Ha ha...All I do is respond to your comments, and I just don´t let you have the last word....but....sorry....I just don´t like to leave your misleading, (or misguided) words stand uncontested. My words are based on my opinion, which is based on research. 
As I have pointed out..over and over and over again.....as you know, the name of the country is Turkey, thus the name of the citizens are Turks...If you have a problem with that, petition for a country name change. Which I mentioned to you, but you didn´t lilke that idea.
"..... I know the Bulgarians don´t consider themselves any kind of a Turk, however the name of their country is derivative of a turkic people. Mexico takes it´s name from the Mixtec people, although there are many Zapotec, Mayan, Tzeltal, Nahua and Mestizo or various European derivitives other people. I haven´t seen them uprising to protest being called Mexican.
BTW In the Italy the term "Turk" was applied to anyone who was Muslim, and had nothing to do with any ethnicity. That term has died out some what, but I´ve heard many of the WWII generation still use it. It´s kind of like Moor could be used for black or Muslim in Spain. The patron saint of Spain is St. James Matamoros. There is a town in called Matamoros which means kill the Moors, meaning Muslims. "
and remember this:
Turk is not a race, it´s the name of a nationality, and the name of an ethnic group....similar naming conventions have been used in other countries..as I pointed out to you in an earlier post. I asked you what you would prefer, no answer. To me it seems you are hung up on the name Turk. Would you prefer Lasland, Kurdistan, Zazalaz? Trakitolia? What do you want, really, other than to sow discontent, that is?
Here it is again:
Most countries have settled on a name for their country. Many of the names actually are derived from some tribe or another, but we don´t hear the people getting upset and calling the names racist. Here, take a look:
Endonyms and most exonyms for Poles and Poland derive from the name of the West Slavic tribe of the Polans
The name "England" is derived from the Old English name Englaland, which means "land of theAngles". The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes that settled in Great Britain during the Early Middle Ages.
The name "France" comes from the Latin Francia, which means "country of the Franks". There are various theories as to the origin of the name Franks: one is that it is derived from the Proto-Germanic word frankon which translates as javelin or lance as the throwing axe of the Franks was known as a francisca.[20] Another proposed etymology is that in an ancient Germanic language, Frank means free as opposed to slave.
Hungary, Atilla the Hun
In the 7th century, Bulgar tribes (likely of central Asian Turkic origin), migrated to the lower courses of the rivers Danube, Dniester and Dniepr under the leadership of Asparukh. After 670 he moved into the Balkan Peninsula with a horde of 50,000 Bulgars across the Danube and in 680 severed Scythia Minor from the Byzantine Empire. A peace treaty with Byzantium in 681 and the establishment of a permanent capital at Pliska south of the Danube marked the beginning of the First Bulgarian Empire. The Bulgars gradually mixed up with the local population, adopting a common language on the basis of Slavonic."
See, you have missed again: Calling a Turk with an Armenian name is aiming a racist insult and it is a racist comment.
That is you keep missing despite the fact that I keep telling you. Got it now? Will you say afew words about this racism? 
I think you should stop coming back again and again about this. But If you want me to comment on your writing, here it is : ´Not everyone is racist but people calling a Turk with an Armenian name in this context is racist. As racist as the word negro, as racist as waving bananas´. Had you answer? and will you stop coming back to this subject again and again? please?
