One day I met a 14 year old Turkish kid with his aunt and they showed me and my mom around Istanbul. I promised him he could be in the Turkey episode when it came up. 5 years later I kept that promise. Say "hi" to our youngest guest host, Ege, who became a part-time metalcore emo musician and international relations major. Proud of you man! You've grown up! And HUGE thanks to the ~60 Turkish Subscribers that met up with us in Izmir and Istanbul and helped with information for this episode! ALSO yes I am aware the UN recognizes this country as "Türkiye" however we follow the English names (English hs no "ü") and also... I'm not the UN Enjoy!
I was lucky enough to meet you in Kadıköy-- thank you so so much for being so kind! This is awkward to say but I was in a car accident a couple hours ago. Thankfully everyone is fine but I'm still really shocked. I was looking for a distraction and man, this is absolutely perfect! I've been waiting for this episode for years and it's helping me so much right now. Teşekkürler for everything ☀️💛
I waited long for this very good episode. Thank you! Another history fun fact: In around 1890 an Ottoman ship named Ertuğrul shipwrecked off the coast of Japan as it came back from a diplomatic mission. The local population helped rescue the surviving crew and since then the Ottomans(and later Turkey) had a warm relationship with Japan. They even made a movie about it called „Ertuğrul 1890” or „125 years memory“.
The Turks also did something back: During the iran iraq war a plane full of japanese families was stuck in iran since irak declared it a no fly zone. The turkish ambassador had a plan though. Get turkish airlines to fly them out. But if they wanted all the japanese people to fit in the plane the crew had to be left behind. They did not want to stay in a war zone that was until the turkish ambassador told the crew the story of the ottoman ship that crashed in japan and that the crew was saved by an japanese village. Only then they agreed.
I spent a couple weeks in Turkey earlier this year as part of a nine-week Eastern European road trip. I have NEVER been someplace where grown men were more delighted to see a baby! My wife and daughter loved the attention, and I must admit that I was quite touched by how sweet they all were.
It's funny you should say that. I have a Turkish friend here in Switzerland and I sometimes have to remind him not to stare at babies too much because it might come across as creepy - but he just genuinely thinks they're so cute!
There was a video of a young turkish dude playing music in the street and this turkish baby girl was dancing/clapping along. The dude just grabbed the baby, raised her in the air and started kissing her after finishing the song. I was simply in shock to see people calling him a creep in the comments. I understand that there are creepy people in the world and the culture around safety in western countries(I guess med not included), but finding a baby cute should be universal and above genders.
As a Turk, I've been waiting for this episode for a long time. I felt that some parts of the video were a bit rushed. There was also a lot of information that was not mentioned. However, if someone asks me what it feels like to be Turkish, I'm full of pride and anger but somehow I can't find the words to describe it. For this reason, I can understand some of the misses in the video. So thank you very much to you and Ege for introducing us with a beautiful "35 minutes" episode.
Well dude, I waited too, I wasnt disappointed, learned lot of cool things, but here is the thing- you had to wait, but I think it payed off. If you look for example on my country, Czech Republic, we were maybe early on, which is good, but if you feel like your country was rushed, we had just 8 minutes 🙂🥲. And not just Czechia, but almost all countries until like Nauru, where there is 14 minutes, and no its 30... :/. I know, its too much stuff, but still, after Barb is done with this series, he can at least finish all countries to be 30 minutes at least? Or at least those who have ton of stuff with them? You get my point no? ;) . Greetings to Turkeiy btw :)
@@kexcz8276 One of the points where this channel unites us all is our desire to learn about countries. When you look at it from this perspective, the situation you said about the videos three or four years ago is very true. In this respect, we are lucky as a country. I am also very happy the new infos about my country you have learned. Greetings to the Czech Republic. P.s: Plzen beers are the best, Also the most famous beer brand in Turkey (Efes Pilsen), Turkish version of Plzen beers.
@@kexcz8276 Prague, definitely in top 3 for me. I saw that many people are protesting there now, I wish you all the best. The situation is of course bad for all of us, but stay cool. We have about 150% inflation here in Turkey, you are still very very far away from that and you have a great country.
Before my great grandmother died she started learning turkish because her husband (My great grandfather who died a month before she died) was in the air force and turkey had been her favorite country she ever lived in when her husband was in the millitary. So when I think of the country Turkiye I think of my great grandmother (R.I.P)
@@cekic9098 that's because I'm extremely active online on quora, Facebook, formerly Twitter and TH-cam. In the most diverse unrelated topics ever. I like to be inserted in. :) You'll get used to it cutie.
As a Greek, I have never met a Turkish person I did not like. Lovely, warm and kind people that we have so much in common with (and that is how all the Turkish people in the video seemed to be as well) It feels a bit like we are siblings that grew up with different parents - love from your neighbours to the West ❤
In Bulgaria we learned that almost everyone loves Turkish Delight, along with the coffee or tea. And yes they had “Doner Kebab” too. My wife’s family took us to a Turkish restaurant in Westchester run by a Ukrainian, he explained to us that he was a smuggler during the USSR days, he would sneak across the Black Sea at night, stay in Turkey all day, and then sneak back in the next night, and he grew to love the food so much he wanted to open a Turkish restaurant!
@@denizbeytekin9853 Where is Azerbaijan lol Turks dont even care about Azerbaijan meanwhile in Azerbaijan every 5 meters there is Turkish flag, brothers my ass XD
Turkey is awesome and Turkish people are awesome too!! There are soooo many Ottoman monuments in my town Thessaloniki that are sadly left to rot... I hope our countries will eventually get along peacefully.
Knowingly left to rot..but it happens on our side too! Its up to us people of both nation to remember. I always prefered the greek version of kadayif. :)
I was waiting for this episode for years , and wasn’t disappointed. This country is batshit crazy in my opinion and just mentioning the name is a call for discussions/fights. I really think both of you guys handled the topics discussed very professionally. And I want to shout out to Ege, who did a very good job. As an almost 30 years old Turkish woman I was so proud of him on how he presented himself and explained the country. One of my favorite episodes for sure.
Alhamdulillah I coming to Anatolia, Turkey from Abbotabad, Pakistan soon inshallah along with many brothers from my village subhanallah. Pak Turk Sultanat e Osmaniya 2023 under Sultan Erdogan Ghazi🇵🇰🇹🇷☪️☝️Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim all non believers will accept Islam and degrading morality of humans will be saved inshallah.
@@Nadeem87Qureshi fuck off man. Don’t bring yourself and your islamic extrimist ideas. Your islamist extremist ideas are never going to be valid in our country. Turkey is secular, and forever will be.
Major props to Ege! Easily one of your best guest co-hosts in long time! Really engaging and best of all, really fluid in his delivery of the material.
1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 2. God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5. Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 58. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63. But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66. Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it. 70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness? 71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth? 72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.” 73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing. 74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace. 75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it. 76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious. 77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment. 78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly. 79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.” 80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted? 81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.” 82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful. 83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned? 84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.” 85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people. 87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful. 90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. 111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.” Read The Quran.
I've been waiting for this episode! There's some few important things about sports part: - Turkish Basketball League one of the best in Europe, we even won the biggest cup in a row 2021/2022 (and more in back the past) - Turkish National Basketball team have done a lot. We were finalists in 2010 World Cup Basketball, we were finalist in 2001 Europe etc. - We even hosted olympics! We hosted deaf and winter universities olympics in Turkey
Approximately 4 years ago, when you started this series, I watched all of your videos with joy as a 'geography nerd' kid. I waited with excitement for your Turkey video. It seemed to me like you were gonna post it 1 or 2 months later but yeeah, I guess I had to be less optimistic :D My highschool started then and my interests kind of changed so I of course couldn't watch all of your videos but I checked you like once in a 5 months and say meeh there is still time for Turkey. Now I'm checking it again and I finally see the 'Geography Now! TURKEY' title and yeah, nobody would understand my feelings, my excitement right now. Feeling like this waiting is part of my adolecence. Thank you for FINALLY posting it :D Cheers.
About Hungary: the Ottoman Empire ruled a large part of Hungary for 150 years. It's complicated (imagine a little bell ringing here) but sometimes the Hungarian people had better relations with the Turks then the Habsburgs (who ruled another big chunk of Humgary at that time). Also back in ancient and early medieval times the Hungarians were Central Asian nomadic people - just like many Turkic groups. We have many Turkish loanwords, Turkic historic sites and of course during 150 years of Ottoman rule many people intermarried. There are many Hungarians with Turkish last names. The influence of the Ottomans might not be as strong or easily spotted as German or Slavic ones, but it's clearly visible.
@@papazataklaattiranimam There are several theories about the Ugric and Turkic roots of the Hungarians. I didn't heard that one, but that doesn't mean, that it's false. I heard, that some of the Hungarian tribes were Turkic, while the majority was Ugric. The fact is, that we don't have any contemporary written sources or only vague ones, that get many other things wrong.
@@franciskafayeszter4138 Good approach! Tribes were only tribes and they interacted and mixed constantly for business and survival reasons. Nationalism is a far more recent thing. Attila might be not the greatest factor for the very old relationship between Magyars and Huns and other Turkic tribes. There is an interesting fact about the Magyars not many talk about. According to scholars, the Summerian language is still a mistery but closely related to old Hungarian. If that is true, the migration of the Magyars to todays Hungary or generally Europe is not correct and needs revision. This would show how the Caspian region played a huge role for the interaction.
Ten thousands of people in Törökország have the name "Attila, Bleda, Imre, Arpad " Also we are the rare people that pronounce the name Hungarian as Macar(means Magyar) and Hungary as Macaristan(means Magyarország)
I have spent the past 5 weeks driving all around Turkey and am literally driving back as we speak, you don’t know how excited I have been for this episode to come out, I’m expecting it to be filled with places I’ve visited over the last month!!! :)
@@roatskm2337 Hardly anyone spoke English, especially the older generations! We couch surfed all over too so where staying with families we couldn’t even communicate with…but everyone was so so lovely :)
I would really like to visit different parts of Turkey. I’ve only ever been to Kayseri and its surrounding area, İstanbul and its surrounding area (mostly the European side), and Bodrum.
@@1gamz I remember seeing some places from the street with signs that imply that you go there to learn English. I’ve never tried to speak English to a random person in İstanbul, though, so I don’t know what proportion of the city speaks some level of English.
As a 2nd generation Hungarian, I met and made a lot of Turkish friends in college. We had a lot in common and have fun exchanging aspects of our culture. We also have a very similar alphabet so I can pronounce a lot of Turkish, even though I can’t understand it, which made for many amusing moments. Special mention to Altin Gün, who I believe single handedly re-introduced Anatolian Rock to the international community! They’re by far my favourite Turkish band!

