I already opened this topic,but no one noticed.
Well,I´m from Serbia,as you probably know. 
 And I wanna know more about relationship between Serbia and Turkey.
And what Turks think about Serbs? Do they hate us?
I´m still a child,so,of course,I don´t know so much about it. This is really important for me to know...
Every opinion is welcome !

what do turks think about serbs and serbia?

hmm. i think turks think nothing about it! no geographical connection, no cultural connection in near past, almost no serbs in turkey... so the result no one thinks about it!

it is a country somewhere in balcans, that´s all.

hmm.. and what about 500 years we was in Ottoman Empire? Do Turks know that?  
Here every day is Turkey on TV- Turkish series,a looot of them... {#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}  

PS:I´ve read somewhere that in Turkey there is 9 milion Serbs,who have a Turkish names,but they still that they are coming form Serbia,they moved to Turkey during the Berlin Congress(1878).

If you ask  10 ordinary Turk on the street , 9 of them will give answers like  "I don´t know" or " I never met a Serbian person" or " I don´t care" .  That´s because ordinary Turks are just trying to get on their lives instead of thinking those kinda questions. we don´t sit and think "we like this people" or " we don´t like that people". That´s not the right question ,Nemanja. 

But the honest answer would be ; You are not as favourite as Azerbaijanis or Bosnians in our eyes. There is still subconscious antipathy against Serbia because of  what your butcher commanders done to Bosnians. 

Personally, I met couple of Serbs before, and they were good people. But those who performed the massacres in Bosnia, brought the shame onto your country.  But its in the past now, we should just take lesson from the past events. And I believe, Serbs and Turks will have better relations in the future. That´s racist politicians that provoke people against others. 

Let´s hope and say  Viva Turkish and Serbian friendship !!,

I´m sorry,but I had to ask. That´s really important to me,I mean,if Turks gonna hate me,I´ll stop learning Turkish. And I don´t agree with you totally,but I won´t tell my opinion,because I don´t like fights. I fight every day with someone,I don´t need to fight here too... Never mind.
Turkish is most difficult language in my area and if could be problems,it would be better for me to learn some easier language like Spanish or French or Russian. You can´t imagine my desire to learn Turkish,but as I said, I don´t know is that good idea for me,should I waste my time for that language,and then when I go to Turkey and Turks could despise me....

Don´t be silly. Why Turks should hate you ??? 

If you are a good person and if you don´t harm other people, then you will be loved by Turks  just as other people. Who gives you those stupid ideas ?

We are good people ,Nemanja. Don´t be scared of us.  

You don´t know Turks enough , seems like. Just come to Turkey and experience it by yourself.

I don´t know. Some people are stereotypical and even I´m good persone,they could hate me. I mean,some Serbs who don´t even know me hate me because I´m learning Turkish,and I like Turkey. I just told if they gonna hate me...
But it seems like Serbia annd Turkey could be friends. I´ve read that some Turk gonna open a factory for a 1500 worker.

That´s  it, You gave the answer of your own question. There are always stereotypical people in every country. Yes, Turkish and Serbian people can be friends , since we have historic ties. ! And you yourself can play a role on this mission. You are a good person Nemanja. And I want to see you become a Turkologist in the future  as you are a clever young man.

Yes I really love that. .Even some people don´t agree with me,I love Turkey,Turk people and I think we should Ottoman empire,you war in Bosnia,and we should live in future,not in past... But most sad thing is that most of them who hate between each other don´t even know a history,they never opened a book,but they ´´heard´´ that somewhere... That´s really sad.Here,most people don´t think bad about Turkey,we love Turkey and Turkish language,Serbian page for Suleiman has a 41.000 fans..

You have about 600 Turkish words in your language and i´m thinking it´s advantage for you. I don´t know, why that topic started tonight in here, but we Turks have no problem with any nation in the world. Yes, we are showing our reactions for somethings, but it doesn´t mean we hate from them. It´s my opinion and it´s up to you at least.

Being a good person is the most important thing. I would always prefer a good Serbian to a bad Turk.

In 1402, Battle of Ankara, 85000 strong Serbs commanded by the Serbian King Stephan Lazereviç himself fought against Timur, on the side of the Ottoman Empire. Lazereviç was also the brother-in-law of the Ottoman Sultan Yıldırım Bayezit.

Timur won the battle. Ottoman army was devastated including their Serbian allies. Most of the Serbians who remained alive never returned back to Serbia.They settled around what is Ankara or Yozgat today and integrated with the local residents.

Prejudices  -  real or imagined  -  seem to have been an issue in the classroom discussions recently. Every nationality wants to know if Turks love them or not. Come on, as if any one of us really believed we are loved or hated not because of what we are but because of where we come from. Nemanja, if a jerk called you names because your nationality why do you pay attention to this person just like the thirty Turks who were friendly and helpful were an exception and he was the rule. Think. It is you who decides how important his statement is.

 

Thinking of ourselves as victims of this and victims of that does not take us very far. Neither does being too much dependent on other peoples likes and dislikes.
