The most important reasons for learning Turkish.
I know there are lots of reasons for knowing-visiting Turkey. But I want to know, what is your most important reason for learning Turkish. So you can free to add your reason(s) below. it can be your most important reason, or you think, it should be the most important reason. (There are no limit for reasons, it can be "a boy or girl that you love" or "Turkish literature" or "Turkish sources that you want to understand" or "a Turkish song that you curious about the meaning" or "Turkish poetry" or "Turkish History" or etc....)
I am going to add a reason, for me, it should be one of the most important reasons:

My reason is the fact that I always liked learning foreign languages, but I was only studying languages from the same group of languages - Russian, German, English, Spanish, Latin... They are all somewhat related and I always wanted to learn a completely different language! Turkish is very different and is useful for travelling to TR, which is really worth doing... interesting culture, different people... and how else would you argue with Turkish people if you don´t know their langauge?

My main reason was because of love. But, I have always loved other cultures and languages.
Cem Yilmaz is also a good reason too. I love comedy. My sister-in-law went to see him. I had wished I had studied my Turkish better so I could have went and enjoyed the show with her.

Cem´s presence is hilarious. I can´t understand him either, just the way he move´s and expresses himself through hand gestures is really funny too.

Gencturk, amazing links. Thanks. Here you can read about
Aşık Veysel Şatıroğlu (October 25, 1894 – March 21, 1973), also known as just Aşık Veysel, was a Alevi minstrel and highly regarded poet of the Turkish folk literature. He was born in the Sivrialan village of the Şarkışla district, Sivas, on October 25, 1894 and died on March 21, 1973. He was an ashik, a poet, songwriter, and a bağlama and saz virtuoso, the prominent representative of the Anatolian ashik tradition in the 20th century. He was blind for the most of his lifetime. His songs have usually sad tunes, often talking about inevitability of death.