He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5. Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 58. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63. But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66. Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it. 70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness? 71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth? 72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.” 73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing. 74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace. 75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it. 76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious. 77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment. 78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly. 79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.” 80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted? 81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.” 82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful. 83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned? 84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.” 85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people. 87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful. 90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. 111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.” Read The Quran. “I am to you a clear warner.” “That you shall worship none but God. I fear for you the agony of a painful Day.”
1. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 1. Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2. Allah, the Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4. And there is none comparable to Him.” 87. Allah-there is no god except He. He will gather you to the Day of Resurrection, in which there is no doubt. And who speaks more truly than Allah? 115. Whoever makes a breach with the Messenger, after the guidance has become clear to him, and follows other than the path of the believers, We will direct him in the direction he has chosen, and commit him to Hell-what a terrible destination! 116. Allah will not forgive that partners be associated with Him; but will forgive anything less than that, to whomever He wills. Anyone who ascribes partners to Allah has strayed into far error. 117. They invoke in His stead only females. In fact, they invoke none but a rebellious devil. 118. Allah has cursed him. And he said, “I will take to myself my due share of Your servants.” 119. “And I will mislead them, and I will entice them, and I will prompt them to slit the ears of cattle, and I will prompt them to alter the creation of Allah.” Whoever takes Satan as a lord, instead of Allah, has surely suffered a profound loss. 120. He promises them, and he raises their expectations, but Satan promises them nothing but delusions. 121. These-their place is Hell, and they will find no escape from it. 122. But as for those who believe and do righteous deeds, We will admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. The promise of Allah is true-and who is more truthful in speech than Allah? 156. And for their faithlessness, and their saying against Mary a monstrous slander. 157. And for their saying, “We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.” In fact, they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they did. Indeed, those who differ about him are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, except the following of assumptions. Certainly, they did not kill him. 158. Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself. Allah is Mighty and Wise. 159. There is none from the People of the Scripture but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them. 160. Due to wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We forbade them good things that used to be lawful for them; and for deterring many from Allah’s path. 161. And for their taking usury, although they were forbidden it; and for their consuming people's wealth dishonestly. We have prepared for the faithless among them a painful torment. 162. But those among them firmly rooted in knowledge, and the believers, believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you; and the observers of prayers, and the givers of charity, and the believers in Allah and the Last Day-upon these We will bestow an immense reward. 163. We have inspired you, as We had inspired Noah and the prophets after him. And We inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and Jesus, and Job, and Jonah, and Aaron, and Solomon. And We gave David the Psalms. 164. Some messengers We have already told you about, while some messengers We have not told you about. And Allah spoke to Moses directly. 165. Messengers delivering good news, and bringing warnings; so that people may have no excuse before Allah after the coming of the messengers. Allah is Powerful and Wise. 166. But Allah bears witness to what He revealed to you. He revealed it with His knowledge. And the angels bear witness. Though Allah is a sufficient witness. 167. Those who disbelieve and repel from Allah’s path have gone far astray. 168. Those who disbelieve and transgress; Allah is not about to forgive them, nor will He guide them to any path. 169. Except to the path of Hell, where they will dwell forever. And that is easy for Allah. 170. O people! The Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe-that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to Allah belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. Allah is Omniscient and Wise. 171. O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of Allah, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” Refrain-it is better for you. Allah is only one God. Glory be to Him-that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and Allah is a sufficient Protector. 172. The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of Allah, nor do the favored angels. Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant-He will round them up to Himself altogether. 173. But as for those who believe and do good works, He will pay them their wages in full, and will increase His grace for them. But as for those who disdain and are too proud, He will punish them with an agonizing punishment. And they will find for themselves, apart from Allah, no lord and no savior. 174. O people! A proof has come to you from your Lord, and We sent down to you a clear light. 175. As for those who believe in Allah, and hold fast to Him, He will admit them into mercy and grace from Him, and will guide them to Himself in a straight path. 72. They disbelieve those who say, “Allah is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself said, “O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates others with Allah, Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire. The wrongdoers have no saviors.” 73. They disbelieve those who say, “Allah is the third of three.” But there is no deity except the One God. If they do not refrain from what they say, a painful torment will befall those among them who disbelieve. 74. Will they not repent to Allah and ask His forgiveness? Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 75. The Messiah son of Mary was only a messenger, before whom other Messengers had passed away, and his mother was a woman of truth. They both used to eat food. Note how We make clear the revelations to them; then note how deluded they are. 76. Say, “Do you worship, besides Allah, what has no power to harm or benefit you?” But Allah: He is the Hearer, the Knower. 77. Say, “O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion beyond the truth; and do not follow the opinions of people who went astray before, and misled many, and themselves strayed off the balanced way.” 78. Cursed were those who disbelieved from among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and Jesus son of Mary. That is because they rebelled and used to transgress. 79. They used not to prevent one another from the wrongs they used to commit. Evil is what they used to do. 80. You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve. Terrible is what their souls prompts them to do. The wrath of Allah fell upon them, and in the torment they will remain. 81. Had they believed in Allah and the Prophet, and in what was revealed to him, they would not have befriended them. But many of them are immoral. Read The Quran
I visited Istanbul in 2014 and it was one of the most amazing places I've ever been. Turkiye's always been high on my list of countries to return to; there's so much still there in the rest of the country that I want to see.
im greek, and the amount of foods and ideas our cultures share is astonishing. we, too, have the nazar, the itching of the right hand, that little ritual of fortune telling by using the cup of coffee, entering a house with the right foot, pouring water on people before long trips, stepping on new shoes, the bread dropping thing! i knew about the foods, but not about these! i rly wish we could put our differences in the past, resolve our remaining issues in a civil way and FINALLY have some peace. we dont need to lose people to war because our leaders want profit.
why cant we just both come to terms and sacrifice some of our claims for peace? its a win win situation, but then major world powers get involved.. i fear conflict is unavoidable
I read "civil way" as "civil war" for a second and was like :O for a second lol. Jokes aside all the greek people I have met so far were so easy to get along. The way our governments try to villainize each other is just retarded.
As a Spaniard, I think Turkey is an incredible country, not only their food is amazing but also their culture seems really interesting. I hope to visit Turkey one day and omg they should return to the ESC asap, they were really good at it. 🇪🇸♥️🇹🇷
At one point in my studies I did a group project with this Turkish guy. We hit it off really well and went for a beer often after we had worked on our project. We started talking about our respective languages and he told me this story. He was a major fan of the Chronicles of Narnia as a child and read all of the books (in Turkish). One thing that had always annoyed him was the name Aslan. The name of the lion as we all know is Aslan. Aslan in Turkish, however, literally means lion. He had always thought the author of the books was too lazy to give the lion a name and had just named him lion. He only found out that the name of the lion was Aslan when he moved away from Turkey and saw the movies in English for the first time.
Actually Narnia's author was very interested in Turkish culture, so he used many Turkish culture references in the book. Janis-Cadi (witch in Turkish) Tash-Tas (rock in Turkish) The Ilgamuth Tarkaan name is inspired by ancient Turkic names Turkish delight obliviously, and so on
As an American of Eastern European descent, Turkey was one of the episodes I was looking forward to the most. I remember there was a major earthquake in Turkey in the summer of 1999 around the same time there was an eclipse over Europe. As an Orthodox Christian, I like how they mentioned the leader of the Orthodox Church is based in Turkey. I would like to visit Turkey one day.
Yes, 17 August 1999 İzmit earthquake. The earthquake in which we lost thousands of people who will always be mourned in the history of Turkey. There was a big earthquake in Greece triggered by this earthquake.
I laughed a lot with the superstitions segment. We do most of these things in Greece too, like entering a house with your right leg, the ubiquitous Evil Eye, telling your fortune with coffee remains, wood knocking, right hand itching=money (but left hand itching=you're gonna get beaten up), stepping on new shoes (but not just the first one, everyone who sees it will do it until your shoes are not new and nice anymore). I also had an ex-girlfriend who believed that exchanging sharp objects meant that we would fight, although we didn't need the sharp objects for that...
1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 2. God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth.

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 55. Allah said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56. As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57. Those who insult Allah and His Messenger, Allah has cursed them in this life and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a demeaning punishment.
Geography Now has been, and always will be one of the most interesting and amazing shows I’ve ever watched. Ever since the journey started 8 years ago in Afghanistan, there are only 15 more episodes left. The first thing I would do after school on Wednesday and Friday was to watch these videos. A show that’s goal is to explore every sovereign independent country and shorten it down to 30 minutes or less is almost unheard of. So as this journey is coming to a close, I’d like to say thank you, Paul, for 8 years of amazing content.
It's estimated that there are close to 30.000 descendants of the Celtic Galatians, there's a good chance of the uncommon red haired Turks being one of those
The land where Asia and Europe fuse together and home to the Ottomans, kebabs, beautiful music and with people as fiery and passionate as their flag. While Japan is land of the rising sun, Turkey is the land of the bright moon. 🇹🇷🇯🇵
Türkiye was the only country which did not accept and never recognized partitions of Poland. I ve been in Türkiye 3 times in a few cities and places. Great country, nice people, delicious food!! Cheers from 🇵🇱
Part of why the partitions of Poland were never recognized is because the Crimean Khanate's position in what's now the southern half of Ukraine, as well as Ottoman relations to the PLC which had a lot to do with each other's imperial conquest goals.
there's also a polish village in istanbul called polinezköy. they came to turkey as refugees during the ww2 and became a valuable community for turkey. awesome people,best slavs.
Thank you for your kind words. We Turks will never forget the services and in some cases, martyrdoms, of Adam Mickiewicz, Stanisław Julian Ostroróg, Ahmet Rüstem Bey, Leon Walerian Ostroróg, Władysław Czajkowski, Antoni Aleksander Iliński, Józef Bem, Józef Jagmin, Michał Czajkowski, Władysław Stanisław Zamoyski, and many other Poles who fought for and alongside us 🇹🇷♥️🇵🇱 And I'm sure you as a Pole know the Ottoman Sultans' famous and renowned saying until Poland was an independent country; "Where is the deputy from Lehistan [Poland in Turkish]?" for nearly 150 years, in every meeting with European powers in the Ottoman Empire.
As a Turkish TH-camr, I was waiting for this episode since the letter C and cannot believe that this day finally arrived! This is one heck of a country without trying to be biased lol. Its so diverse, modern and traditional, and hosts people that are as western as us or far more so even, and some that believe in the roots of their middle eastern heritage. And everytime someone visits there will always be a new story from that country. Whether its going on beach clubs and pop festivals, or exploring the local routines and traditions of more ancient and traditional areas. Honestly my favorite country of all time!
@@geofax8294 Cared to respond + i missed the part where that's my problem + counter + you're* + worse* minor spelling mistake + don't describe yourself
Love to Ethiopia from Turkey. Even though it may not be known I believe Ethiopian people from Habeshistan province in Ottoman era took on roles in our state many centuries ago and like the video says there are small local groups who have been in living in Turkey for a long time and they originally migrated mostly from Ethiopia (as far as I know). 🇪🇹🇹🇷
@Star Collider I am not tigrayan but please don't think I hate Tigray. It's cool Turkey supports us but that's not why I support Turkey, Turkey has a fascinating history and I love the culture. Also Egypt is our brothers 🇪🇹❤🇪🇬❤🇹🇷
1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 2. God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5. Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 58. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63. But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66. Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it. 70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness? 71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth? 72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.” 73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing. 74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace. 75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it. 76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious. 77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment. 78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly. 79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.” 80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted? 81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.” 82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful. 83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned? 84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.” 85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people. 87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful. 90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. 111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.” Read The Quran.
in hindi it is turk but not pronounced the way he did in english it is तुर्क, but i think this word is used for any turkic people especially from central asia, i dont think most people know about ur country unfortunately because indian dont know many middle and small size country, but some who do will probably call u guys people from turkey
Ahhhh Turkey... have wanted to visit for a long long time. I'm Australian and have an online Turkish friend who lives in Samsun on the Black Sea coast who has introduced me to a LOT of Turkish things including music, language, food, politics etc. I have learnt a bit of the language, not much. It's beautiful. I listen to Turkish music a lot, including bands like maNga, Model, and lots of random pop stuff :P Overall this was a pretty good episode, so much more that could be said!
Letter from Atatürk to Anzacs: “Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives …You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.” Respect from turkey to Australia 🇦🇺🇹🇷
I've been waiting for this episode forever and finally here it is. I got so emotional while watching it. I'm sick of this place's problems but I know I'd die for it as well. Turkey has so much to talk about and I think you made nice summary for people who don't know. I just wanna add something to the food section. Everyone thinks of us as meat lover country and that's true but we also have sooo many delicious vegetable dishes cooked with olive oil. And if you go to Black Sea region you'll find sarma and soup made from black cabbage. Anyways thanks for making this episode this well.
@@ilhanaydn3522 bilirsiz bizim ferqimiz nedir?

