Does anyone here know who wrote the music for the film Ağri Daği Efsanesi? I reall love the music and have heard multiple versions. I think my favorite is the one by Moğollar

Thanks si++. I guess there wasn´t a big issue with his recording in all those languages? I didn´t realize there were so many other languages in Turkey. 

Quoting si++

 

 

The language is called "Megrelce" which is close to Laz language.

 

The wikipedia page about "Megrelce": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mingrelian_language

The one there now does work, but I had another one that did not work. I just removed it in the end. It was about the 1953 Iranian coup e´etat...

Just FYI...your link works fine.  Not sure why you are having a problem.

As do many of us....then there was Mossadegh....do you know about that? ....or about the British/US intervention that so changed events in the area?

Well, for some reason my link did (even after numerous attempts) not work, so if you are curious, do some research. 

Things are not always what they seem.

andI remember the revolution of 1979

The crack down was brutal....from all accounts, really brutal. I remember the tragic death of Neda. Who really knows what is going on? The whole world is in turmoil now. I wish some of those @!#$% financial wizzards who caused the world wide economic problem would be punished and made to pay it all back. 

It´s a disgrace and they shouldn´t be allowed to enjoy the spoils of their theft while the rest of us suffer. How many deaths have happened from it? How many could not afford medical treatment or who knows what else that led to suffering?

When economy is good, everything goes much better. When people are stressed about where they will live, how they will afford to live all sorts of things come to the surface....and it´s not pretty. Most problems are caused by asset controls. As long as people have something to loose, things are east to control. When people think there is nothing to loose, things get dangerous. It looks like we are entering that time now. 

We have too many problems at home to be looking at other people´s yards to "solve" their problems. For me, I´m concerned with what is going on in my yard.

Are these instances part of a crack down because of the recent uprisings in Iran...or has it always been like this?  We have heard so little of what goes on inside Iran since the Revolution but it seems lately (every week practically) there is a new trial going on that sparks curiosity in the rest of the world.

We, (you and I) aren´t there to be witnesses to what is actually going on. Instead we get carefully filtered news. It is popular to advertise the opression of women as a rallying point for the West. The reality of the situation is different, and exactly what it is, we don´t know.

We do know the people in Iran are unhappy and are attempting to revolt. 

Quoting stumpy

But it is the women that bear the brunt of it.  Do you see men being procecuted for having an affair?  Do you see the men get proscecuted for rape?  The only thing men get killed for in Iran is for being gay.

It is not only women..........There are always rules. There is no escape from rules. Even if one lives as a savage in the jungle, there are rules. Nobody can do what they want, unless it fits into the current rules where they are. We now see demonstrations all over the world against rules. 

Quoting stumpy

that is what I am saying tunci, prior to the revolution those women had the CHOICE, they could chose to dress the way they wanted now they have to obey laws that tell them what to wear, what to say and what to do

Dear si++,

We are getting into a discussion of what is. From my perspective, I see zero as meaning "nothing". Nothing is all but impossible to find. Where is nothing? Everything is filled with something. As humans we come in with a "blank slate" so to speak, but we still come with inate capabilities and attributes which can be enhanced or diminished during our lifetime.

When I say I disagree with the statement that we enter with nothing and leave with nothing, I mean we do not come with nothing and we certainly do not leave with nothing. If one does not consider the spiritual, ethereal as something, it is possible to think there is nothing. Even if one is an aethiest, the realm of the ethereal it is undeniable.

Still I don´t get how you disagree about the few moment that remains. Or is it zero part?

I would disagree, the things, actions you effected remain. The deeds you did will continue to grow or be diffused into and absorbed into the universe. We all have an impact, some are more dramatic and visible than others. 

The music, the designs, the architecture are only a few of what remains after the passing from this life. I still smile when seeing some of the I love Lucy episodes and I find humor in life situations because of those skits.... and I gaze with wonder at some of the works of great artists....

Quoting si++

The life starts with zero,ends in zero, all remains is few moments.
