Turkey is a land locked country |
Edda 24th November 2009 |
Turkey is definitely NOT a Middle Eastern country. Turkey has no ties with that region other than having the same religion. Turks are NOT Arabs, they have no common history with the Middle Easterners, no similar language, etc.. Every other website (including European Union websites) consider Turkey as a European country (and it is). Turkey being in this category shows the lack of required knowledge this website administrators have. |

Second answer for Mithat Yavlum. You say that turks are not european by race, language, origin. Who are ? Are germans european ? or French ? All those people are descendants of nomadic barbaric tribes coming from the steppes to the Roman Territory. Furthermore, any linguistic authority can explain you that Turkish is in the same european language family tree along with Persian (Iranian). |
Tosun 2nd July 2009 |
Mithat Yavlum. You say that Turkey is not a European country claiming that it has only a small region in Europe. Geographically you seem to be right. Turkey really has its 97% of land area in near east. But you know what. That remaining 3% "small" land area is still larger than several other European countries (Belgium, Netherlands,Luxembourg vice versa). These sentences are written by Tosun.... |

Turks are not Mongolians, this is not more than a blame of people who do not like Turks!
Visit the following Wikipedia page about the genetic origins of the Turkish people for more information:

Turkey is not in the Middle East.
Turkey is in the Near East.
Get your facts right!
I will not address the several other minor but common misconceptions and indoctrinations stated in this article because I do not have time to rewrite other's people's work. |

hungarians are not considered to be mongoloid, because they moved from Mongolia in the 9th century so they more than 1100 years to get mixed with other races, mostly because Hungary was always invaded by other nations: turks, tartars, austrians, russians. |

To me you should add more facts about cultures, languages, religions, ethnicities and land forms /bodies of water. I think more kids would come and get help for projects. Thank You. |

Turkey has been part of Europe since the 14th century. Like Hungarians, Turks come from Central Asia. The only difference between them is mainly geography. Hungarians are Turks although w/o the Greek and Armenian mixture; thus, they have lighter skin. However, the region that you refer to as 'Turkey' was also part of the Macedonian, Roman, and Byzantine Empire. |

An error was made. Its Byzantine not Byzantinian. |

You seem to believe that Cyprus belongs to Turkey because it is geographically closer to Cyprus than Greece. But the region you refer to as 'Turkey' was actually part of Greece, Asia Minor, until Mongoloids from Central Asia invaded, occupied and massacred millions of Greeks. Asia Minor was part of Greece in exactly the same Cyprus was. Genocide against Hellenes perpetrated by Mongoloid-Turks in Asia Minor was conducted more efficiently than in Cyprus, this is why Cyprus remains Hellenic today and why unfortunately Asia Minor is not. |

In response to Ali: The land which forms modern day Turkey has a long history of human habitation. Early settlements in the Anatolian Plateau date back to the Bronze and Copper ages. Settlement by the Hittites, Phrygians, Mysians, Persians and others followed until 129BC when Rome established the province of Asia. In 330AD, the emperor Constantine dedicated Constantinople (now Istanbul) to be the "new Rome" and as the Western part of the Roman empire was breaking down, the Eastern Roman (Byzantinian) empire grew in Strength. The Selçuk Turkish empire (based in Persia) took over most of Anatolia in the eleventh century. In 1288, the Ottoman empire began near Bursa and continued until World War I. During the war, the Ottomans fought with Germany and the Central Powers. With their defeat, the Ottoman empire collapsed. Mustafa Kemal began organising resistance to Greek invasion on 19 May 1919. The Turkish war of independence followed from 1920 to 1922. Victory in this war strengthened Mustafa Kemal's command. The sultanate was soon abolished and after it the Ottoman empire. The Turkish Republic was declared on 29 October 1923. |

Cilician: An ancient region of southeast Asia Minor along the Mediterranean Sea south of the Taurus Mountains. The area was conquered by Alexander the Great and later became part of the Roman Empire. It was the site of an independent Armenian state from 1080 to 1375. |
