I think you were being too kind for the first point. When I first moved to Turkey in 2002 from America, I blew my nose strongly in a small börek shop. Everybody stopped eating ("I'm full") and got up and left the shop. I was alone with my friend Rafet. "You understand now that's disgusting for us, right?" I surely did. He told me to take it to the restroom if I had to blow my nose again. One thing I would add, "Don't piss off a minibus driver." You may end up meeting Haydar!
@@btsa6391 It's actually a male Turkish name. But, most of the bus drivers name their baseball bats as "Haydar". So, you can also think it as a generic baseball bat name.
Don't know why, but I'm just obsessed with everything related to Turkey. Their language is so unique, the people are so beautiful and the place is such a heaven. Wish to visit one day!
@@macx1x1 heyy we're not racist! There can be racists in every country. Not all of us are racist. You can't judge everyone like that. you are the real racist by not liking the Turks. Also, this nature is the nature of all of us. How can you say such a thing when the trees are burning? unscrupulous! And remember I love India even though there are bad people like you.
@@bahsen39 I am sorry to disappoint you. I do not like to generalize, but this is my experience thus far. I have been yelled at and given dirty looks when knowing I am Arab. It is soo heartbreaking. If you knew the time I spent planning for this trip or learning turkish or watching turkish shows bc I was so fascinated by their culture, it is disappointing to be treated this way. I do hope I change my viewpoint as I am a very open person and love all cultures and races and know good and bad in every race. I still have one month left in Turkey I am Hoping to see friendlier faces:) hoping my experience was not the full story.
I’m Norwegian by blood, but Turkish by heart. I have always wanted to visit the country ever since I was a kid. My mother also has friends in Ankara. Since it’s a new year, I am going to devote it to learning Turkish. So when I visit Ankara, I am going to surprise both my mom and her friends by speaking really good Turkish. I cannot wait to see how confused they are gonna look when they ask me for things in English, and I respond in Turkish. Cheers. 🇳🇴🤝🇹🇷
American here. I had the pleasure of visiting Turkey many years ago. Had a wonderful trip traveling throughout the country. Wonderful food and even more wonderful people. Amazing history and culture with some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met.
I am American too and spent a month in Istanbul and Cappadocia.I loved every minute of my stay. I was able to stay in a friend’s apartment while he and his wife went home. The apartment overlooked the Bosporus and the Golden Horn. I never tired of watching the ships pass by and the view of the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Galata Tower, etc. The food was also fabulous and the people were very friendly. I would go back in a heartbeat.
I understand that Turkish people don’t like to be confused with Arabs, just like Polish people don’t like to be called Russians. It’s not because Poles have something against Russians but because Poland is an independent country and people in Poland speak Polish.
Well... I'm here to burst that bubble. It's not the same.. not even close! Because Polish people are just not on the same level, not at all! Poles have every right given their ancient history to be mad in the face of such confusion even with a country and people with the same quality of antique civilization. Turks on the other hand... I don't know... Meh, let's just call a day..
Paula Paula, Russians and Poles live in similar places, but Turks and Arabs do not live in the same place, so we have different cultures with Arabs. We believe in the same religion as the Arabs, but we are different. like cultures. For example, women are not valued much in Arabs, but in Turkish culture, such as prehistoric and republican days, Turkish women are equal to Turkish men. The Arabs betrayed the Turks in the second world war. Turkish people do not like this. “Those who know Turkish culture as Arab culture they make wrong and Those who know The Islam culure as arabıc culture they make wrong to” Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu has got adage like this. As a 14 years old a turkish teen,I hope you will understand. if ı rude for my englısh ı m sorry.
I am Greek and I love baklava, I don't know the real history of baklava but it seems more like a Turkish dessert to be honest. The important thing is to enjoy it people 😅❤
Evet fakat bu bir pazarlama meselesinden başka birşey değil. Yunanistan’da çok güzel yerel yoğurtları var. Hem inek hem de koyun yoğurtları her yerde bulunur ve kaliteleri çok yüksek. 1982 yılında Yunanistan’ın ilk büyük ticari yoğurt markası olan FAGE şirketi kuruldu. Vasat bir süzme yoğurt diyebilirim. (Yunanlıların ilk tepkisi ise, “tadı yoğurt gibi gelmiyor” idi...). Alıştılar fakat hala daha çok aşçılık için kullanıyorlar. Cacık, haydari vs yemekleri yapmak için. Sonra şirket Amerika’ya satış yapmaya başladı. Amerika’daki yoğurt durumu daha da vahim olduğu için çok beğenildi...ve şimdi Amerikalılar için süzme yoğurt, “Greek yoğurt” oluyor. Birkaç yıl sonra Chobani açıldı, sahibi Türk fakat “Greek yoğurt” işi artık işten geçmiş olduğu için o da “Greek Yogurt” olarak tanıttı pazara.

