Its not only this,ottoman sultan suleyman the magnificent and selim 1 made fun of Turkish peasantry.
Hamid celebi, member of the imperial porte sang an anti turk poem which was very famous.
Also,most of Ottoman army,generals, viziers were non Turks.
Janissaries-ottoman infantry, artillery men, gunpowder unit-non turk balkanites
Ottoman elite heavy cavalry and king's guard- kapikulu sipahi-non turk balkanites enrolled through devshirme.
Ottoman regular cavalry- a mix of balkanites and anatolians.
In balkan and european wars, which were main decisive ottoman wars,most of the regular medium cavalry was balkanite again.
Ottoman auxillaries-again balkanite,Russian, egyptian mercenaries .
Only unit of ottoman force which was truly turkic were the akincis,and akincis were only good for raiding against civilians because rheir arrows were ineffective against heavy Armor of European Christian forces.
The main winning component of ottoman army were the janissaries, kapikulu elite heavy cavalry (which won the battle of Varna).
Ottoman regular sipahi cavalry played a role but it wasn't decisive and even Majority of regular sipahis were enrolled from Balkan provinces.
Ottoman Empire was an Empire built on the religion of islam,wirh Persian culture,With Balkan troops and generals.
How do kemalist turkic Nationalists and turanists take pride in such an Empire that called Turks "esek turk" and etral-i-bi-idrak?
Hamid celebi,the supreme ottoman officer man fun of turkic peasantry And lifestyle as being uncivilized.
