Ask anything Turkish related

[Sora]

Though I elaborated on this, I wanted to start a thread like this. You can ask anything you want about Turkey and Turkish culture, people, cuisine, genetics, history etc. And Turkish members are free to answer those questions.

Troll questions will be reported!

It depends on which type of Kurd. If a Kurd betrays the Turkey and Turkish people, then he will be on fire. But if s/he loves and is loyal to Turkey, then there's no problem with him/her.

No, none of us agree with independent Kurdish state

There are between 4-5 million Turk-Kurd couples and their offspring. Kurds are part of Turkey, no one can deny that. Though not a fan of their culture I don't hate them or anything.

Kurdish independent state in Turkey? never ever