The thing I loved most about turkey was how the people treat street animals. They are given so much love care and respect and that’s how I fell in love with the country- besides the food and really friendly people😁
My friend and I will be there in about three weeks! I’m so excited but I was nervous initially. Would you mind if I contacted you through IG to ask about your experience?? (I’m a black woman also ☺️)

Earlier in 2022, I spent 40 days in Turkey. There’s only one thing that I really hated about Turkey: LEAVING!! 😢😭 After visiting over 40 countries, I found that Turkey was by far, and very far, my favorite! The kindest, most respectful and devout people I have ever seen, rich in history and gastronomy. Seni özledim Türkiye, seni seviyorum 🇹🇷 Yakında geri geleceğim 🇹🇷❤️
@Berkay Arzt currently, I am visiting El Salvador for a few weeks. My permanent place of residence is Los Angeles California. I am returning to Turkey in March for 2 more months of pure heaven.
I don't know where they showed you as Turkey, but if you love it that much, please come and change places with me. Turkey is HELL. Stupid religious people question all non-Muslims but watch women when it suits them. Hundreds of people are harassed or raped every day. The news is full of femicides. The administration is building a palace with the taxes it collects from the people! How can you call such a damn country beautiful?
I am Bosnian and have lived in Sweden for almost 30 years. Just as every house has its own rules, every country has its own rules. It's nice to know and this video was done with good intentions. These 10 rules are very familiar to me because I have been spending my summers in Turkey for 15 years and my culture and tradition are very close to Turkey. I really can't believe that some people don't respect that or that, God forbid, they argue about food and what belongs to whom. First of all, in my opinion, it is uncultured to come to someone's country and house and not respect and still find faults and teach the host what is his and what is not. I think home education doesn't allow me to do that. As for yogurt, baklava, cevap, etc. we also have that in Bosnia and many cultures have almost the same or similar recipes and that's not a problem in my opinion. We also know that people moved, conquered and settled in different areas, so a lot of things were brought by coming to someone's area, and that, in my opinion, is a kind of wealth. So stop arguing about such things and enjoy them and learn something new, different. Not a single day should pass without us learning something. And God created us different precisely to get to know each other and learn from each other. Greetings to all around the world. Respect each other and spread love 🌏🌎🌍🕊❤️🧿🥰
I am in love with Turkey ever since I started watching TV series and reading its history. I would love to visit Turkey if God permits. Your Turkish language is beautiful, I am learning it and teaching my kids. I am from India. I have even started making Borek and menemen for breakfast. Hope to visit in future.
5:53 No matter where you are in the world, don't insult Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, he was one of the greatest leader of the 20th Century. Love from Singapore.
Thanks a million. 🙏❤️😍 Bless you. Your comment made me emotional. We really love Atatürk so much. Us Türks are very lucky to have such a great leader in our history. He was a very clever and modern leader. If it wasn’t for Atatürk, there would not be Turkey, our land would have been shared between some countries that invaded us. We had an independence war thanks to Atatürk’s leadership. Even after we saved our land, Atatürk made very drastic chances to make Turkey 🇹🇷 more modern in every way. We love and respect our Atatürk greatly. Thanks again for your nice comments. 🙏👍❤️
Yeah! He was the one who gave us turkish people our freedom. When it is gonna be 29th of October, we celebrate the day of our Republic’s creation. We still respect him after his death 82-83 years ago