Siz cızıqdan çixmisiz ya "bakiremisin?" deyirsiz ya da bilip bilmeden "exlaqsiz" damgasi vurursuz. Qadin evlimi deyilmi size ne!
Yay!!! I’m so glad the Turkey episode is finally here!!! I find the country to be very interesting in a good way all-around. Also, their national anthem… good god it’s great.
heeeey! :DDD it's so interesting to me that despite living half of Asia away from Turkey, we, Tuvans (a turkic ethnicity in Siberia), have plenty of superstitions in common. our culture have roots in nomadic lifestyle and is deeply influenced by buddhism, being part of russia having its touch, so i never really understood where these superstitions come from. like it's obvious that our languages are related, but I haven't thought about these little cultural gestusres and habits. for example: when we have "too much" fun, adults will say 'don't laugh too much or else you'll be crying later' ; cutting nails and getting your hair cut late at evening is a no-no. apparently it has something to do with dark, evil spirits living in them ; not lending sharp objects to people ; or don't keep your scissors unlocked? or you'll be in a fight ; and so on. some of superstitions I recognize as well-known overall in russia, cuz russians are super supersticious too. itching of hands, ears, nose, cheeks, etc. leading to smthn is quite a popular belief in russia as far as i know.
I think its related to our shaman religion and rituals. Our ancestors were very spiritual and believed in those things and we still carry those values and beliefs untill now.
Great episode filled with lots of information! When you mentioned Mount Ararat, I was surprised that you didn't mention that Ararat was traditionally considered to be the resting place of Noah's Ark after the 40 days and 40 nights flooding mentioned in the Bible.
Its not really a "traditional" story. The idea only came about in the 20th century when a natural rock formation shaped in a loose fashion to that of a boat was found on Mt. Ararat/Ağrı Dağı, and was deemed to be the landing place of the ark. No-one can possibly explain with any reason or logic how the wood of a mythical boat turned to stone (!!!) but that's irrelevant to the creationists out there. Türkiye plays it up for all its worth because, you know, tourism.
I've been waiting for this episode for literal years. I'm a huge fan from Turkey, been a fan for around 7 years now. 5 years ago or so, when I was around 13, I sent you fanmail and you opened it on fan friday (you misread my name as deriz instead of deniz lmao). I remember sending you a flag and some other stuff that I could find, and daring you to pronounce some long turkish words lol. I believe I was the first Turkish person on fan friday. The meetup was very close to my place, only around a 10 minute ride, but unfortunately, I couldn't go as I was rather sick, had a bad case of food poisoning. I hope you enjoyed your visit man. If you ever go to Turkey again and do a fan meetup, i'll definitely be there.
Quick correction: Turks are not heavy meat eaters, Turkey actually has the lowest meat consumption rate in Europe. Our internationally known dishes like kebab and doner are all meat based but they have historically been festive meals, not casual meals. Pre-agricultural modernization, most Anatolians only ate meat during weddings, funerals or Eid. Even after the modernization, due ti Turkey's terrain that doesn't support high meat return animal husbandry, meat has remained to be less accessible and expensive product.
Well... really depends on where you live. I have friends from Şanlıurfa and them mfs eat liver for breakfast. I also love having a late-night beyran if it's past 1 AM.
Been to Turkey this July of 2022 in a resort near Manavgat, located within the province of Antalya. Stayed there for 7 days, briefly visited Manavgat and it was quite an authentic journey must I say. Might go to other places in Turkey sometime. I also love how you mentioned Istanbul having a lot of stray cats, it's one of those little facts that just make me smile knowing how well Turks are when it comes to treating stray animals they find on the street. Now this video is 35 minutes but that extra bit of time doesn't matter because it still has that consistent Geography Now feel with it's straight-forward information, interesting obscure facts and gags. This episode especially feels pretty interesting with Barbs allowing Ege to make the spotlight, being the most youngest guest host and it was quite heartwarming to see Barbs find a random Turkish fan who was 14 when he met him in Istanbul and then 5 years later inviting him as a guest star.

As a Turk who discovered your channel five years ago, I've been waiting for this episode for years. I used to be a student back then, now I've been working for five years. My life changed a lot and this video brought back memories. Thanks for all that nostalgia Barbs. Keep it up!
Προδότη, ξεχνάς τι μας κάνουν εμάς τους Κύπριους εδώ και τόσα χρόνια και τι έκαναν στους Πόντιους, Μικρασιάτες, Χιώτες, Ψαριανούς και σε τόσους άλλους Έλληνες και Αρμένιους στην διάρκεια 1071-2022? Μέχρι σήμερα γεύονται την Κύπρο,την Θράκη και τα νησιά του Αιγαίου συμπεριλαμβανομένου την Κρήτη. Τρείς γενοκτονίες, χιλιάδες σφαγές, υποχρεωτική εργασία και εκτουρκισμός-εξισλαμισμός. Μας συμπεριφέρονταν ως δεύτερης τάξης ανθρώπους. Σε προκαλώ να πας με σημαία της Ελλάδας και Σταυρό στο χέρι στην Αγία Σοφία την μεγαλύτερη Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία που έκαναν τζαμί να δείς τι θα σε κάνουν. Θα σε σκοτώσουν και κανένας δεν θα πάει φυλακή. Πρέπει να είσαι αριστερός για να είσαι τόσο μεγάλος προδότης. Δώσε μια ματιά στον χάρτη της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας σήμερα. Χάσαμε την μισή μας πατρίδα για προδότες σαν εσένα, οι μεγάλοι προδότες Μακάριος, Ιωαννίδης και κυρίως ο Καραμανλής που εκλέξατε τέσσερις φορές. Δεν είναι "ηλίθια διαμάχη μεταξύ των κυβερνήσεων" τις κυβερνήσεις ποιος τις ψηφίζει? Ο πρωθυπουργός αν και υποστηρίζει την χώρα μας έκανε αρκετά λάθη στην διακυβέρνηση, όπως το να κρατά τα αναρχικά απόβλητα έξω από τις φυλακές. Η πλειοψηφία των Τούρκων μισά τους Έλληνες(65%) αυτό τι δείχνει?
I've never seen, in my 25 years living in Turkey, a driver civilised enough to use advenced weaponry like a crowbar. We usually use wooden botons. Jokes aside great episode Geography now!
Remember Opet advertisements with Cem yilmaz, even there, the car AI offered the protagonist a crowbar for an obnoxious driver. Also, I have a ratcheting wrench, because where I live, batons or crowbars are illegal, so I use the excuse as "it's just a tool" :D
Barbs this is amazing!!! I have been following you for over 6 years now and i would’ve never thought that i would finally see the day that we reach the turkey episode! Thank you so much for your amazing work and making my world a little smarter every month ❤️
Turkiye is a beautiful country with delicious food, great culture, lots of places, great history and nice people. respect Turkiye from neighbor country Georgia, I think we used to fight against each other in the past but now we have nice relations 🇬🇪💖🇹🇷😊
After the Azerbaijan, Georgia is the closest neigbour country for us. Since Georgia gain to their indepedence from USSR anyting happened like bad crisis between two countries.

He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5. Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 58. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63. But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66. Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it. 70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness? 71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth? 72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.” 73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing. 74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace. 75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it. 76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious. 77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment. 78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly. 79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.” 80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted? 81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.” 82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful. 83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned? 84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.” 85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people. 87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful. 90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. 111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.” Read The Quran. “I am to you a clear warner.” “That you shall worship none but God. I fear for you the agony of a painful Day.”
A really nice country , kind people , spectacular landscapes! I am greek and i knew we had a lot in common culturally, but actually i learned a bunch more in this video. Especially in food and in superstitions. Our governments may not get along pretty well ,but there is so much more we have in common that unite us. I have only visited the west part of the country due to its proximity to us , but i would like to explore more in the eastern part. Love from Greece!
Κάνενα κοινό δεν εχουμε! Αν εννοεις κοινο τον καφε και το μπακλαβα, σιγά τα ωα! Αξιοθρηνητες πεσιμιστικες αποψεις. Αλιμονο να ειχαμε κοινα μ’ αυτούς. Ουτε τρομοκράτες ειμαστε ουτε φανατισμένοι κατα του μοντερνου πολιτισμού και στα σημεία ΜΟΝΟ ΥΠΕΡΕΧΟΥΜΕ! Κοινά εχουμε με τους ιταλους με τους ισπανους δεν θα ανφερω τους Κυπριους και ακομα ακομα με τους Ισραηλίτες! Πιστευα και εγω παλια αυτη την ίδια, σχωρα με, ΜΛΚΙΑ αλλά επειδή προέρχομαι απο ακριτικό μερος και εχω ταξιδεψει αρκετες φορες στην Τουρκία καθως απεχει 40 λεπτα (στη δικη τους ας πουμε Μυκονο, ο θεος να τη κανει) ακόμη και εκεί που υποτιθεται οτι ειναι πιο δυτικοί τα ιδια σσκκατα βλεπεις… αν εχεις παει στην Κωνσταντινουπολη εκεί είναι αλλο θέμα. Αυτοί εχουν καλλιεργημένο μισος μεσα τους.. τους το ΕΧΟΥΝ ΟΝΤΩΣ καλλιεργήσει… η μόνη μας στάση αν θελουμε να κανουμε μια αλλαγή στο μελλον μεταξύ μας, ειναι να αναφερουμε τον ελαφαντα στο δωματιο! Αρκετα με την υποκρισία των Τούρκων … Μη κρινεις υποκειμενική την αποψη μου ειμαι ακριτας και ξερω τι κανουν στους ψαράδες συμπατριώτες μου (συν εχω παει και εγω απεναντι και εχω προσωπικη αποψη)
Agreed, it's a shame that our governments and extremists make us look like we all hate each other, but I feel the majority of Greeks and Turks can get along very well. Selanik'ten merhaba! 🇬🇷❤️🇹🇷
Excelente timing Barbs, I'm going to Istanbul this Wednesday and I was looking forward to this episode! Really excited to visit this amazing place. Lots of greetings from Brazil!
Never been to Turkey, don't have Turkish ancestry or Turkish friends, however Turkey is my favorite country in the world. I wish I could visit it some day.
I love Turkiye and Oghuz history in general. Oghuz cultures are a fascinating mix of Turkic blood and culture mix with pre Turkic peoples. The fusions created diverse art, architecture and cuisine, a influence undertone of neighboring cultures, and a massive achievement in military history adaptability. Even the Oghuz Turks in the Caucasus were popular recruits for Soviet army do to military cultural achievements. So they are strong. Turkiye is a extremely important member of NATO since 9/11
Oghur Turkic history is more interesting to me as they are almost exinct with only Chuvash language left and they have language connection to the Hunnic and Bulgar turkic languages while Oghuz is closer to the Kipchak branches. Most of the Turks in the Middle East are Oghuz save for the Turkmens who live in central asia.
@@teovu5557 the Oghuz have become they're own race of Turk in a way. All that Middle-Eastern and sometimes Balkanic admixture mix with half they're Turkic dna hypridizing half of they're ancestry and culture with non Turkic races of various groups. So Oghuz are very unique
Might want to look up the differece between Oghuz Turks and Oghur Turks. The Oghur is an almost extinct from of Turkic while Oghuz is the most common type of Turkic. Oghur is so interesting because its the type of Turkic language spoken by the Huns,Khazars and Bulgars and were the first Turks in Eastern Europe. It is also heavly infleunced by Scythian/Sarmatian languages and Ugric lanaguges
Both my Grandparents on my father's side were from Turkey, sadly they were exiled during the exchange. But they had no hard feelings as they were very young when it happened. They often would visit Turkey and my Yiayia was fluent. They hated the British more because of the Civil war after ww2 and the junta. I was born and raised in North London. Over here Cypriots and Turks get on like family and you'll often find each side has best friends/girlfriends/boyfriends from the other side. Turkish people are my favourite human beings on the planet. They have always been good to me, helpful, friendly, loving and I would d-ie for them lol.
Almostly i cried, thanks for nice your thought my friend. Depends on many politic argumeents we're still friend and share many common stuffs with each other. Loves and big hugs to you! ❤

As for Turkish music, I want to note the metal scene. They specialize in brutal death metal and black metal. I don't know many bands to recommend since it's very general, you can just look it up word by word on TH-cam and you'll find at least something not necessarily above average but good, however, if you wanna check them out, try Sarinvomit.
Pentagram also known as Mezarkabul is the pioneer band on the heavy metal genre in Turkey. They have been around for over 30 years and have many awesome albums&songs.I know some of more contemporary bands like Mithra and Murder King makes good metal music too. If you want to discover more, there is a channel called melodeath by countries and there is a section for Turkey in the channel. You would find a lot of good stuff!!
I started watching Geography Now from the Armenia episode 7 years ago making this my longest subscribed TH-cam channel. As someone with a Turkish background I've been looking forward to this episode for years & I am so happy it finally dropped. I want to thank Barbs & the rest of the Geography Now crew for opening my eyes to this wonderful world we live in, can't wait for the UK (where I live) episode

