Peace in country Peace in world ...M.K.ATATURK

 

Mevlana Celalettin´s words:
"gel, gel, ne olursan ol yine gel.
ister kâfir, ister mecusi, ister puta tapan ol yine gel.
bizim dergâhýmýz, ümitsizlik dergâhý deðildir.
yüz kere tövbeni bozmuþ olsan da yine gel..."


"Come, come, whoever you are.
Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn´t matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times
Come, yet again, come, come

 

 

 

Love your neighbors -Lets first learn how to be humans

 Yes, dear Ros always starts debates, then glides off into the sunset 

 

I always picture her with matches in hand, striking one, throwing it into the kindling that is TC, then quietly moving on to her next subject with a secret smile on her face.

TheAenigma, {#lang_emotions_bigsmile} It was bonfire night yesterday, and if Ros glides off into the sunset, she has still left a nice ending. OR AS SHE{#lang_emotions_angel}

Quoting Roswitha

 Greeks and Turks have more in common than they might like to admit. First of all, the food. Giant slabs of meat roasting on a stick - call it kebab or call it souvlaki, it´s the same thing. Then there is spanakopita, or borek in Turkish, olives, white beans in tomato sauce (fasuliye or fasolada) and the sweets: baklava, helva, kadayif, not to mention all the yogurt....

They have many words in common, too, despite the complete difference in language. They both drive with a devil-may-care attitude, and use the already narrow sidewalks as parking lanes. Both countries are fiercely proud of their history, language and culture - if you listen to a Greek, they invented everything, if you listen to a Turk, their country is the very birthplace of civilization. And if you have problems with the evil eye, they will sell you the same charms in Athens as in Istanbul.

 I noticed that both Greeks and Turks have very much in common.  I mentioned to a Turk once that I wanted to go to Greece and he said "why go to Greece when Turkey is so much better".{#lang_emotions_bigsmile}

Quoting cedars

 Wait a minute...I thought We, phoenicians, invented everything

 

I truely think that mediterraneans have many things in comon and they should focus more on what unites them instead of what divides them.

 

Roswitha, you forgot to mention the most important beverage in the region and that is arak (arabic) Raki (turkish), Ouzo (greek), Oghi (armenia). It is so good with kebab especially when it is home made. cheers.

 

And don´t forget Sambuca from Italy. Very similar drink (and my favorite)

Yes I love it too, but I only put some icecubes in it, not water like I put with raký or ouzo. Not everyone seems to agree that they are ´very´ simular though: I had two friends from the Netherlands with me on holiday this year, and we always drink Sambuca together on a night out, but they really couldn´t understand how people can drink raký.