In 2 weeks we'll there, in Antalya. I'm from Hungary, I've been to Türkiye before, but long years ago. I'm looking forward to our holiday. The Turkish - Hungarian relationship is very special. From the ancient, Asian times, later we were bitter enemies in the medieval times, during the Osman occupation. After that many of our great historical person had asylum in Türkiye, Kossuth, Rákóczi, Jozef Bem (a Polish general, who also a Hungarian national hero) and others. As for Atatürk, I read a lot about him. I think he was one of the greatest leaders of all times, many people respects him around the world for reason. Our languages, kind of long forgotten cousins, we have many loanwords from Türkçe, similar grammar etc. I even started to learn Turkish a couple of years ago, I'll see soon if I can use my limited knowledge. Türkiye büyük ve güzel bir ülkedir!
Personally I never see Hungarians as foreigners, you are one children of the Huns we are another children of the Huns. In his testimony "Nutuk" (which includes historical documents and is basically a parliament declaration) Atatürk says that the Ottoman family (osmanogullari) enslaved us for centuries, they are also our enemies (although many people in Turkey like them, Atatürk didn't), the Ottomans also harmed the Turks a lot (they talked a Persian language, no official Turkic language at that time but many nomadic Turkic groups) they really were like a pirate country based on one family's power and they didn't care about the population, even less the nomadic Turks. Fun fact: The first region called "Tourkia" in History was actually Hungary at the time of King Geza, the Byzantine Greeks called him King of Tourkia (because they've met the Gokturks in the centuries before and considered all Asians as Turks, including ancient Hungarians)
"Don't treat stray animals badly" --- I fell in love with the Turkish culture because of this, seeing everyone petting, feeding and taking care of medical problems with the neighborhood cats and dogs in Istanbul. Heaven to me is watching the sunset outside a side-street pub in Istanbul with an Efes and a cat on my lap.
Turkey is a lot bigger than just Istanbul,, you will not see so much love for the street animals in other places, where I lived the British ex-pats were running charities to feed and get vet treatment for all the strays, and its mostly ex-pats that fund them with a few Turkish people thrown in. In surrounding villages you'll see just how loved the stray animals are when kids set fire to kittens, shoot birds out the trees and Turkish neighbours POISON or SHOOT your dog in your own garden.
I visit turkey every year 2 to 3 times , they are very polite people and they are always willing to help us around .... I'm Greek and as for the baklava I can tell you that the Turkish baklava is much much better it melts in your mouth plus the butter they use is amazing....I always eat there and always bring back home ...
In Turkey, the shops make baklava generally with pistachios. But home-made baklava is made with wallnuts(at least my mom does it that way). I like it with walnuts much more. And I heard that Greeks also do it with walnuts. In conclusion, I think I might like Greek baklava more than the traditional(with pistachios) Turkish baklava.

what is amazing is every shop welcomes you when you walk in, you either get called abi or abla which means brother or sister, or teze or amca which means aunty or uncle to older people, respect is a big thing in turkey, very very rare you will see younger sibling call their older sibling by first name either abi or abla, in fact, no young person will address anyone older by just name, eg will be Alyson abla or Tim abi ...
Ofc you are, Hungarians are Turks too! we all come from Asia Hun Empire :D (not all Hungarians not all Turks as well but you know, history is history.)
There are certain characteristics of the Turks are missing in the Pakistanis who are really very divided in their beliefs on simple things like you shouldthis way or that way respecting one another as le of the same country ! They are impressed by the European culture and do not try to use their own ! Some cannot speak the English and others do not try to speak their own ! in Dirilis we notice that no one uses English at all ! I could say a lot more about what is so impressive about them but let’s get on to others ! The subjects for drama and the quality of the productions is so different ! I am watching Filinta and I find the are so well dressed up ! There is an uniformity ! Every person in the street is wearing the red Rumi topi or the Fez cap which was in vogue inmate 19th century !
The reason 1 kuruş is so rare is because the material they use on making 1 kuruş is more valuable, so they collect the 1 kuruş's, melt them, and sell them for profit