He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace. 75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it. 76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious. 77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment. 78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly. 79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.” 80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted? 81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.” 82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful. 83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned? 84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.” 85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people. 87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful. 90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. 111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.” Read The Quran.
Regarding the music section by Keith, I was expecting him to talk about rock bands of 2000s like "Mor ve Ötesi" (meaning Purple and Beyond or ultraviolet) and "maNga". "maNga" represented Turkey at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "We Could Be the Same" and took second place. They won the Best European Act award from MTV Networks Europe in MTV Europe Music Awards 2009. The interesting note would be that a lot of the founders of those rock groups are graduates from top universities of Istanbul and Ankara. There are also other rock singers like Teoman, Şebnem Ferah, Emre Aydın that I have listened to. But the most popular singer from Turkey would be "Tarkan", known as a prince of pop in Turkey.
Thank you, this was a really fun episode! Turkey sure deserved such great treatment. Funny that you managed to go through the music section without mentioning Tarkan but I learned many other new names instead ❤️🇹🇷
I’ve been watching you since I was a kid and always dreamt about the day you make the Turkey episode: alphabet was not in favour of me as you can tell 😅 I was and still am amazed to see you summing up countries without going political and make your point as least misunderstandable as possible. Geography Now is doing a great job and I look forward to see US and UK episodes. A Turkish fan of yours 🇹🇷❤️
Another fun and informative video! I’ve been following this channel since Albania episode. I’m so happy that i had the chance to participate in Turkey episode. Thank you! Greetings from Istanbul 🤍
The Hungarian word árpa was borrowed from a Turkic language before the times of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries), from Proto-Turkic *arpa.[5][6][4] The Hungarians cohabited for centuries with Turkic people, which accounts for over 10% word roots in modern Hungarian being Turkic. In Hungarian, most pastoral terms are Turkic in origin, and agricultural terms are 50% r-Turkic. Many Hungarian names, and also animal and plant names,[7] are of Turkic origin, and the majority of tribe names were of Turkic origin.[8]Turkic is, along with Uralic, German and Slavic, one of the four languages that have the greatest percentage of word roots in the Hungarian language. However, the Magyars are not a Turkic people, though the Turks made a genetic and linguistic contribution.[9][10]
1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 2. God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5. Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 58. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 61. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.” 62. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise. 63. But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt. 64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.” 65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason? 66. Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know. 67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. 69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it. 70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness? 71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth? 72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.” 73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing. 74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace. 75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it. 76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious. 77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment. 78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly. 79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.” 80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted? 81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.” 82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful. 83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned? 84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.” 85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people. 87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful. 90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. 111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.” Read The Quran.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 55. Allah said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing. 56. As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57. Those who insult Allah and His Messenger, Allah has cursed them in this life and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a demeaning punishment.
1. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. 1. Say, “He is Allah, the One. 2. Allah, the Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4. And there is none comparable to Him.” 87. Allah-there is no god except He. He will gather you to the Day of Resurrection, in which there is no doubt. And who speaks more truly than Allah? 115. Whoever makes a breach with the Messenger, after the guidance has become clear to him, and follows other than the path of the believers, We will direct him in the direction he has chosen, and commit him to Hell-what a terrible destination! 116. Allah will not forgive that partners be associated with Him; but will forgive anything less than that, to whomever He wills. Anyone who ascribes partners to Allah has strayed into far error. 117. They invoke in His stead only females. In fact, they invoke none but a rebellious devil. 118. Allah has cursed him. And he said, “I will take to myself my due share of Your servants.” 119. “And I will mislead them, and I will entice them, and I will prompt them to slit the ears of cattle, and I will prompt them to alter the creation of Allah.” Whoever takes Satan as a lord, instead of Allah, has surely suffered a profound loss. 120. He promises them, and he raises their expectations, but Satan promises them nothing but delusions. 121. These-their place is Hell, and they will find no escape from it. 122. But as for those who believe and do righteous deeds, We will admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. The promise of Allah is true-and who is more truthful in speech than Allah? 156. And for their faithlessness, and their saying against Mary a monstrous slander. 157. And for their saying, “We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.” In fact, they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they did. Indeed, those who differ about him are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, except the following of assumptions. Certainly, they did not kill him. 158. Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself. Allah is Mighty and Wise. 159. There is none from the People of the Scripture but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them. 160. Due to wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We forbade them good things that used to be lawful for them; and for deterring many from Allah’s path. 161. And for their taking usury, although they were forbidden it; and for their consuming people's wealth dishonestly. We have prepared for the faithless among them a painful torment. 162. But those among them firmly rooted in knowledge, and the believers, believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you; and the observers of prayers, and the givers of charity, and the believers in Allah and the Last Day-upon these We will bestow an immense reward. 163. We have inspired you, as We had inspired Noah and the prophets after him. And We inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and Jesus, and Job, and Jonah, and Aaron, and Solomon. And We gave David the Psalms. 164. Some messengers We have already told you about, while some messengers We have not told you about. And Allah spoke to Moses directly. 165. Messengers delivering good news, and bringing warnings; so that people may have no excuse before Allah after the coming of the messengers. Allah is Powerful and Wise. 166. But Allah bears witness to what He revealed to you. He revealed it with His knowledge. And the angels bear witness. Though Allah is a sufficient witness. 167. Those who disbelieve and repel from Allah’s path have gone far astray. 168. Those who disbelieve and transgress; Allah is not about to forgive them, nor will He guide them to any path. 169. Except to the path of Hell, where they will dwell forever. And that is easy for Allah. 170. O people! The Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe-that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to Allah belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. Allah is Omniscient and Wise. 171. O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of Allah, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” Refrain-it is better for you. Allah is only one God. Glory be to Him-that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and Allah is a sufficient Protector. 172. The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of Allah, nor do the favored angels. Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant-He will round them up to Himself altogether. 173. But as for those who believe and do good works, He will pay them their wages in full, and will increase His grace for them. But as for those who disdain and are too proud, He will punish them with an agonizing punishment. And they will find for themselves, apart from Allah, no lord and no savior. 174. O people! A proof has come to you from your Lord, and We sent down to you a clear light. 175. As for those who believe in Allah, and hold fast to Him, He will admit them into mercy and grace from Him, and will guide them to Himself in a straight path. 72. They disbelieve those who say, “Allah is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself said, “O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates others with Allah, Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire. The wrongdoers have no saviors.” 73. They disbelieve those who say, “Allah is the third of three.” But there is no deity except the One God. If they do not refrain from what they say, a painful torment will befall those among them who disbelieve. 74. Will they not repent to Allah and ask His forgiveness? Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. 75. The Messiah son of Mary was only a messenger, before whom other Messengers had passed away, and his mother was a woman of truth. They both used to eat food. Note how We make clear the revelations to them; then note how deluded they are. 76. Say, “Do you worship, besides Allah, what has no power to harm or benefit you?” But Allah: He is the Hearer, the Knower. 77. Say, “O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion beyond the truth; and do not follow the opinions of people who went astray before, and misled many, and themselves strayed off the balanced way.” 78. Cursed were those who disbelieved from among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and Jesus son of Mary. That is because they rebelled and used to transgress. 79. They used not to prevent one another from the wrongs they used to commit. Evil is what they used to do. 80. You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve. Terrible is what their souls prompts them to do. The wrath of Allah fell upon them, and in the torment they will remain. 81. Had they believed in Allah and the Prophet, and in what was revealed to him, they would not have befriended them. But many of them are immoral. Read The Quran
Loved this!! Dude, you should totally go to Victoria Falls (which is a geological marvel) to do Zambia and Zimbabwe. You can help settle the age old debate on which country has the better view!
That is probably the best video about Türkiye(Turkey) I've ever watched! I've enjoyed every second of it and was really wondering about the amount of relevant information you were able to cover. If someone ever requests a video about Turkey, this is probably the only one on the internet I will recommend. Greetings from the Turko-German Diaspora :)

No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.” 80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted? 81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.” 82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful. 83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned? 84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.” 85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. 86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people. 87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind. 88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved. 89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful. 90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost. 91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors. 111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.” Read The Quran.
I’m learning Turkish as my 4th language, because I wanna travel around Türkiye, Central Asia, and other Mediterranean countries in North Africa and Middle East that have Turkish enclaves. I also plan on retiring there in the future (also considering Thailand). Greetings to Türkiye from a British-Filipino American, who’s Turkish by heart!
Turkey is one of the best retirment places on earth. Especially western coast more to the south like Mugla is just the best place. It’s like a heaven and it’s so cheap when you know Turkish and you live as a local. (Cheap in € or $ £)
I am Turkish and I remember discovering this channel when I just started going to high school, and I thought "at this pace, *this video* will be out after I graduate from university", it seemed so distant. I graduated from university 2 months ago and here we are
As a vegetarian, while traveling to Istanbul, I always heared "this is not a good country for vegetarians"...WROOONG! you guys have amazing vegetarian food and apparenlty have no idea
Yess this was something I mentioned during the meeting in Istanbul. In the Mediterranean side especially, we are barely eating any red meat. We have great vegetarian food here but Kebab is the most famous one and gets the most attention ofc.
I always vouch for Turkish vegetarian cuisine you can totally enjoy delicious food without touching meat once. However, when it comes to vegan food it’s probably better to look towards persian/arabic cuisine as we LOVE to put yogurt and butter or eggs everywhere
There was a Viking commander that came to Constantinople during Byzantine times that was shocked by the diverse plant and animal life. As a person from İzmir, our main cuisine is vegetables(Cretan heritage i think). There are so many plants we eat that high portion of them aren't even domesticated. If you are in the countryside, you just go to the forest or hills and gather some then cook it with olive oil and eat it for breakfast. I sometimes dream opening a sophisticated Ot(a general name for leafy vegetables but literal translation is grass) Restaurant for vegans or Turks in Europe.
Thank you for this great episode. Ege is a fabulous addition (he is a natural at presentation) and having Turks in the video makes this even more authentic. Thanks to all.
I was like: hey, that old Turkish script looks like old Hungarian script. And 5 seconds later I've got the confirmation. Thanks guys, I love the country and its people.
This may have been your best episode thus far. And you have made a lot of really good episodes. You always set your own bar even higher. Kudos to you and the team for a wonderful execution on this video.
@@brokkrep Nah... Well, yeah, he must know a lot about US, but it's history is kinda boring, geography isn't too bad, but nothing special and it's gonna be HELL LOT CONTROVERSIAL.
@@gorcin7075 History is boring? A bunch of drunk fatasses didn’t like taxes and decided to win a war against the most powerful country in the world. Sounds pretty interesting to me
I discovered your channel like 6-7 years ago and since then i would check it occasionally to see if it came to turkey yet. After 7 years its here. Kinda emotional
There's also the Baklava in the desserts section! That being ignored made me uncomfortable lol... Jokes aside, as a Turkish-Canadian I really liked this episode, I mean I was waiting for this for almost a year! Even though there are controversial topics related to Turkey, I honestly think that the food, the culture and the nature of Turkey is great. This was a pretty good episode!👍🇹🇷🇹🇷
We have many Turks in Germany and especially the food culture has left so many traces in today's cuisine, I love it! I have a special connection to the Turkish people: I grew up in a small village and there was only one Turkish/Kurdish family there in the early 1990s and I went to class 1-4 with one of the kids. First he spoke almost no German, he was teased because he barely spoke German and I took his side and we became friends soon. When his family heard that my father was raising me alone after his divorce, the whole family never took their eyes off me. The disadvantage was that when we got into some trouble, both families noticed it right away. 😂When I had surgery and came out of the hospital, the whole family was at the doorstep and we celebrated my recovery, the whole living room full of people. If I even passed within sight of their house on my bike, I was immediately invited in to eat or drink tea and always left the house with a bag full of homemade pita bread or other delicacies, my father was always crazy about it. They moved to another city, as we got older the contact broke off. A few weeks ago I had to think about it, because somehow this family was a part of my childhood and although I went through a very difficult time from a family point of view, I always felt safe there and was treated as sweetly as if I were their own child. My father is a referee in soccer and three weeks ago a turkish soccer player came up to him and told my father that he was the turkish boy from my childhood. He told him my father should greet me warmly from his whole family and he would hope that I and our family would be okay. My father called me immediately after the game and I have rarely been so happy about a greeting. What I find very unfortunate (and I think this will be a very controversial topic as well) is that the German population and Turkish migrants live in the same country, but often in parallel worlds. Many descendants of Turkish immigrants even have German passports or dual citizenship. And the fact that there is partly a parallel society is by no means only the fault of the Turkish migrants - but that is how it is often presented, unfortunately. Many Germans like to eat Turkish food or buy from Turkish merchants, but know nothing of the people themselves. Yes, the cultures are different, but we can get to know each other and learn more from each other and grow as a society.
One day I met a 14 year old Turkish kid with his aunt and they showed me and my mom around Istanbul. I promised him he could be in the Turkey episode when it came up. 5 years later I kept that promise. Say "hi" to our youngest guest host, Ege, who became a part-time metalcore emo musician and international relations major. Proud of you man! You've grown up! And HUGE thanks to the ~60 Turkish Subscribers that met up with us in Izmir and Istanbul and helped with information for this episode!
ALSO yes I am aware the UN recognizes this country as "Türkiye" however we follow the English names (English hs no "ü") and also... I'm not the UN
Enjoy!
Lol

We also have a city named Denizli which means “has sea”. Denizli is a landlocked city.
It was actually named "Domuzlu" which means "has pigs/swines" due to having many swine habitats.

