OK this is a direct quote from ataturk.com, "Ataturk.com is a
non-profit organization, whose primary goals are, educate world about
Ataturk, Turkish culture and heritage"
"The transformation met with unparalleled success: In the 1920s, the
written language consisted of more than 80 percent Arabic, Persian, and
French words; by the early 1980s the ratio had declined to a mere 10
percent."

Oh, I think I understand it perfectly ;-)

As far as the yoghurt sauce goes, I don't doubt it could be Turk in
origins, but the version we both know today is probably a later
modification. At least I've not seen many other places where whey is
strained out of yoghurt..... maybe Bulgaria?

As for Dolmas: It's very possible the traditional version with meat and
cabbage wrapping came from Asia. Various types of dumplings are common
throughout Asia, and so is cabbage. The vegeterian version though
(Yalancee?) had to be developed in the Meditteranean. Grape leaves
simply don't exist in the steppes.

Well, there are many versions of where the Greek tribes descented from
in to the Balkan Peninsula. Are you referring to the Caucasus mountains
theory?
BTW, The Chinese make a distinction beteween the Mongols in the north
and the muslim Chinese in the west which are believed to be Turkic,
closely related to Khazaks. In other words, Turks are a Mongolian type
of people, but not all Mongols are Turks. Hence claiming that both that
Moguls and the Yuan dynasty were Turkic, is an exaggeration at best!

>We are all humans and we are all brothers. If
>you ask me this is a strength rather than a weakness
I guess you can argue that we're all human beings etc, that is the
popular view promoted today, and that ethnic divisions and promotion of
nationalist theories can only lead to conflict and eventually
bloodshed. I would agree to an extend that diversity in rare cases
brings strength, but more often than not it can lead to conflict. It's
happening right now in Europe, and the admission of Turkey in the EU is
right in the middle of the debate....... but this is beyond the scope
of this food thread. ;-)

I'm no friend of coffee, but if you want to offer friendship, I'd

I find the two versions quite a bit different frankly, and I can't say
I like either one. Maybe the one from the island Syros is OK

Don't know what kind of stuff you're into, but stay away from my nuts

barking up the wrong tree!

I have no idea of this site but their claim is a gross over exaggeration.
Personally I think that my personal estimate of 10 percent is much nearer
the mark. Also note that they are talking about the written language (i.e.
the old Ottoman Court language) when it was common for officials to use as
many high-flying and not commonly understood words and phrases borrowed from
Persian or Arabic much as the legalese in English language documents that
only lawyers could understand in English. Luckily that is fast disappearing
from the English language also with government encouragement for the use of
plain English. That does not mean that the English language has changed only
that the legalese small print has changed.

The normal everyday Turkish has not changed all that much apart from words
and terms developed from common Turkish roots as I tried to explain to you
the other day.

But tell me, didn't your teachers ever teach you not to believe everything
you ever see in print? May I suggest that you apply the same logic to web
pages.

And now here is an anecdote. One day a neighbor knocked on Nasreddin
Hodja's door and asked whether he could borrow his donkey for the afternoon.
Hodja said, "Sorry but so-and-so has borrowed my donkey for the day". And
just then Hodja's donkey started braying. The neighbor looked quizzically at
Hodja as if to say, "You are lying to me, aren't you?" whereupon the Hodja
put his hand on his long white beard and said to the neighbor: "But
neighbor, don't you trust the word of a wise old sage and you trust the
braying of a donkey."

OK, so if you saw the claim that 80 percent of Turkish is no more and that
it has been wiped off the Turkish language since 1920, and you believe this,
then who am I to try and convince you that this is a grossly exaggerated
claim?

The earth is flat, after all, isn't it and the sun rotates around the earth?

Yalanci (pronounced Yalandji) Dolma is as you say the vegetarian version of
Dolma. But what makes you think that vineleaves are the only leaves that
can be used to wrap Dolma? The Turkey where Yalanci Dolma is very popular
they use other types of leaves to wrap Dolmas. In fact my favorite wrapped
Dolma are not the ones wrapped in vineleaves though vineleaf wrapped dolmas
have become more or less the only version known in Europe. Incidentally,
Yalan in Turkish means a lie, an untruth. Yalanci means a liar, a cheat.
Hence, Yalanci Dolma where you are cheated of the minced lamb content of the
dish.

OK you say that I rely too much on the origin of words used in naming these
dishes. But of course I am. How else would all these Turkish words come to
be used in naming the variants of these dishes? It would be like arguing
that the English terminology used in computing does not point out to
countries where computing originated. Would you seek any other origin to
such computing terms as e-mail, web pages, copy and paste, URL etc other
than an English speaking country?

True, we are all humans and we are all brothers. Also true that ethnic
divisions can eventually lead to conflicts. That's why we have to
concentrate on what unites us rather than what divides us. It is not only
ethnic divisions that can lead to conflicts. What about religious divisions?
The sectarian wars in Europe come to mind here. What about tribal and racial
divisions? Europe is to this day very much a racist society despite or maybe
because of long, long wars between European antagonists that culminated in
WW1 and WW2 and which didn't really come to an end as WW2 was soon followed
by the Cold War which itself is not quite over yet.

