COMMENTARY

Vivian 11th November 2005	I think your website is good. You have all the info needed for my project! I come here and I can find all the stuff I need. I do think your website needs a little more spark. Here is an example more color so when people come here they would like the color you put on your website! And they would love to come back. Every thing else is perfect!
Oscar 15th July 2005	Just because Turkish borrows a couple of words from Persian and some of their culture, it does not mean they have deep ties to the Middle East. Like Hungarians, Turks come from Central Asia and so their languages have common roots. Greeks have a longer history with the Persians which goes back to around Alexander the Great's time. Like Greek, Persian is a Indo-European language and in addition, Greek contains plenty of Persian vocab. Greece above all has a deeper ties to the Middle East. The Kalash people are Greeks, as they say they are, and have lived around Northern Pakistan long before Jesus and the Turkish invasions into Europe and the Middle East.

Astrid 3rd January 2005	This website is great for school projects but would you please include Afghanistan in this section. I couldn't find info about this country at all in any website