I love Turkey so much ! I went there like 7 times and I still go back every year. Turkish people are so nice and I really feel like I prefer Turkish man over man in my country (Slovakia), but country and food and your culture is absolutely fascinating and lovely. Sending so much love from Slovakia, can´t wait to go back to Turkey ❤
As someone who lived in Turkey for 3.5 years I can honestly say, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there nothing but the kindest and respectful people. Love Chi tea, and idk what food people were complaining about because I loved it, especially ekmek (flat bread) omg loved it. Once went to a restaurant and saw trout on the menu, I asked how fresh it was and the waiter said, "come here." I followed him to a tub that had trout swimming around. I said, "That one please."
The only thing I miss about living in Turkey is the weather and a few friends, I don't miss "Yabanchi" tax, I don't miss being ill there and getting treated like sh*t by nurses, even the Oncologist was a bastard! I don't miss being given the wrong CHEMO despite paying 1000's of lira for it. If I hadn't of returned to the UK I would be dead as the wonderfully nice kind Turkish medical experts were giving me Chemo for Testicular cancer instead of breast Cancer, WHY? because it was spare, it had already been paid for by someone else and they were charging me for it too, if I hadn't of returned to the UK and my properly trained Oncologist here hadn't of been able to get the notes (I had to pay £300 to the Turkish so called @snake oil' Oncologist for, and got them translated I would never of known and UK ongologist told me I wouldn't of survived 3 sessions,, I've been told a few times I should write a book about the years I lived there.
But it's not true, I lived there, there are modern Turks who have cats, dogs, birds etc but the vast majority of them think animals in the house is unclean I visited 3 times b4 I decided to try to live there and made loads of Turkish friends, who were totally horrified when they visited me to see I had dogs I brought from the UK with me.......and they refused to visit my home again ,,,, no loss really I found out quite quickly who were the ignorant ones.
@@jennielilley1067 That's not fair. Nothing he said in the video contradicts the Turks love of animals.. Like he said, they feed them in the streets and take care of them. Turks believe animals have the right to exist, unlike here in the "civilized" US where we euthanize millions of innocents cats and dogs for the crime of not being adopted by a human. In Turkey, it's actually a crime to kill or even harm a street animal- even for the Government. There are some old-fashioned Turks that don't believe in pets in their homes. But that mentality is less and less in the younger generation, and even those without pets still often love and feed the street animals. 2 of my Canadian friends are terrified of cats and one hates dogs. Am I going to smear all Canadians for that? I pity you if you travel to many country around the world, as I've never seen a country love and treat their animals with such compassion.
@@jennielilley1067 it's because it's not allowed in Islam to keep dog inside. We believe that angels won't enter in that house as long dog is there! But to have dog outside is no problem. With cats it's different, they're considered as clean and blessed animals, or any other animal, such as birds or fish are ok to be kept inside the house. But this doesn't mean to treat dog bad, just keep them outside. So it's part of the culture and believes.... greetings!
I’ve stayed in TRNC which is predominantly Turkish for 7 years and I’ll be leaving real soon but I absolutely love the people, place and culture. The language (Turkish) is beautiful, the people are great, the dramas (series) are my favorite. I absolutely love it here and I’m sad that I’ll have to live. I will definitely return to visit as much as possible. Also I really love that they love cats and dogs. Not to mention how very very very beautiful the country is.
I know it seems weird but after watching Turkish dramas I want to visit Istanbul once in =my life to experience the beautiful sea in Istanbul and the bosphorus bridge for sure. Love from INDIA.
Classic Greek - Turkish debate: Greek coffee / Turkish coffee! 🙂 One time I almost enter a mosque in Istanbul without taking my shoes off, because we enter churches with shoes and I forgot.. But the guard was very polite, he realised I didn't do it on purpose and politely asked me to take my shoes off... I had a nice time there, Turkish people were very nice!
@Nikos My husband and I went to a trip to the Greek Islands starting from Mykonos, over Santorini to Crete a couple years ago. Totally beautiful locations ! 😍 People were almost without exception helpful and friendly. 🤗 We were amazed by the friendliness and hospitality of the greek people! Some of the elderly even spoke Turkish with cute romaic / greek accents😃 Like anywhere else in the world, if you are (as a tourist) respectful and aware of the local culture and social etiquette they will welcome you with open arms. And that's exactly what those lovely Greek islanders did! 🤗
@@nurnur9608 So happy to hear this! Myconos and Santorini are kind of overpriced for an average Greek but l'm glad to hear you met nice people and had a good time... Simple people have nothing to separate, the politicians sometimes when there is corruption and problems in the country try to turn the attention of the people elsewhere and manipulate them...
Coffee is neither Turkish, nor Greek. It is African. But it is first introduced to the capital of Ottoman Empire by Arabs, then to Europe by Ottomans. That's why it is called Turkish.
I'm a Turkish and I felt very happy when I saw comments about my country. In comments everyone ( mostly ) says that they love Turkiye. By the way, this video is completely true. Especially I hate comparing with Arabs and hearing someone insulting Atatürk. And I want to add one more. Our history isn't only Ottoman Empire. We had lots of states before Ottoman Empire.( Asia Huns, Göktürks, Uygurs, Karahans, Gaznes, Selçuklus... ) This much from me. Take care friends. Love from Turkey to all of youuu.
I feel the same way. I loved seeing comments about almost everyone loving Turkey. And just like you, I utterly hate everyone who insults Atatürk. In addition, in my social science classes, I learned all about those old civilizations and I decided that Anadolu is really opulent about it's history.

