I personally support this action and understand its aim, since it is related only to English name of the country. I must admit I wouldn´t feel happy if someone called my country "hen" or "donkey", as for example 

Did I say change is not good? No, not at all. I just thought that, as you said, new users would maybe like to see "old stuff" too.

And your posts reminded me to old days and made me a bit nostalgic, that´s all.

Anyway, have fun, I won´t bore you anymore with history...

Quoting miss_ceyda

i love the word YANİ hihi

tristerecuerdos, you should meet miss_ceyda, you both like words "yani" and "ya" 

Funny how things are going with time, different people starting the same topics, I mean, everything is the same as six years ago, just active users are new...

And my favorite Turkish words are still "tamam", "boşver" and "hoşçakal"...

Nazım Hikmet is definitely one of the best, not just Turkish, but world´s poets and he absolutely deserves the place in this project. I´m just not sure about the chosen poem, because it is not quite specific for Nazım Hikmet, not only by style, but also by its topic. It sounds more like Neruda. Anyway, the most important thing is that his poem took part in this significant exhibition.

There are many threads about Nazım Hikmet in this forum, with lots of  information about the poet and our members´ translations of his poetry. I´ll mention just some of them:

Nâzım Hikmet RAN

Ben İçeri Düştüğümden Beri

GÖZLERINE BAKARKEN

Rubais from Nazim Hikmet

Last Will And Testament

SALKIM SÖĞÜT

KARAYILAN (kuvayi milliye destani)

Plus his poems in  Turkish Poetry Section .

Absolutely not a big deal, dear, I agree, I just wanted to say that moderators´ duty is to correct our mistakes 

 Seems there are no moderators around 

Is it less idiotic operating your face in order to look like an American first class actress? Seems there are much more idiots on this world...

I think that spreading influence to other countries through TV series is pretty wise politics.

At least in my country, I am a witness of changing opinions and prejudices and rising interest in Turkish language, culture, lifestyle, after watching "Binbir Gece" and other Turkish series broadcasted and recently broadcasting...