Big fan of feudal Japanese history.
I waited long for this very good episode. Thank you!
Another history fun fact:
In around 1890 an Ottoman ship named Ertuğrul shipwrecked off the coast of Japan as it came back from a diplomatic mission. The local population helped rescue the surviving crew and since then the Ottomans(and later Turkey) had a warm relationship with Japan. They even made a movie about it called „Ertuğrul 1890” or „125 years memory“.
The Turks also did something back: During the iran iraq war a plane full of japanese families was stuck in iran since irak declared it a no fly zone. The turkish ambassador had a plan though. Get turkish airlines to fly them out. But if they wanted all the japanese people to fit in the plane the crew had to be left behind. They did not want to stay in a war zone that was until the turkish ambassador told the crew the story of the ottoman ship that crashed in japan and that the crew was saved by an japanese village. Only then they agreed.
I spent a couple weeks in Turkey earlier this year as part of a nine-week Eastern European road trip. I have NEVER been someplace where grown men were more delighted to see a baby! My wife and daughter loved the attention, and I must admit that I was quite touched by how sweet they all were.
It's funny you should say that. I have a Turkish friend here in Switzerland and I sometimes have to remind him not to stare at babies too much because it might come across as creepy - but he just genuinely thinks they're so cute!
@@meissoun I would absolutely fit in with the Turks I just think babies are so cute!
it is in our blood, we want to take all babies and make them janissary 💀
There was a video of a young turkish dude playing music in the street and this turkish baby girl was dancing/clapping along. The dude just grabbed the baby, raised her in the air and started kissing her after finishing the song. I was simply in shock to see people calling him a creep in the comments. I understand that there are creepy people in the world and the culture around safety in western countries(I guess med not included), but finding a baby cute should be universal and above genders.
I'm in Cuba right now and I went up, talked and squeezed cheeks of like every single child in resort. People must think I'm crazy 🤣

As a Turk, I've been waiting for this episode for a long time.
I felt that some parts of the video were a bit rushed. There was also a lot of information that was not mentioned.
However, if someone asks me what it feels like to be Turkish, I'm full of pride and anger but somehow I can't find the words to describe it. For this reason, I can understand some of the misses in the video.
So thank you very much to you and Ege for introducing us with a beautiful "35 minutes" episode.
Well dude, I waited too, I wasnt disappointed, learned lot of cool things, but here is the thing- you had to wait, but I think it payed off. If you look for example on my country, Czech Republic, we were maybe early on, which is good, but if you feel like your country was rushed, we had just 8 minutes 🙂🥲. And not just Czechia, but almost all countries until like Nauru, where there is 14 minutes, and no its 30... :/. I know, its too much stuff, but still, after Barb is done with this series, he can at least finish all countries to be 30 minutes at least? Or at least those who have ton of stuff with them? You get my point no? ;) . Greetings to Turkeiy btw :)
@@kexcz8276 One of the points where this channel unites us all is our desire to learn about countries. When you look at it from this perspective, the situation you said about the videos three or four years ago is very true. In this respect, we are lucky as a country.
I am also very happy the new infos about my country you have learned. Greetings to the Czech Republic.

Hello from Turkey, i love greeks =) Only problem is our idiot politicians.
In Bulgaria we learned that almost everyone loves Turkish Delight, along with the coffee or tea. And yes they had “Doner Kebab” too. My wife’s family took us to a Turkish restaurant in Westchester run by a Ukrainian, he explained to us that he was a smuggler during the USSR days, he would sneak across the Black Sea at night, stay in Turkey all day, and then sneak back in the next night, and he grew to love the food so much he wanted to open a Turkish restaurant!
In Finland, ”Döner Kebab” (and other kebabs, too) have exploded in popularity in the last, like, 30-40 years 🇫🇮🇹🇷.
Such a random but lovely story from so far away... Ah, life is so fun and weird at the same time

I was waiting for this episode for years , and wasn’t disappointed. This country is batshit crazy in my opinion and just mentioning the name is a call for discussions/fights. I really think both of you guys handled the topics discussed very professionally.
And I want to shout out to Ege, who did a very good job. As an almost 30 years old Turkish woman I was so proud of him on how he presented himself and explained the country. One of my favorite episodes for sure.

Major props to Ege! Easily one of your best guest co-hosts in long time! Really engaging and best of all, really fluid in his delivery of the material.
1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
2. God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
5. Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.
6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
58. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63. But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason?
66. Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know.
67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists.
68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers.
69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it.
70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness?
71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth?
72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.”
73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing.
74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it.
76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious.
77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment.
78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.
79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.”
80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted?
81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.”
82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful.
83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned?
84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.”
85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people.
87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind.
88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved.
89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful.
90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost.
91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors.
111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.”
Read The Quran.

- Turkish National Basketball team have done a lot. We were finalists in 2010 World Cup Basketball, we were finalist in 2001 Europe etc.
- We even hosted olympics! We hosted deaf and winter universities olympics in Turkey
Approximately 4 years ago, when you started this series, I watched all of your videos with joy as a 'geography nerd' kid. I waited with excitement for your Turkey video. It seemed to me like you were gonna post it 1 or 2 months later but yeeah, I guess I had to be less optimistic :D My highschool started then and my interests kind of changed so I of course couldn't watch all of your videos but I checked you like once in a 5 months and say meeh there is still time for Turkey. Now I'm checking it again and I finally see the 'Geography Now! TURKEY' title and yeah, nobody would understand my feelings, my excitement right now. Feeling like this waiting is part of my adolecence. Thank you for FINALLY posting it :D Cheers.
About Hungary: the Ottoman Empire ruled a large part of Hungary for 150 years. It's complicated (imagine a little bell ringing here) but sometimes the Hungarian people had better relations with the Turks then the Habsburgs (who ruled another big chunk of Humgary at that time). Also back in ancient and early medieval times the Hungarians were Central Asian nomadic people - just like many Turkic groups. We have many Turkish loanwords, Turkic historic sites and of course during 150 years of Ottoman rule many people intermarried. There are many Hungarians with Turkish last names. The influence of the Ottomans might not be as strong or easily spotted as German or Slavic ones, but it's clearly visible.
Hungarians were Ugric tribe not Turkic but Turkic Arpad dynasty ruled them
@@papazataklaattiranimam There are several theories about the Ugric and Turkic roots of the Hungarians. I didn't heard that one, but that doesn't mean, that it's false. I heard, that some of the Hungarian tribes were Turkic, while the majority was Ugric. The fact is, that we don't have any contemporary written sources or only vague ones, that get many other things wrong.
@@franciskafayeszter4138 Good approach! Tribes were only tribes and they interacted and mixed constantly for business and survival reasons. Nationalism is a far more recent thing.
Attila might be not the greatest factor for the very old relationship between Magyars and Huns and other Turkic tribes. There is an interesting fact about the Magyars not many talk about. According to scholars, the Summerian language is still a mistery but closely related to old Hungarian. If that is true, the migration of the Magyars to todays Hungary or generally Europe is not correct and needs revision. This would show how the Caspian region played a huge role for the interaction.
Ten thousands of people in Törökország have the name "Attila, Bleda, Imre, Arpad " Also we are the rare people that pronounce the name Hungarian as Macar(means Magyar) and Hungary as Macaristan(means Magyarország)
@@oguztoprak9721 that’s not so strange, many countries close to Hungary call them something similar to magyar
I have spent the past 5 weeks driving all around Turkey and am literally driving back as we speak, you don’t know how excited I have been for this episode to come out, I’m expecting it to be filled with places I’ve visited over the last month!!! :)
Do in Turkey many people speak well english? In big cities is a problem to speak english and be understood, even in medium size places like trabzon?
@@roatskm2337 Hardly anyone spoke English, especially the older generations! We couch surfed all over too so where staying with families we couldn’t even communicate with…but everyone was so so lovely :)
I guess Ankara, istanbul and izmir (in Eskisehir as well maybe becuz of the student population) has the most English speakersnin Turkey
I would really like to visit different parts of Turkey. I’ve only ever been to Kayseri and its surrounding area, İstanbul and its surrounding area (mostly the European side), and Bodrum.
@@1gamz I remember seeing some places from the street with signs that imply that you go there to learn English. I’ve never tried to speak English to a random person in İstanbul, though, so I don’t know what proportion of the city speaks some level of English.
i love how you take your mom everywhere with you, that's so wholesome
As a 2nd generation Hungarian, I met and made a lot of Turkish friends in college. We had a lot in common and have fun exchanging aspects of our culture. We also have a very similar alphabet so I can pronounce a lot of Turkish, even though I can’t understand it, which made for many amusing moments.
Special mention to Altin Gün, who I believe single handedly re-introduced Anatolian Rock to the international community! They’re by far my favourite Turkish band!
1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
2. God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
5. Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.
6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
58. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63. But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason?
66. Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know.
67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists.
68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers.
69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it.
70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness?
71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth?
72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.”
73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing.
74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it.
76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious.
77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment.
78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.
79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.”
80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted?
81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.”
82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful.
83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned?
84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.”
85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people.
87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind.
88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved.
89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful.
90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost.
91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors.
111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.”
Read The Quran.
“I am to you a clear warner.”
“That you shall worship none but God. I fear for you the agony of a painful Day.”

1. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
1. Say, “He is Allah, the One.
2. Allah, the Absolute.
3. He begets not, nor was He begotten.
4. And there is none comparable to Him.”
87. Allah-there is no god except He. He will gather you to the Day of Resurrection, in which there is no doubt. And who speaks more truly than Allah?
115. Whoever makes a breach with the Messenger, after the guidance has become clear to him, and follows other than the path of the believers, We will direct him in the direction he has chosen, and commit him to Hell-what a terrible destination!
116. Allah will not forgive that partners be associated with Him; but will forgive anything less than that, to whomever He wills. Anyone who ascribes partners to Allah has strayed into far error.
117. They invoke in His stead only females. In fact, they invoke none but a rebellious devil.
118. Allah has cursed him. And he said, “I will take to myself my due share of Your servants.”
119. “And I will mislead them, and I will entice them, and I will prompt them to slit the ears of cattle, and I will prompt them to alter the creation of Allah.” Whoever takes Satan as a lord, instead of Allah, has surely suffered a profound loss.
120. He promises them, and he raises their expectations, but Satan promises them nothing but delusions.
121. These-their place is Hell, and they will find no escape from it.
122. But as for those who believe and do righteous deeds, We will admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. The promise of Allah is true-and who is more truthful in speech than Allah?
156. And for their faithlessness, and their saying against Mary a monstrous slander.
157. And for their saying, “We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.” In fact, they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they did. Indeed, those who differ about him are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, except the following of assumptions. Certainly, they did not kill him.
158. Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself. Allah is Mighty and Wise.
159. There is none from the People of the Scripture but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them.
160. Due to wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We forbade them good things that used to be lawful for them; and for deterring many from Allah’s path.
161. And for their taking usury, although they were forbidden it; and for their consuming people's wealth dishonestly. We have prepared for the faithless among them a painful torment.
162. But those among them firmly rooted in knowledge, and the believers, believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you; and the observers of prayers, and the givers of charity, and the believers in Allah and the Last Day-upon these We will bestow an immense reward.
163. We have inspired you, as We had inspired Noah and the prophets after him. And We inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and Jesus, and Job, and Jonah, and Aaron, and Solomon. And We gave David the Psalms.
164. Some messengers We have already told you about, while some messengers We have not told you about. And Allah spoke to Moses directly.
165. Messengers delivering good news, and bringing warnings; so that people may have no excuse before Allah after the coming of the messengers. Allah is Powerful and Wise.
166. But Allah bears witness to what He revealed to you. He revealed it with His knowledge. And the angels bear witness. Though Allah is a sufficient witness.
167. Those who disbelieve and repel from Allah’s path have gone far astray.
168. Those who disbelieve and transgress; Allah is not about to forgive them, nor will He guide them to any path.
169. Except to the path of Hell, where they will dwell forever. And that is easy for Allah.
170. O people! The Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe-that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to Allah belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. Allah is Omniscient and Wise.
171. O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of Allah, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” Refrain-it is better for you. Allah is only one God. Glory be to Him-that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and Allah is a sufficient Protector.
172. The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of Allah, nor do the favored angels. Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant-He will round them up to Himself altogether.
173. But as for those who believe and do good works, He will pay them their wages in full, and will increase His grace for them. But as for those who disdain and are too proud, He will punish them with an agonizing punishment. And they will find for themselves, apart from Allah, no lord and no savior.
174. O people! A proof has come to you from your Lord, and We sent down to you a clear light.
175. As for those who believe in Allah, and hold fast to Him, He will admit them into mercy and grace from Him, and will guide them to Himself in a straight path.
72. They disbelieve those who say, “Allah is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself said, “O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates others with Allah, Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire. The wrongdoers have no saviors.”
73. They disbelieve those who say, “Allah is the third of three.” But there is no deity except the One God. If they do not refrain from what they say, a painful torment will befall those among them who disbelieve.
74. Will they not repent to Allah and ask His forgiveness? Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
75. The Messiah son of Mary was only a messenger, before whom other Messengers had passed away, and his mother was a woman of truth. They both used to eat food. Note how We make clear the revelations to them; then note how deluded they are.
76. Say, “Do you worship, besides Allah, what has no power to harm or benefit you?” But Allah: He is the Hearer, the Knower.
77. Say, “O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion beyond the truth; and do not follow the opinions of people who went astray before, and misled many, and themselves strayed off the balanced way.”
78. Cursed were those who disbelieved from among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and Jesus son of Mary. That is because they rebelled and used to transgress.
79. They used not to prevent one another from the wrongs they used to commit. Evil is what they used to do.
80. You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve. Terrible is what their souls prompts them to do. The wrath of Allah fell upon them, and in the torment they will remain.
81. Had they believed in Allah and the Prophet, and in what was revealed to him, they would not have befriended them. But many of them are immoral.