At the peak of their population, Latins had around several hundred thousand people located in inner Roma and sparsely around it.

I’ve wanted to visit Turkey since I was in the 6th grade.

I was in Turkey for nearly a year, and loved every moment of it. The most loving people ever, and would do anything for you to make you feel welcomed. I never ate so well in my life. Here in Finland we argue about food, what is Swedish and what is Finnish or Russian. We all put our spin on dishes and make them our own.
I hope you finnish swedish and russian people are not arguing on that Swedish meatballs are from Turkey too))) Their King XII Charles took meatball recipe from Ottomans when he got back to homeland. In Turkey almost everycity and town has different and unique meatballs ))) Hope to see you in Turkey too. Best wishes.
The term "Demirbaş" is used for "fixed assets" or "assets to be kept in long term" e.g. watertaps, shower, closets, even some non-removable cupboards in a household are considered as "demirbash". Chales XII of Sweden chased by Russian army escaped into Turkish territory, Ottomans first welcomed him and reserved a location for him. However he stayed too long and become a nuisance for the Ottoman Empire managers because they got lots of complaints from Turkish people neighboring Charles XII and his men. Due to his long stay he was nicknamed as "Demirbaş Şarl". Eventually he returned to Sweden only to be murdered by his own men. He is the one who brought the recipe of "IKEA" meatballs.
I love the idea about not wearing shoes in the house. It keeps the house clean. I watch Turkish series all the time and just love how clean most of them are.
Everywhere in India it is a normal thing to remove shoes while entering homes and prayer places. Same like Turkey. Only rich people following western culture do not remove shoes in house which is same in Turkey also.

@@pixiedust0017 I don't think so because Ataturk was a secular Person. And Every Turks and Many Indiana like him even our First prime Minister loved him . So I don't think so. Ataturk was different from Mughals.
Im not sure how Turks in general feel about him but Muslims hate him he killed so many Ulamah in the name of secularism.

