guyz i am not good at history .but i wanted to ask turkey is in europe or in asia?

 i think in egypt too u can say u r tukish

 Ooooo!  I am surprised you have not had a barrage of abuse for this one!   Turkey is part in Europe and mostly in Asia.  The split is at the Bosphorus which runs through Istanbul from the Marmara Sea to the Black Sea (or the other way - not sure which way the water flows!)

i ahve no idea what you meran?what do you mean you can say youre turkish ?!?! maybe you understood him wrong?or maybe i didnt undderstand you.....

yeah i am not so good in school cuz i am 12 years old . how wold i know something like that?!!!!

& about my 2nd msg i meant that he is welcome on egypt & when he go there he can say proudly i am turkish

got it?

i dont think he meant that either , he meant when you go to Pakistan and say youre turkish, everybody would open their doors for you,a nd treat you nicely,and ofcorse gumus, he could say that ion egypt and teh same thing would happen

 What about if I go to Pakistan and say I´m American, would I also get the nice treatment?  Just curious..

 Nah!  They´d chuck you out as soon as look at you!!!

 That´s not nice.

  Sadece şaka yapıyorum canım!

Hi, I am from Pakistan.  There is some background that might be useful for you to understand the issue.

First muslim dynasty of India, from 1250 to about 1500 AD was Turkish speaking.  They were central asian turks and people living in modern day afghanistan. Later, mughals (from dynasty of Taimur) become ruler of India. They were also Turkish speaking people. So for a long time, Turkish was the language of the court and most muslim officials of the court were from Turkish race.  Later in mughal era, Farsi (persian) became language of the court and remained so for about 3 centuries.

This leaves us with a lot of common vocabulary and customs. The name of language of muslims of India - Urdu - is itself from Turk origin.

Muslim rulers used to take the "Letter of Legitimacy" for their rule from the Muslim Caliph.  And as such, till end of Khilafat (caliphate), muslim rulers of India too that letter from Ottoman Caliph and Ottoman Caliph was considered the ultimate authority for Indian Muslim rulers.  As such, Ottomans and Turks were considered "one of us", and "brothers".

During Ottoman/Russian wars of 19th century, and then later Balkan wars, indian muslims supported Turks.  The first Urdu novel, Fasana Azad, written in first or second decade of 1800s, is about a muslim youth of india who goes to Turkey to fight with Ottoman armies against Russians.

During first world war, and then later Turkish war of independence, muslims of India physically, monetarily and politically supported Turks.  The unrest in India, "The Jewel of British  Crown", was so strong that british court had to promise to Indian muslims that they´ll protect Turkish state and Caliphate and won´t break it up.

And if I remember correctly, it was a time when Turks were fighting alone.  Arabs and other muslims have been fighting against Turks and were giving full support to British and Allied armies. So in my opinion, at that time when Turks lost almost whole country to the invaders, the support of Indian muslims gave them tremendous moral boost and valuable gold to buy weapons.  And Turks still remember their nearly only allies in that war that without any self interest helped them.

Pakistan is generally a very hospitable nation.  Even Americans are met with very good hospitality (unless off course they go to taliban area), but if you say you are a Turk, you immediately become a good friend if not part of family.

And so far, this has been my own experience with Turks as well. They like Pakistanis.