And what about divisions as to which football team we support?

I hope with this last question I'll have given you food for thought!

Yes, but there are two problems with this:
First, Greeks spoke some Turkish during the occupation to get around.
It is entirely possible these "Turkish" names are corrupted Greek
words, like Ismir, Ispanak, Instanbul etc.
If these dishes were Turkish in their present form, you'd find them
everywhere Turanics live, and that's not the case.

That sounds fine in a hippie kinda way until Muslim girls decide they
want to wear a headscarf in a French school..... then you'll have
conflict and it's only the beginning.
Look, the world is full of cultural conflicts. It's fortunate that it's
not always armed conflict, but certain cultures prevail and others
disappear. You can find hardly anything of the Japanese culture
remaining in Japan today. The Chinese are even more ferocious in
adopting western ways. The west is really pushing hard its way of life
to the Middle East today, and the response is mixed.

>What about religious divisions?

Most of the time economics are the root cause. You don't see the US
bombing the Saudis..... do you? Neither do you see documentaries about
how prisoners are mistreated in Saudi Arabia nor there no big outcry
about human rights in that kingdom

>Europe is to this day very much a racist society despite or maybe

Well, the term racist has been thrown around so much, I really don't
even know what it means anymore. Racist this racist that...blah blah
blah. You have many different dynamics in European politics and saying
they are racist would be trivializing it.

Wars in Europe too were primarily caused due to economics. England and
France fought bitterly over and over, but now they don't care for that,
mostly because they have a pretty good living. You're much less likely
to be a militant if you've got a lot to lose. If you got nothing to
lose on the other hand..... you get my gist.
Anyway, it's a complex issue.....but if you and some other Turks here
think Europe is racist, why does your govt try so hard to get admitted
to the EU? It seems masochistic to me

Now that's interesting. The Turkish would-be smartie boy "choro-fag"
runs to the
defense of the biggest idiot existing on usenet.Choro-fag is not so
smart after all?
Or is it your sexual aberration, that you never manage to hide for too
long, that attracts you when shit like marktrivers in involved?
How does it feel, to be stunned and delayed in development, being
emotionally and sexually handicapped, unable to **** a human? That's
what
it's all about with you, you anal, subnormal talking piece of shit!
choro-fag.
You better get a second boy, retard. Obviously Seanie-boy is not enough
for
you to make you feel at ease with yourself and the world.

I don't think their figures really tally with reality. As I said before, do
not take anything either printed or keyed in as gospel truth. Otherwise, we
must believe that the earth is hundreds of million years old while at the
same time it is only 6,000 years old. And we know that both assumptions
cannot be true yet both figures are in print as well as appearing on web
pages.

But while I agree with you re Smyrna/Izmir, Eis-thn-Poli/Istanbul and
possibly re Ispanak, you will find that the dishes we were talking about do
exist in other Turkic regions. But your reasoning that basic Turkish root
words could be corrupted are completely groundless.

Western customs and traditions are certainly becoming the accepted norm all
over the world. I see nothing wrong with that so long as what is best in
Western customs are adopted. What you are forgetting though is that there is
also growing appreciation of far eastern ideologies in the west. What
eventually happens is that you tend to get a fusion of the two traditions. I
am all for this type of give and take. However, I believe you are a bit
mistaken in how "ferociously" the Japs and Chinese are adopting western
cultural traditions. In fact the rate of success of Indian, Chinese,
Japanese, Korean and other far eastern children in the western world is due
solely to their adherence to their own traditional family values and respect
for their elders. The average working class families in the UK could learn
something from some Asian and far eastern immigrants.

Yes, you are perfectly right that most of the time economics are the root
cause of wars. Propaganda is naturally geared to economic interests. The
reasons given for going to war are always excuses rather than true reasons.

Racism is a manifestation of other fears again based mostly on economic
interests.

The reason for the establishment of the common market were again economic in
nature plus the realisation of the sheer folly of going to wars for economic
reasons. The so called idealism of a united Europe is just plain common
sense which comes from the realisation that working together is far more
conducive to rising standards of living for all concerned as opposed to
going to war over markets. Turkey's reasons for accessing the EU are
naturally the same plus the desire to link Turkey's future to the future of
a united Europe. Racism is fundamentally the mind-set of a certain sections
of society fearful of their economic interests plus fear of the unknown,
fear of those seen as not being "one of us."

That markrivers fool cracked yesterday. How long do you give Seanie?

Beanie cracked already some time ago. The amazing thing is he manages to
crack up even more every day. Wouldn't believe it, if I didn't see it here
in these groups with mine own eyes. LOL

You think you sound smart,cultured and educated choro-nik, that's
obvious. But you inveterately
sound disgusting. You can say what you want: you *always* sound
disgusting, regardless of what you talk about. It's the way you *are*.
You
can't hide your barbarian Turkic-mongol-muslim eat with your hands in a
tent heritage!!!
Get lost tent-maker, you bring nothing but filth to SCG, God the whole

LOL You little Nazi Turks always want to be liked. What in the hell makes
you think I like you, you piece of shit? Your wrong self-assessment of
yourself as being some sort of "smarter" Turk?

That filthy trolling Turk got the cheek to tell someone to get lost! LOL