I visited Istanbul in 2014 and it was one of the most amazing places I've ever been. Turkiye's always been high on my list of countries to return to; there's so much still there in the rest of the country that I want to see.
im greek, and the amount of foods and ideas our cultures share is astonishing. we, too, have the nazar, the itching of the right hand, that little ritual of fortune telling by using the cup of coffee, entering a house with the right foot, pouring water on people before long trips, stepping on new shoes, the bread dropping thing! i knew about the foods, but not about these! i rly wish we could put our differences in the past, resolve our remaining issues in a civil way and FINALLY have some peace. we dont need to lose people to war because our leaders want profit.
why cant we just both come to terms and sacrifice some of our claims for peace? its a win win situation, but then major world powers get involved.. i fear conflict is unavoidable
@@cafio0 but that doesnt let the old men steal money using the military budget. Also brings some votes too.
Wtf you guys have the same superstitions? That's actually wild to know. If only the politicians would stop using petty reasons to vilify each other.
Its interesting you have the pouring water thing too. This one comes from our shamanic roots
I read "civil way" as "civil war" for a second and was like :O for a second lol. Jokes aside all the greek people I have met so far were so easy to get along. The way our governments try to villainize each other is just retarded.
As a Spaniard, I think Turkey is an incredible country, not only their food is amazing but also their culture seems really interesting. I hope to visit Turkey one day and omg they should return to the ESC asap, they were really good at it. 🇪🇸♥️🇹🇷

At one point in my studies I did a group project with this Turkish guy. We hit it off really well and went for a beer often after we had worked on our project. We started talking about our respective languages and he told me this story. He was a major fan of the Chronicles of Narnia as a child and read all of the books (in Turkish). One thing that had always annoyed him was the name Aslan. The name of the lion as we all know is Aslan. Aslan in Turkish, however, literally means lion. He had always thought the author of the books was too lazy to give the lion a name and had just named him lion. He only found out that the name of the lion was Aslan when he moved away from Turkey and saw the movies in English for the first time.
Actually Narnia's author was very interested in Turkish culture, so he used many Turkish culture references in the book.
Janis-Cadi (witch in Turkish)
Tash-Tas (rock in Turkish)
The Ilgamuth Tarkaan name is inspired by ancient Turkic names
Turkish delight obliviously, and so on
BIJI KURDISTAN
I was in love with Narnia as a Turkish child, and i didn't know the lion's original name is "Aslan" until now...

As an American of Eastern European descent, Turkey was one of the episodes I was looking forward to the most. I remember there was a major earthquake in Turkey in the summer of 1999 around the same time there was an eclipse over Europe. As an Orthodox Christian, I like how they mentioned the leader of the Orthodox Church is based in Turkey. I would like to visit Turkey one day.
Earthquake was occured a week after the eclipse.
Yeah i was in the center of this earthquake. So tragic.
not really connected events.
Yes, 17 August 1999 İzmit earthquake. The earthquake in which we lost thousands of people who will always be mourned in the history of Turkey. There was a big earthquake in Greece triggered by this earthquake.
You are always welcome Michael, I hope you spent good time here
35 minutes for Turkey is about as short as you can get for that country. So many incredible sites, people and foods

I laughed a lot with the superstitions segment. We do most of these things in Greece too, like entering a house with your right leg, the ubiquitous Evil Eye, telling your fortune with coffee remains, wood knocking, right hand itching=money (but left hand itching=you're gonna get beaten up), stepping on new shoes (but not just the first one, everyone who sees it will do it until your shoes are not new and nice anymore). I also had an ex-girlfriend who believed that exchanging sharp objects meant that we would fight, although we didn't need the sharp objects for that...
1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
2. God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
5. Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.
6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
58. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63. But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason?
66. Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know.
67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists.
68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers.
69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it.
70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness?
71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth?
72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.”
73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing.
74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it.
76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious.
77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment.
78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.
79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.”
80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted?
81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.”
82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful.
83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned?
84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.”
85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people.
87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind.
88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved.
89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful.
90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost.
91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors.
111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.”
Read The Quran.
“I am to you a clear warner.”
“That you shall worship none but God. I fear for you the agony of a painful Day.”

@@abdulali8738 go away,you and your Qur'an

55. Allah said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing.
56. As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.
57. Those who insult Allah and His Messenger, Allah has cursed them in this life and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a demeaning punishment.

Geography Now has been, and always will be one of the most interesting and amazing shows I’ve ever watched. Ever since the journey started 8 years ago in Afghanistan, there are only 15 more episodes left. The first thing I would do after school on Wednesday and Friday was to watch these videos. A show that’s goal is to explore every sovereign independent country and shorten it down to 30 minutes or less is almost unheard of. So as this journey is coming to a close, I’d like to say thank you, Paul, for 8 years of amazing content.
Fun fact: a group of Celts known as the Galatians even settled the area around Ankara around the 2-3 centuries BCE.
It's estimated that there are close to 30.000 descendants of the Celtic Galatians, there's a good chance of the uncommon red haired Turks being one of those
One of the most famous football clubs is named Galatasaray
@@nenenindonu Nope. Red haired Turks are descendants of Europeans enslaved by the Turks.

Türkiye was the only country which did not accept and never recognized partitions of Poland.
I ve been in Türkiye 3 times in a few cities and places. Great country, nice people, delicious food!!
Cheers from 🇵🇱
We love you too!
Part of why the partitions of Poland were never recognized is because the Crimean Khanate's position in what's now the southern half of Ukraine, as well as Ottoman relations to the PLC which had a lot to do with each other's imperial conquest goals.
there's also a polish village in istanbul called polinezköy. they came to turkey as refugees during the ww2 and became a valuable community for turkey. awesome people,best slavs.
There is also Iran
Thank you for your kind words. We Turks will never forget the services and in some cases, martyrdoms, of Adam Mickiewicz, Stanisław Julian Ostroróg, Ahmet Rüstem Bey, Leon Walerian Ostroróg, Władysław Czajkowski, Antoni Aleksander Iliński, Józef Bem, Józef Jagmin, Michał Czajkowski, Władysław Stanisław Zamoyski, and many other Poles who fought for and alongside us 🇹🇷♥️🇵🇱
And I'm sure you as a Pole know the Ottoman Sultans' famous and renowned saying until Poland was an independent country; "Where is the deputy from Lehistan [Poland in Turkish]?" for nearly 150 years, in every meeting with European powers in the Ottoman Empire.
As a Turkish TH-camr, I was waiting for this episode since the letter C and cannot believe that this day finally arrived! This is one heck of a country without trying to be biased lol.
Its so diverse, modern and traditional, and hosts people that are as western as us or far more so even, and some that believe in the roots of their middle eastern heritage.
And everytime someone visits there will always be a new story from that country. Whether its going on beach clubs and pop festivals, or exploring the local routines and traditions of more ancient and traditional areas.
Honestly my favorite country of all time!

Ahhhh Turkey... have wanted to visit for a long long time. I'm Australian and have an online Turkish friend who lives in Samsun on the Black Sea coast who has introduced me to a LOT of Turkish things including music, language, food, politics etc. I have learnt a bit of the language, not much. It's beautiful. I listen to Turkish music a lot, including bands like maNga, Model, and lots of random pop stuff :P

After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.”

I've been waiting for this episode forever and finally here it is. I got so emotional while watching it. I'm sick of this place's problems but I know I'd die for it as well. Turkey has so much to talk about and I think you made nice summary for people who don't know. I just wanna add something to the food section. Everyone thinks of us as meat lover country and that's true but we also have sooo many delicious vegetable dishes cooked with olive oil. And if you go to Black Sea region you'll find sarma and soup made from black cabbage. Anyways thanks for making this episode this well.
One nation, two states! Love you Turkiye! 🇦🇿🇹🇷

Yay!!! I’m so glad the Turkey episode is finally here!!!
I find the country to be very interesting in a good way all-around. Also, their national anthem… good god it’s great.
heeeey! :DDD it's so interesting to me that despite living half of Asia away from Turkey, we, Tuvans (a turkic ethnicity in Siberia), have plenty of superstitions in common. our culture have roots in nomadic lifestyle and is deeply influenced by buddhism, being part of russia having its touch, so i never really understood where these superstitions come from. like it's obvious that our languages are related, but I haven't thought about these little cultural gestusres and habits. for example:
when we have "too much" fun, adults will say 'don't laugh too much or else you'll be crying later' ;
cutting nails and getting your hair cut late at evening is a no-no. apparently it has something to do with dark, evil spirits living in them ;
not lending sharp objects to people ; or don't keep your scissors unlocked? or you'll be in a fight ;
and so on.
some of superstitions I recognize as well-known overall in russia, cuz russians are super supersticious too. itching of hands, ears, nose, cheeks, etc. leading to smthn is quite a popular belief in russia as far as i know.
very interesting bro same vibe in turkey 👍😅
I think its related to our shaman religion and rituals. Our ancestors were very spiritual and believed in those things and we still carry those values and beliefs untill now.
Love to Tuvan brothers from Turkiye.
@@burakcetav you're right. tho, i had no idea the turks believed in shamanism too. the more you know
@@herneyse11 same goes to you, bud
Great episode filled with lots of information! When you mentioned Mount Ararat, I was surprised that you didn't mention that Ararat was traditionally considered to be the resting place of Noah's Ark after the 40 days and 40 nights flooding mentioned in the Bible.
He did in the Armenia episode though!
Its not really a "traditional" story. The idea only came about in the 20th century when a natural rock formation shaped in a loose fashion to that of a boat was found on Mt. Ararat/Ağrı Dağı, and was deemed to be the landing place of the ark. No-one can possibly explain with any reason or logic how the wood of a mythical boat turned to stone (!!!) but that's irrelevant to the creationists out there. Türkiye plays it up for all its worth because, you know, tourism.
@@TheWorldHasGoneNuts Petrified wood is technically wood fossilized into stone, though I don’t know if it can form in Turkey.
I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in another episode
I thought it was Mount Judi!
Yıllardır t’ye sıra gelsin diye beklediğim serinin videosunu 3 ay sonra görüyorum :’)
I've been waiting for this episode for literal years. I'm a huge fan from Turkey, been a fan for around 7 years now. 5 years ago or so, when I was around 13, I sent you fanmail and you opened it on fan friday (you misread my name as deriz instead of deniz lmao). I remember sending you a flag and some other stuff that I could find, and daring you to pronounce some long turkish words lol. I believe I was the first Turkish person on fan friday.
The meetup was very close to my place, only around a 10 minute ride, but unfortunately, I couldn't go as I was rather sick, had a bad case of food poisoning. I hope you enjoyed your visit man. If you ever go to Turkey again and do a fan meetup, i'll definitely be there.
@@balgamlikedi eyv kardeşim
Quick correction: Turks are not heavy meat eaters, Turkey actually has the lowest meat consumption rate in Europe. Our internationally known dishes like kebab and doner are all meat based but they have historically been festive meals, not casual meals. Pre-agricultural modernization, most Anatolians only ate meat during weddings, funerals or Eid. Even after the modernization, due ti Turkey's terrain that doesn't support high meat return animal husbandry, meat has remained to be less accessible and expensive product.
@Kurdem kurd doesnt have state😆😃😂
Well... really depends on where you live. I have friends from Şanlıurfa and them mfs eat liver for breakfast. I also love having a late-night beyran if it's past 1 AM.
It's literally impossible to NOT eat meat in Türkiye, wtf is on about that consomption per capita ?
@@elioshabbar8443 Because Turkey is going through a very severe economic crisis (%180 inflation) and meat has basically become unaffordable to most.
@@kampfpanzerleopard346 meat is very cheap there tho, and last time I was there was less than a month ago
The video I’ve been waiting for the past 6 years is finally here! Thanks for your great work of all these years!!

