It was simply a feast for ears..

But generally it was more than that just music really..It was the story of Anatolia.. It was what we have in people.. A completely mixture of cultures.. Turks, Kurds, Armenians, Caucasions, Greeks ..A culture, distilled through thousands of years of different civilizations..

Where is the emptiness of Turkish History thesis (It is called TTT- Turk Tarih Tezi, which tries to prove everybody in Anatolia is a Turk and we are all from  central Asia. We brought civilization to everybody etc) and where is the reality?

Just listen to the song after skipping 3 minutes.. Listen to the old Armenian woman singing ..

I am able to feel her pain from her voice..

We must have Armenian classes on this site ....One look at TC in Twitter, would make you think this is an Armenian site....Great pity no one supports my proposal !

That must be because of your Armenian genes you keep mentioning you have. You know as we say "kan çekiyor". ı

I´m still amused at Alpha´s and Si++´s attempts to put Handsom´s post down to his Armenian/Kurdish ancestry. Why is it so hard to accept that some Turks are able to think for themselves and, regardless whether they´re right or wrong, keep their own opinions? Is it a prerequisite to agree about everything when you´re Turkish? lol What if a Turk said they don´t like Turkey? Whom would that make them? Kurds? or maybe Americans? Hmmm oh I know, it would mean they have Greek blood in them - what else than your personal opinions makes your entitlement to a nationality...{#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}

 

It´s so ridiculous for somebody who comes from a country where everybody has a different opinion about everything. lol

Firstly I am the one who is too concerned with their Armenian/Kurdish genes. I simply don´t care about my genetic codes.

Secondly I doubt if he´s a Turk. Of course you wouldn´t. You should know better than me who is a Turk or and who is not, right?

Absolutely ridiculous that sniping and argument has arisen in a thread called "Lost Songs of Anatolia"!!  You guys should really get your heads out of the sand sometimes and take a look around {#emotions_dlg.you_crazy}

Excuse me but I hope you are not going to be accusing me "being too harsh on you because I call you a racist".

Look at "what you are writing", read "the definition of racism", then put your hand on your heart and think if you are a racist or not.

I am not interested in what you call racist/racism. I don´t care whether you call me racist or whatever. I know what I am. You are the one who continuously keep bringing up the subject about Armenian/Kurdish genes in people who happily calls them Turks. I can sense your discomfort with that. You do it on purpose, you are not happy to call yourself Turk, that´s for sure. You find some relief by thinking about the Armenian/Kurdish genes you have in your genetic code. That´s fine but why do always keep mentioning here? Be happy with those genes in you that´s OK, but stop mentioning, it´s getting f**king boring.

Well I know you are proud of being a racist!! In fact, almost all racists are proud of themselves.. 

I dont have a problem with calling myself a Turk..I have never had and I will never be.. But I know there are many in Turkey they dont call themselves as Turks. Obviously that bothers "the racists". And those racists should respect people who dont call themselves Turks and understand that those people are the owner of that country as much as them selves.

In the end, it is a good thing that those racists realize they are simply not from central Asia and they carry the genes of those people they despise and try to belittle. It is good for them to know that they are genetically more Greek/Armenians/Kurds than central Asian Turks..  

But.. lets get back to the topic..

Can you feel the pain in that song I mentioned? have you listened to it? can you realize that what sort of pain it might be? what sort of pain we inflicted on those people? can we try to be a little bit human to understand her suffering?
