Why are all these women in headscarfs and in a village setting? You make such videos and then are surprised about the kinds of stereotypes that people have about Turks.

maybe one can be a simple suburban hard working anatolian woman with lovely headscarfs and then there are the model-like muslim
women with fashionable scarfs who work in the big city. What is the message?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with köylü women, they often lead hard lives and yet they are so strong. One should never forget the diversity in Turkey. Maşallah I think it is a beautiful video.

Those women are a true reflection of what Turkish culture is. Note that those headscarfs are of anatolian native culture, which has nothing to do with Islam, and are seen in many corresponding culture as well, such as Armenian villagers and Greek villagers, who' re christians.

Islamic style clothing is different than Anatolian style clothing. Many tourists, who don't know much about Turkey, might think that It's islamic, but personally I have certainly nothing against the idea that Anatolian Turks are stereotyped as wearing Anatolian clothing.

This is our culture. those are my people!

The models at the last part of the video represent Islamic women. And the person who made that video is trying to show the contrast and differences between Anatolian women and Islamic women.

That video makes a lot of sense to Turkish people, and has a special meaning in it.

I don't get whta is the point of the film?
I agree - the first part is about anatolian women and the clohts they are wearing are turkish not muslim, and that is true that aome turkish women look really fashionable is scarfs on their heads - but what is the connetcion between tose two parts of the film and Karadenizli ( I guess) slogans in it????
