Quoting ramayan:

in appearance turks may look like european but in sense and moral way we think like asian....i dont mean in religious way....we turks came from steppes and after the collapse of ottoman empire we gave a great war against illetaracy and we changed our alphabet we tried to change our mentality and our phisical apperance...but think we cant achieve this....and perhaps i think we lost our own personality....this is because why earopeans like us more than persian or arabic...but this is also why they interest in us....
maybe we ask foreigners about that????its sometimes be nonsense to talk about that as a turk
thx



wow... u really do know that i thought ramayan...
i think that turkish people dont look european though... they have a very dark appearance whereas many europeans have the blonde hair: blue eyes thang going on...

and did the language and alphabet really change?? i heard that there was proof that adam and eve spoke turkish therefore turkish being the first language...?

and yeah... i agree türkiye is definitely trying to change itself to become more european/ american... im very scared that it will completely lose its culture... :S

I am turkish and from my point of view,Turkey is a really strange country.we are nor like araps,neither like europeans.we have lots of contrasts.but in a strange way i like turkey so much.because you can find contrary cultures.if you ask to me,i feel more european then asian.i had been in italy,and i didn't see any big differences between this two culture.

Alright guys here is my opinion: some people wrote here coz they believe they belong to europe or coz of their education level and some people believe they are from central asia coz of feeling natinoanlist (not in bad way) here is my thoughts...
Which part of turkey we atlk about? if we talk about western turkey (marmara / eagean / mediterrenean / black sea) yes these areas are much like europeans.. if we talk about Central anatolia, East and South East, those are completely the other part of the country. People living there feel they are more close to Arab countries .
I know that turks have confussion about what they really are. It s also coz of the political envirenmont. When Turks see USA and EU countries like Austria, France, Denmark,etc.. oppose to Turkey they also help those countries to go far from West. When they feel a warm welcome from those countries Turks see Arab n islam world as another world n the place they hate to be in. But some politic groups (10 % feel they belong to Arab world coz of the religion - 15 % thy belong to central asia coz of the roots ) It s also a question of every Turks. My opinion is Turkey is half European half Asian. But it s also very different than some Asian countries (like Japan HK) People in Turkey are now in change. But not in good way. Being European is not only being Nasty or horny. Is it? I agree Turkey looses its roots from the past and also from the neighbours. Look people in some Arab countries adore Turkey but people in Europe .. they caught up in history.. This hurts Turks. Like you are so eager to be member of a society but not accepted being there. Or they say "ok be member but outside, just do what we need from you.. so you are member" Forget Europe guys.. Enjoy every piece of your land. Europe is getting old n they behave Turkey in bad way just coz they are old now )))))
