      I think you also mistook burqa with niqab. Burqa is the cloth that covers 100% of your body including your eyes and its the cloth that women in afghanistan wear. I've never seen even 1 person wearing burqa in turkey. I think what you meant is niqab: aka the black cloth that covers big part of your body except eyes. It's very rare in Turkey again but yes,there are some women wearing that

    Love this video. When I said I was learning Turkish and planning in visiting Turkey..... tons of attitude and misperceptions from people. I am the type of person who likes to learn so I started looking at the culture, food, geography etc.
    As far as Turkey being an Arabic country, I know it's not, but people I have talked to keep asking why I want to go to a middle eastern country where women are oppressed. UGH!
    I correct them but they don't care. Many Americans unless they travel or research things are just ignorant about other places.
    I'm sharing this because it echos what I've been telling them.

      I experienced a lot of the same misconceptions as an American planning to visit Turkey. Especially from older men. The people who were most excited for me to visit Turkey were my Croatian-American community, but most of us have at least traveled to Croatia before. Discussing world travel with people who have never left our country or have maybe only left on a cruise ship is super annoying.

      @@sheilahmiller507 Hey Sheilah, I want you to know that 90% of these prejudices are wrong. The only truth is that politics should not be discussed outside.And the TH-camr friend in this video said something wrong. It is not true that 98% of our country's population is Muslim.
      According to a study in 2020, 89% of Turkey's population is Muslim. But even this ratio is not correct. There are too many irreligious people in our country. The number of people who are atheists, deists, agnostics, Christians and shamans is not small. But people here usually do not say they are irreligious. That's why it seems as if there are many Muslims in our country.
      If you visit our country, make sure it will be safe. I live in istanbul. Istanbul is one of the largest metropolises in Turkey and the world. If you visit our country, I definitely recommend you to visit Istanbul. Then visit these cities of Antalya, Eskişehir, İzmir, Mardin. If you come to Istanbul, I would like to meet you and have a coffee. 😄

    My experience in Turkey is that maybe people don't always speak 100% grammatically correct English, but (maybe because of the many different sounds in Turkish) their accent is usually 100 times better (and so easier to understand) than most Europeans who try to speak English (especially from the Latin and Slavic countries).

Furthermore in Kuzguncuk which is a district in Üsküdar Town you can see a mosque, a church and a sinogogue side by side. You can hear no Muslim call to prayer in any western country if you are outside the mosque. But you can hear church bells as well as ezan (Muslim call to prayer) in Turkey. Everybody is free to perform his/her own belief. Turkey has many wonders to find out. Never mind the myths, come and see for yourself

Turkey is a beautiful country, the food is FANTASTIC, the people i interacted with were lovely, and surprised that i could say anything in turkish (although my grammar was DEFİNİTELY not perfect) and i loved being there. I would recommend it as a vacation destination to any and everyone - although taking a bit of interest in the language and culture made it 100% better for me. People would say in English “welcome” and i would stubbornly respond “HOŞ BULDUM” 😆

    Resat, an idea to clear people´s confusion with Turks and Arabs: You could make a short video about the origins of Turks and Turkic languages. I guess most people don´t know that they originated in the Altai region and that most of your linguistic (and ethnic) relatives live in Central-Asia. Such information would also add a lot to your channel and to people´s knowledge, I think. I personally am always interested in the history and the background of cultures.

    Agree with most of these. Some comments
    1. The ramadan thing: Most of the population is Muslim and observe ramadan, so as a foreigner it would be good to be respectful of that if you do find yourself in Turkey in the month. Not saying you should starve in case you offend someone, just not eat publicly in areas where you dont see people eating around you, and choose more touristy areas to do so, or privately in your rooms.
    2. Regarding polygamy legally it may not be allowed but the incidence has increased with the influx of refugees. Lots of refugee women become additional wives to turkish men in marriages not officiated by law but in mosques. In most cases this is exploitative of vulnerable women who dont have anyone to support them and authorities kinda look the other way and let it go on. Its a very specific issue in countries hosting refugees or illegal migrants.
    3. English proficiency is good in touristy areas so you will be fine visiting as a tourist, but if planning to migrate and live in Turkey then learning the language would be needed since you would be dealing with daily life situations in residential areas.
    4. Differentiating yourself from Arabs is not being hateful to Arabs its just being factual. Like An Italian wouldnt want to called French just because they are white, their ethnicities and historical origins are different.
    Thanks for the video!!

      Anyhow, Arabs did have an important role in Spanish history. In Italy, not that much. They ruled Sicily for about a century, then the Normans chased them away in the 11th century, that’s about all. Basically Southern Italy is more like Romanized Greece, while Northern Italy is more like Romanized Celts/Gauls or Etruscans.

    Hi Reşat, I came across your channel and this video which I believe is interesting. Just to clarify a misconception about Egypt in your video as you referred to Egypt as an example when you were talking about the “camels misconception” stating that Turkey is not like you’re in Egypt where you can find camels everywhere which a common and wrong misconception about Egypt. Actually there are no camels in Egypt and you will never find camels while walking in the streets. You can see only see camels in touristic areas and maybe only in the Pyramids where you can ride a camel for a trip. Just clarifying a misconception that a lot of people have about Egypt. Also, another comment which I believe is irrelevant to Egypt on the misconception that women are forced to wear hijab in Arab countries and do not have any rights which is totally not true. Women are not forced to wear hijab and have rights similar to those given to men (except for common discrimination that you talked about in your video). I am not speaking in the name of Arabs or defending any point of view as I am Egyptian and we, Egyptians, do not consider ourselves Arabs although a lot of people believes so for political reasons…etc. just clarifying.

I also spoke Spanish with a Sefardi (🤮) , Italian with a Kurdish vendor. He spoke 7 languages. I remember muh Murican friends mocked "Turkey ", being oblivious of how steeped in civilization Anatolia is. Istanbul is the gateway between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. An expanse of civilizations from Lisbon, to Barcelona, to Roma,Athens to the Caucasus and Iran, which includes the Caspian Sea. I just loved it. Reshat. Hablemos en español hombre.

Bulunduğumuz vagando 20 kadar sarhoş genç vagonu süslemiş içip eğleniyorlardı. Sanki bir düğün için gelmişlerdi ve dönüyorlardı. Bu kadar sarhoş genç hep bir ağızdan elton jhon dinliyor ve bağırarak eşlik ediyorlardı. Alman gençler müzik elton jhon. Bizim gençlerin bir düğünden sonra bağıra çağıra elton jhon söylemesini hayal edemedim 😂😂😂 Yani bizim acayip kuvvetli bir kültürümüz ve kendi müziğimiz var hem de türküden sanat müziğine arabeksten türkçe rock' a. Hangi ruh halindeysek o hale göre dinleyecek ve söyleyecek şarkılarımız var 😊. Türk kültürü ve müziği hakkında bir video iyi fikir olabilir. Başarılarının devamını dilerim.
