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...

I think the name was inspired something like this. When the Levent Company traded with the Turkish Empire it brought back the local breed of pheasants to sell for rich folks feasts. Later the pilgrims saw what we now call "Turkeys" in North America and thought they looked similar. Hence the name. However that story is somewhat sketchy. If anyone(including a previous poster on this thread, that I havn't read)knows the story better, I would be interested in finding out.
