our valuable allies, are hard warriors and that they have accomplished very great feats at the front." - Claude Pepper, U.S. Senator "I now understand that the vote I gave in favor of assistance to Turkey was the most fitting vote I gave in my life. Courage, bravery and heroism are the greatest virtues which will sooner or later conquer. In this matter, I know no nation superior to the Turks." - Rose - U.S. Senator "While the Turks were for a long time fighting against the enemy and dying, the British and Americans were withdrawing. The Turks, who were out of ammunition, affixed their bayonets and attacked the enemy and there ensued a terrible hand to hand combat. The Turks succeeded in withdrawing by continuous combat and by carrying their injured comrades on their backs. They paraded at Pyongyang with their heads held high." - G.G. Martin - British Lieutenant General "The Turkish forces have shown success above that expected in the battles they gave in Korea." - General Collings - Commander US Army "We owe the escape of thousands of United Nations troops out of a certain encirclement to the heroism of the Turkish soldiers. The Turkish soldiers in Korea have added a new and unforgettable page of honor to the customs and legends of heroism of the Turkish nation." - Emanuel Shinwell - U.K. Minister of Defense "The heroic soldiers of a heroic nation, you have saved the Eighth Army and the IX'th Army Crops from encirclement and the 2nd Division from destruction. I came here today to thank you on behalf of the United Nations Army." - General Walton H. Walker, Commander, Eighth Army "The Turks are the hero of heroes. There is no impossibility for the Turkish Brigade." - General Douglas MacArthur - United Nations Forces Commander in Chief "The military situation in Korea is being followed with concern by the whole American public. But in these concerned days, the heroism shown by the Turks has given hope to the American nation. It has inculeated them with courage. The American public fully appreciates the value of the services rendered by the Turkish Brigade and knows that because of them the Eighth American Army could withdraw without disarray. The American public understands that the United Nations Forces in Korea were saved from encirclement and from falling in to the hands of the communists by the heroism shown by the Turks." - 2 December 1950, from the commentary of a US radio commentator The Turkish Brigade, as can be understood from the summary of the Kunuri battles and the echoes it produced in the world, had successfully accomplished its mission. The Brigade was proud to have informed the country of the news of success which the state and nation expected, at the highest level. A handful of soldiers had provided the state with power, great opportunities and esteem.

As a Turk, I must say that I do not (and can not) aprove what Johnyturc says in his first paragraph. Noone has right to say anything bad to another nation. A Turk must know it better than anyone else as we are the targets of these unkind and unjust arguments more than most of other nations. Any offended gentlemen, please accept my apology on the behalf of the majority of Turks who never aproves these kind of arguments.

Greetings! 1. Celebrim, one of the truly scholarly types on the board made a statement referring to arabic language. it is my recollection that in Turkey you speak - Turkish! Turks are not arabs, nor do you consider yourself such. is that a correct statement? 2. What the jonnyturc clown said, much was drivel of a troll, but he made some points I have to agree with - or rather he quoted history that I remember hearing about. In Korea, the Turkish sector was the safest to be in, due to the communists fear of their Turkish opponents ferocity! The Turks put FEAR into the hearts of the godless communists, therefore things were relatively quiet in the Turkish sector. That's saying something! E.

1. Turkish culture is much different than Arab culture. Arabs also do not consider as one of them. No love lost between both cultures since Arabs betrayal in WW1. Of course this is Turkish point of view to history :) We refer being a Turk is a culture as we never been a race, and only once all Turks were belonged to a single nation which is Gokturk empire in 6th to 7th centuries. It beganned as a confederation of Nomadic tribes but turned into a culture sharing similar values and a common language. Also they created the first Turkish alphabet. There are millions of Turks living in Iran, Balkans, Russia, ex-Soviet republics and China. Not every Turkish groups are Muslim. There are Christian Turks at Romania, Moldovia and Russia. There are Budists at China. Ancient Turks had their own 1 God religion (Gok Tengri) which is confused with Shamanism by Western scholars. 2. At 1948 Soviets demanded some of the border provinces from Turkey. At Korea, our soldiers were fighting for these provinces. "Ally of our enemy is our enemy kind of approach". And that strategy is worked. After our troops success in Korea, we entered NATO and Soviet Russia never repeat its demands. Our constitution let our parliament to pass Declaration of War only for national security. That is generally why even when our governments had wanted to enter both Gulf Wars they could not pass it from parliament. Iraq had never threatened our national security.

"we call the big bird HINDI (ENG. HEENDEE ).. ( in Turkish means ... WHO COMES from INDIA...)and I do not know hows the Indian or Japs calling it??" We dont have a word for a big bird in Hindi, since all our big birds were stolen by the Turks... but we do know that some ppl with bones struck in their throats go "Thu, Thu, Thurk!" Wonder where the bones come from? Probably Hindis...