Been to Turkey this July of 2022 in a resort near Manavgat, located within the province of Antalya. Stayed there for 7 days, briefly visited Manavgat and it was quite an authentic journey must I say. Might go to other places in Turkey sometime. I also love how you mentioned Istanbul having a lot of stray cats, it's one of those little facts that just make me smile knowing how well Turks are when it comes to treating stray animals they find on the street.
Now this video is 35 minutes but that extra bit of time doesn't matter because it still has that consistent Geography Now feel with it's straight-forward information, interesting obscure facts and gags. This episode especially feels pretty interesting with Barbs allowing Ege to make the spotlight, being the most youngest guest host and it was quite heartwarming to see Barbs find a random Turkish fan who was 14 when he met him in Istanbul and then 5 years later inviting him as a guest star.
1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
2. God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
5. Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.
6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
58. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63. But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason?
66. Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know.
67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists.
68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers.
69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it.
70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness?
71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth?
72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.”
73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing.
74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it.
76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious.
77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment.
78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.
79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.”
80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted?
81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.”
82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful.
83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned?
84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.”
85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people.
87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind.
88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved.
89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful.
90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost.
91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors.
111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.”
Read The Quran.

Προδότη, ξεχνάς τι μας κάνουν εμάς τους Κύπριους εδώ και τόσα χρόνια και τι έκαναν στους Πόντιους, Μικρασιάτες, Χιώτες, Ψαριανούς και σε τόσους άλλους Έλληνες και Αρμένιους στην διάρκεια 1071-2022? Μέχρι σήμερα γεύονται την Κύπρο,την Θράκη και τα νησιά του Αιγαίου συμπεριλαμβανομένου την Κρήτη. Τρείς γενοκτονίες, χιλιάδες σφαγές, υποχρεωτική εργασία και εκτουρκισμός-εξισλαμισμός. Μας συμπεριφέρονταν ως δεύτερης τάξης ανθρώπους. Σε προκαλώ να πας με σημαία της Ελλάδας και Σταυρό στο χέρι στην Αγία Σοφία την μεγαλύτερη Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία που έκαναν τζαμί να δείς τι θα σε κάνουν. Θα σε σκοτώσουν και κανένας δεν θα πάει φυλακή. Πρέπει να είσαι αριστερός για να είσαι τόσο μεγάλος προδότης. Δώσε μια ματιά στον χάρτη της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας σήμερα. Χάσαμε την μισή μας πατρίδα για προδότες σαν εσένα, οι μεγάλοι προδότες Μακάριος, Ιωαννίδης και κυρίως ο Καραμανλής που εκλέξατε τέσσερις φορές. Δεν είναι "ηλίθια διαμάχη μεταξύ των κυβερνήσεων" τις κυβερνήσεις ποιος τις ψηφίζει? Ο πρωθυπουργός αν και υποστηρίζει την χώρα μας έκανε αρκετά λάθη στην διακυβέρνηση, όπως το να κρατά τα αναρχικά απόβλητα έξω από τις φυλακές. Η πλειοψηφία των Τούρκων μισά τους Έλληνες(65%) αυτό τι δείχνει?

I've never seen, in my 25 years living in Turkey, a driver civilised enough to use advenced weaponry like a crowbar. We usually use wooden botons.
Jokes aside great episode Geography now!
Have you never heard of the legend 'Levye'?
@@talhabasibuyuk I also carry a big stick that I call Haydar in my car 😂 but I would never carry a crowbar because my aim is not to kill someone.
Remember Opet advertisements with Cem yilmaz, even there, the car AI offered the protagonist a crowbar for an obnoxious driver.
Also, I have a ratcheting wrench, because where I live, batons or crowbars are illegal, so I use the excuse as "it's just a tool" :D

Especially in food and in superstitions. Our governments may not get along pretty well ,but there is so much more we have in common that unite us. I have only visited the west part of the country due to its proximity to us , but i would like to explore more in the eastern part. Love from Greece!
😊thanks
Thanks neighbor, I visited Athens a few years ago and I also loved it. We have a lot of foods in common because we have centruis of shared history.
Κάνενα κοινό δεν εχουμε! Αν εννοεις κοινο τον καφε και το μπακλαβα, σιγά τα ωα!
Αξιοθρηνητες πεσιμιστικες αποψεις. Αλιμονο να ειχαμε κοινα μ’ αυτούς. Ουτε τρομοκράτες ειμαστε ουτε φανατισμένοι κατα του μοντερνου πολιτισμού και στα σημεία ΜΟΝΟ ΥΠΕΡΕΧΟΥΜΕ!
Κοινά εχουμε με τους ιταλους με τους ισπανους δεν θα ανφερω τους Κυπριους και ακομα ακομα με τους Ισραηλίτες!
Πιστευα και εγω παλια αυτη την ίδια, σχωρα με, ΜΛΚΙΑ αλλά επειδή προέρχομαι απο ακριτικό μερος και εχω ταξιδεψει αρκετες φορες στην Τουρκία καθως απεχει 40 λεπτα (στη δικη τους ας πουμε Μυκονο, ο θεος να τη κανει) ακόμη και εκεί που υποτιθεται οτι ειναι πιο δυτικοί τα ιδια σσκκατα βλεπεις… αν εχεις παει στην Κωνσταντινουπολη εκεί είναι αλλο θέμα.
Αυτοί εχουν καλλιεργημένο μισος μεσα τους.. τους το ΕΧΟΥΝ ΟΝΤΩΣ καλλιεργήσει… η μόνη μας στάση αν θελουμε να κανουμε μια αλλαγή στο μελλον μεταξύ μας, ειναι να αναφερουμε τον ελαφαντα στο δωματιο!
Αρκετα με την υποκρισία των Τούρκων …
Μη κρινεις υποκειμενική την αποψη μου ειμαι ακριτας και ξερω τι κανουν στους ψαράδες συμπατριώτες μου (συν εχω παει και εγω απεναντι και εχω προσωπικη αποψη)
your right there how can we fight when our food and culture is alot a like. hey neighbour lets drink some raki/ouzo and smash some plates
Agreed, it's a shame that our governments and extremists make us look like we all hate each other, but I feel the majority of Greeks and Turks can get along very well. Selanik'ten merhaba! 🇬🇷❤️🇹🇷
Finally, the Turkey video I've been waiting for a long time has arrived. 🇹🇷❤️
🇺🇸♥️🇹🇷
Excelente timing Barbs, I'm going to Istanbul this Wednesday and I was looking forward to this episode! Really excited to visit this amazing place.
Lots of greetings from Brazil!
Never been to Turkey, don't have Turkish ancestry or Turkish friends, however Turkey is my favorite country in the world. I wish I could visit it some day.
Thanks
Past lives reflection:)

Hangi ülkedensin
I love Turkiye and Oghuz history in general. Oghuz cultures are a fascinating mix of Turkic blood and culture mix with pre Turkic peoples. The fusions created diverse art, architecture and cuisine, a influence undertone of neighboring cultures, and a massive achievement in military history adaptability.
Even the Oghuz Turks in the Caucasus were popular recruits for Soviet army do to military cultural achievements. So they are strong.
Turkiye is a extremely important member of NATO since 9/11
Oghur Turkic history is more interesting to me as they are almost exinct with only Chuvash language left and they have language connection to the Hunnic and Bulgar turkic languages while Oghuz is closer to the Kipchak branches. Most of the Turks in the Middle East are Oghuz save for the Turkmens who live in central asia.
@@teovu5557 the Oghuz have become they're own race of Turk in a way. All that Middle-Eastern and sometimes Balkanic admixture mix with half they're Turkic dna hypridizing half of they're ancestry and culture with non Turkic races of various groups.
So Oghuz are very unique
Might want to look up the differece between Oghuz Turks and Oghur Turks.
The Oghur is an almost extinct from of Turkic while Oghuz is the most common type of Turkic. Oghur is so interesting because its the type of Turkic language spoken by the Huns,Khazars and Bulgars and were the first Turks in Eastern Europe. It is also heavly infleunced by Scythian/Sarmatian languages and Ugric lanaguges
🧑🏽🦱 so turkic look 🤣
@@_mountain.man12 I'm not Turkic
Both my Grandparents on my father's side were from Turkey, sadly they were exiled during the exchange. But they had no hard feelings as they were very young when it happened. They often would visit Turkey and my Yiayia was fluent. They hated the British more because of the Civil war after ww2 and the junta.
I was born and raised in North London. Over here Cypriots and Turks get on like family and you'll often find each side has best friends/girlfriends/boyfriends from the other side. Turkish people are my favourite human beings on the planet. They have always been good to me, helpful, friendly, loving and I would d-ie for them lol.
Love you brother .
Love from istanbul.❤️
Almostly i cried, thanks for nice your thought my friend. Depends on many politic argumeents we're still friend and share many common stuffs with each other. Loves and big hugs to you! ❤
1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
2. God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
5. Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.
6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
58. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63. But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason?
66. Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know.
67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists.
68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers.
69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it.
70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness?
71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth?
72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.”
73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing.
74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it.
76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious.
77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment.
78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.
79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.”
80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted?
81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.”
82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful.
83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned?
84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.”
85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people.
87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind.
88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved.
89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful.
90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost.
91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors.
111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.”
Read The Quran.
“I am to you a clear warner.”
“That you shall worship none but God. I fear for you the agony of a painful Day.”
@@abdulali8738 Dude stop
As for Turkish music, I want to note the metal scene. They specialize in brutal death metal and black metal. I don't know many bands to recommend since it's very general, you can just look it up word by word on TH-cam and you'll find at least something not necessarily above average but good, however, if you wanna check them out, try Sarinvomit.
Spreading love through blast beats lol
Pentagram also known as Mezarkabul is the pioneer band on the heavy metal genre in Turkey. They have been around for over 30 years and have many awesome albums&songs.I know some of more contemporary bands like Mithra and Murder King makes good metal music too. If you want to discover more, there is a channel called melodeath by countries and there is a section for Turkey in the channel. You would find a lot of good stuff!!
Köpek is IT, Türkiye ok. I have very good friend from 🇹🇷.
Thai here loves Türkiye so much 🇹🇭 🇹🇷
🇹🇷❤️🇹🇭
I started watching Geography Now from the Armenia episode 7 years ago making this my longest subscribed TH-cam channel. As someone with a Turkish background I've been looking forward to this episode for years & I am so happy it finally dropped. I want to thank Barbs & the rest of the Geography Now crew for opening my eyes to this wonderful world we live in, can't wait for the UK (where I live) episode
I have waited for this episode for years and it's finally here, thank you! 🇹🇷
Ege is the best cohost to-date. He really did a great job!

