I only saw your comment 9 years later, but better late than never!kallisuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09268212018228542448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4578950957986346975.post-33915257285611750732011-04-26T16:50:17.811-07:002011-04-26T16:50:17.811-07:00I'm kurdish my self so it was quite interestin...I'm kurdish my self so it was quite interesting to read your blog. But only 20% of the people in turkey are actual turks. So the white "turks" that u meet were from balkan (bosnian, albanian ect). Turks are originally from mongolia, ironically they where a minority over there, but were thrown out of mongolia and ended up in the middle-east. Ata-turk was a half turk half balkan in origin. He was brought by the french to act as a puppet for the french and english goverment. Turkey and iraq was created by the french and english goverment. All kurds are not descended from the sumerians, kurds are actually aryans (iranian), our language is an iranian language, but we have been exposed to semitic people like arabs, egyptians and also mongol turks. Anyway the best way to understand people/cultures is to know the history and politics who took them to where they are today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4578950957986346975.post-87559562223938895832009-04-18T19:23:00.000-07:002009-04-18T19:23:00.000-07:00It sounds like you guys are continuing to have a g...It sounds like you guys are continuing to have a great time traveling!

I cannot believe how nice the people are to you wherever you go. I guess that as foreigners, you are a little like movie stars; but still--they are so very nice!ohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638748077991732530noreply@blogger.com