@@abdulali8738 respectfully, no I will not
Regarding the music section by Keith, I was expecting him to talk about rock bands of 2000s like "Mor ve Ötesi" (meaning Purple and Beyond or ultraviolet) and "maNga".
"maNga" represented Turkey at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "We Could Be the Same" and took second place. They won the Best European Act award from MTV Networks Europe in MTV Europe Music Awards 2009.
The interesting note would be that a lot of the founders of those rock groups are graduates from top universities of Istanbul and Ankara.
There are also other rock singers like Teoman, Şebnem Ferah, Emre Aydın that I have listened to.
But the most popular singer from Turkey would be "Tarkan", known as a prince of pop in Turkey.
Thank you, this was a really fun episode! Turkey sure deserved such great treatment. Funny that you managed to go through the music section without mentioning Tarkan but I learned many other new names instead ❤️🇹🇷
Tarkan was huge in the 90s, but the Turkish music landscape changed a lot since then.
I’ve been watching you since I was a kid and always dreamt about the day you make the Turkey episode: alphabet was not in favour of me as you can tell 😅
I was and still am amazed to see you summing up countries without going political and make your point as least misunderstandable as possible. Geography Now is doing a great job and I look forward to see US and UK episodes.
A Turkish fan of yours 🇹🇷❤️
Another fun and informative video! I’ve been following this channel since Albania episode. I’m so happy that i had the chance to participate in Turkey episode.
Thank you!
Greetings from Istanbul 🤍
Sen videoda yemekleri anlatansın demi 😅

The Hungarian word árpa was borrowed from a Turkic language before the times of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries), from Proto-Turkic *arpa.[5][6][4] The Hungarians cohabited for centuries with Turkic people, which accounts for over 10% word roots in modern Hungarian being Turkic. In Hungarian, most pastoral terms are Turkic in origin, and agricultural terms are 50% r-Turkic. Many Hungarian names, and also animal and plant names,[7] are of Turkic origin, and the majority of tribe names were of Turkic origin.[8]Turkic is, along with Uralic, German and Slavic, one of the four languages that have the greatest percentage of word roots in the Hungarian language. However, the Magyars are not a Turkic people, though the Turks made a genetic and linguistic contribution.[9][10]
You are EMPTY ASF 🤡🤣
senin gibi bir islamcının bununla övünme sebebi nedir peki? seküler türkler ve macarlar kardeştir siz araplarla takılmaya devam edin.
Great video on Turkey. Once again delightful to watch.
As an Azerbaijani, I love Turkish people and I thank you for putting Azerbaijan!

25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
58. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63. But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason?
66. Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know.
67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists.
68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers.
69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it.
70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness?
71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth?
72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.”
73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing.
74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it.
76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious.
77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment.
78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.
79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.”
80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted?
81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.”
82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful.
83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned?
84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.”
85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people.
87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind.
88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved.
89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful.
90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost.
91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors.
111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.”
Read The Quran.
@@abdulali8738 This guy may have some problems copy pasting this everywhere :S
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
55. Allah said, “O Jesus, I am terminating your life, and raising you to Me, and clearing you of those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing.
56. As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.
57. Those who insult Allah and His Messenger, Allah has cursed them in this life and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a demeaning punishment.
1. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
1. Say, “He is Allah, the One.
2. Allah, the Absolute.
3. He begets not, nor was He begotten.
4. And there is none comparable to Him.”
87. Allah-there is no god except He. He will gather you to the Day of Resurrection, in which there is no doubt. And who speaks more truly than Allah?
115. Whoever makes a breach with the Messenger, after the guidance has become clear to him, and follows other than the path of the believers, We will direct him in the direction he has chosen, and commit him to Hell-what a terrible destination!
116. Allah will not forgive that partners be associated with Him; but will forgive anything less than that, to whomever He wills. Anyone who ascribes partners to Allah has strayed into far error.
117. They invoke in His stead only females. In fact, they invoke none but a rebellious devil.
118. Allah has cursed him. And he said, “I will take to myself my due share of Your servants.”
119. “And I will mislead them, and I will entice them, and I will prompt them to slit the ears of cattle, and I will prompt them to alter the creation of Allah.” Whoever takes Satan as a lord, instead of Allah, has surely suffered a profound loss.
120. He promises them, and he raises their expectations, but Satan promises them nothing but delusions.
121. These-their place is Hell, and they will find no escape from it.
122. But as for those who believe and do righteous deeds, We will admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. The promise of Allah is true-and who is more truthful in speech than Allah?
156. And for their faithlessness, and their saying against Mary a monstrous slander.
157. And for their saying, “We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.” In fact, they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they did. Indeed, those who differ about him are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, except the following of assumptions. Certainly, they did not kill him.
158. Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself. Allah is Mighty and Wise.
159. There is none from the People of the Scripture but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them.
160. Due to wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We forbade them good things that used to be lawful for them; and for deterring many from Allah’s path.
161. And for their taking usury, although they were forbidden it; and for their consuming people's wealth dishonestly. We have prepared for the faithless among them a painful torment.
162. But those among them firmly rooted in knowledge, and the believers, believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you; and the observers of prayers, and the givers of charity, and the believers in Allah and the Last Day-upon these We will bestow an immense reward.
163. We have inspired you, as We had inspired Noah and the prophets after him. And We inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and Jesus, and Job, and Jonah, and Aaron, and Solomon. And We gave David the Psalms.
164. Some messengers We have already told you about, while some messengers We have not told you about. And Allah spoke to Moses directly.
165. Messengers delivering good news, and bringing warnings; so that people may have no excuse before Allah after the coming of the messengers. Allah is Powerful and Wise.
166. But Allah bears witness to what He revealed to you. He revealed it with His knowledge. And the angels bear witness. Though Allah is a sufficient witness.
167. Those who disbelieve and repel from Allah’s path have gone far astray.
168. Those who disbelieve and transgress; Allah is not about to forgive them, nor will He guide them to any path.
169. Except to the path of Hell, where they will dwell forever. And that is easy for Allah.
170. O people! The Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe-that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to Allah belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. Allah is Omniscient and Wise.
171. O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of Allah, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say, “Three.” Refrain-it is better for you. Allah is only one God. Glory be to Him-that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and Allah is a sufficient Protector.
172. The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of Allah, nor do the favored angels. Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant-He will round them up to Himself altogether.
173. But as for those who believe and do good works, He will pay them their wages in full, and will increase His grace for them. But as for those who disdain and are too proud, He will punish them with an agonizing punishment. And they will find for themselves, apart from Allah, no lord and no savior.
174. O people! A proof has come to you from your Lord, and We sent down to you a clear light.
175. As for those who believe in Allah, and hold fast to Him, He will admit them into mercy and grace from Him, and will guide them to Himself in a straight path.
72. They disbelieve those who say, “Allah is the Messiah the son of Mary.” But the Messiah himself said, “O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates others with Allah, Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his dwelling is the Fire. The wrongdoers have no saviors.”
73. They disbelieve those who say, “Allah is the third of three.” But there is no deity except the One God. If they do not refrain from what they say, a painful torment will befall those among them who disbelieve.
74. Will they not repent to Allah and ask His forgiveness? Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
75. The Messiah son of Mary was only a messenger, before whom other Messengers had passed away, and his mother was a woman of truth. They both used to eat food. Note how We make clear the revelations to them; then note how deluded they are.
76. Say, “Do you worship, besides Allah, what has no power to harm or benefit you?” But Allah: He is the Hearer, the Knower.
77. Say, “O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion beyond the truth; and do not follow the opinions of people who went astray before, and misled many, and themselves strayed off the balanced way.”
78. Cursed were those who disbelieved from among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and Jesus son of Mary. That is because they rebelled and used to transgress.
79. They used not to prevent one another from the wrongs they used to commit. Evil is what they used to do.
80. You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve. Terrible is what their souls prompts them to do. The wrath of Allah fell upon them, and in the torment they will remain.
81. Had they believed in Allah and the Prophet, and in what was revealed to him, they would not have befriended them. But many of them are immoral.

1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
2. God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
5. Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.
6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.

I’m learning Turkish as my 4th language, because I wanna travel around Türkiye, Central Asia, and other Mediterranean countries in North Africa and Middle East that have Turkish enclaves. I also plan on retiring there in the future (also considering Thailand). Greetings to Türkiye from a British-Filipino American, who’s Turkish by heart!
Greetings from Mediterranean Turkish city Antalya mate!
What are your previous 3 languages if I may ask?
@@kasadam85 English, Spanish and Tagalog

Turkey is one of the best retirment places on earth. Especially western coast more to the south like Mugla is just the best place. It’s like a heaven and it’s so cheap when you know Turkish and you live as a local. (Cheap in € or $ £)
I am Turkish and I remember discovering this channel when I just started going to high school, and I thought "at this pace, *this video* will be out after I graduate from university", it seemed so distant. I graduated from university 2 months ago and here we are
I was waiting this episode for years and finally it's here. You did a great job guys. Thank you for explaining my home country 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
I'm from Zimbabwe and still waiting 😛
@@ncubesays oh boy 😱
Respect from Poland. Respect man for all your job in this series ! Bro this knowledge its amazing.
As a vegetarian, while traveling to Istanbul, I always heared "this is not a good country for vegetarians"...WROOONG! you guys have amazing vegetarian food and apparenlty have no idea
You can try Aegan and Black Sea Cuisine :)
This is true. It's a massive misconception. Even in Kurdish majority cities there are a massive amount of vegetarian food
Yess this was something I mentioned during the meeting in Istanbul. In the Mediterranean side especially, we are barely eating any red meat. We have great vegetarian food here but Kebab is the most famous one and gets the most attention ofc.
I always vouch for Turkish vegetarian cuisine you can totally enjoy delicious food without touching meat once. However, when it comes to vegan food it’s probably better to look towards persian/arabic cuisine as we LOVE to put yogurt and butter or eggs everywhere
There was a Viking commander that came to Constantinople during Byzantine times that was shocked by the diverse plant and animal life.
As a person from İzmir, our main cuisine is vegetables(Cretan heritage i think). There are so many plants we eat that high portion of them aren't even domesticated. If you are in the countryside, you just go to the forest or hills and gather some then cook it with olive oil and eat it for breakfast.
I sometimes dream opening a sophisticated Ot(a general name for leafy vegetables but literal translation is grass) Restaurant for vegans or Turks in Europe.
Thank you for this great episode. Ege is a fabulous addition (he is a natural at presentation) and having Turks in the video makes this even more authentic. Thanks to all.
Been waiting for this. My Sephardic ancestors on my late paternal grandmother’s side lived in Turkey prior to 1912. Need to visit one day.

@@gorcin7075 History is boring? A bunch of drunk fatasses didn’t like taxes and decided to win a war against the most powerful country in the world. Sounds pretty interesting to me
I discovered your channel like 6-7 years ago and since then i would check it occasionally to see if it came to turkey yet. After 7 years its here. Kinda emotional
There's also the Baklava in the desserts section! That being ignored made me uncomfortable lol...
Jokes aside, as a Turkish-Canadian I really liked this episode, I mean I was waiting for this for almost a year!
Even though there are controversial topics related to Turkey, I honestly think that the food, the culture and the nature of Turkey is great. This was a pretty good episode!👍🇹🇷🇹🇷
Been waiting for this episode my entire life ❤️🇹🇷🇦🇿
We have many Turks in Germany and especially the food culture has left so many traces in today's cuisine, I love it!
I have a special connection to the Turkish people:
I grew up in a small village and there was only one Turkish/Kurdish family there in the early 1990s and I went to class 1-4 with one of the kids. First he spoke almost no German, he was teased because he barely spoke German and I took his side and we became friends soon. When his family heard that my father was raising me alone after his divorce, the whole family never took their eyes off me. The disadvantage was that when we got into some trouble, both families noticed it right away. 😂When I had surgery and came out of the hospital, the whole family was at the doorstep and we celebrated my recovery, the whole living room full of people. If I even passed within sight of their house on my bike, I was immediately invited in to eat or drink tea and always left the house with a bag full of homemade pita bread or other delicacies, my father was always crazy about it. They moved to another city, as we got older the contact broke off. A few weeks ago I had to think about it, because somehow this family was a part of my childhood and although I went through a very difficult time from a family point of view, I always felt safe there and was treated as sweetly as if I were their own child.
My father is a referee in soccer and three weeks ago a turkish soccer player came up to him and told my father that he was the turkish boy from my childhood. He told him my father should greet me warmly from his whole family and he would hope that I and our family would be okay. My father called me immediately after the game and I have rarely been so happy about a greeting.
What I find very unfortunate (and I think this will be a very controversial topic as well) is that the German population and Turkish migrants live in the same country, but often in parallel worlds. Many descendants of Turkish immigrants even have German passports or dual citizenship. And the fact that there is partly a parallel society is by no means only the fault of the Turkish migrants - but that is how it is often presented, unfortunately. Many Germans like to eat Turkish food or buy from Turkish merchants, but know nothing of the people themselves. Yes, the cultures are different, but we can get to know each other and learn more from each other and grow as a society.
Last night at 11pm NY time I watched this video, woke up this morning to news of the earthquake 🙏🏽 praying for all those in Turkiye and Syria