Atatürk is the reason Im interested in Türkiye. He is probably my favourite historical figure. His thoughts and the way he built and developed the country is astonishing.
I am Greek and I can say that baklava, kataifi, “greek” coffee, kebab, donner are 100% Turkish. I always say to my friends from Thessaloniki (I’m from Athens), that baklava is Turkish. And they say no , and I call them idiots 😂 We have those sweets too in Greece since we’ve been for 400 years under Ottoman occupation, which is logic that food would be mixed in both cultures somehow. Like imam, briam we cook these here in Greece, but are Turkish. Gyros is Greek by the way 😁All these syrupy pastries are from Arabic, Turkish or other middle east or central asian countries, I guess ‘
If you have nationalist Turkish-hater friends, tell them "at least half of Turkey loves you. Redirect your hatred to the other half" :) We don't wanna be judged by ruler Erdogan and his supporters' actions. You're always welcome to the west and south coastal cities in Turkey.
@@kozatas I know man.I assume half of Turkish population like us. Which is a big number. Those governments do their stuff. Politics is business as usual. Simple people like us make the difference.

His own people in jail!. What to expect for a leader like him. Being friendly to neighbors? I guess not, but anyway. Hope to better and more fair elections this time in Turkey. Whenever they come. ☮️
Actualy it doesn't matter what country the foods come from. Our (Turkish) culture and cusine have influenced by Greeks and Arabs. And as a tourism researcher i can easily say that there are serious arguements about some foods' origins like kebab, lahmacun (a kind of pizza with mince). Greetings neighbor Greece from TR.
Absolutely. Turkish and Arabic are very different languages. I can recognise them both easily. I also love how you treat your stray animals. That's wonderful!

@@biltr.3076Actually,Turkish was also written in Arabic script,so Turkish has an ancient relation with Arabic during the Ottoman Empire.But After Atatürk who gave it a western look, it has been written in the latin script since now.Turkish and Arabic are both interesting languages and once they were written in the same way. Not only Turkish is beautiful language ,but Arabic is the most wonderful and the beautiful languages,Both languages have their own position but no language can either be compared with Arabic as it's the language of Holy Quran and the most beautiful voice is only of Holy Quran
Armenia, Turkey, Greece, Arab countries, Iran, the central-asian Stans, Azerbaijan etc.. they all have similarities in the food, but they all do it in their own unique way which makes it their own kitchen. All of these kitchens may use similar preparation styles, yet be very different from each other simply because of the flavour profiles and ingredients used.
Actually the real reason is back then all of these countries were ottoman empire. So we didn't totally separated for a long time and shared same culture. But nowadays we are separated different countries and everyone wants to say it's mine, but in reality it's our common culture
I love how they treat cats and dogs😍 I been to Türkiye 5 years ago While we were going out of a masjid in Alfatih street There were lots of birds on the ground eating seeds that were given by people My kids just spontaneously ran to catch the birds not with the intention to harm them but just childishly 😌 I will never forget the reaction of the people around us They got mad and one guy shouted to my kids in Turkish which I couldn't understand But he was obviously angry that we disturbed the birds while eating I respect that actually and ended shouting to my kids😄

I don't think discussing Turkish politics is a good idea, either - especially by foreigners. We don't live there and don't understand all the details of the government. It's just good manners to not discuss politics.
@@Hhhh22222-w in Switzerland we discuss politics a lot, my turkish boyfriend is sometimes annoyed with the amount of politics we're talking. But I guess it has a lot to do with with the amount of influence we can take on swiss politics. With some motivation and some time at your hand, you can introduce new laws if enough people agree, without being a politician yourself, while in Turkey even politically interested people might be agonized towards the topic. Still my experience is, that if you are well informed, you can even talk politics with Turks because it shows them that you are interested in their history and culture and that is very much appreciated by turkish people.
It's okay not to argue. The vast majority of Turks don't like their leader anyway. but it would be better to avoid talking about it.because it is here. There are many ignorant people who love political parties like fanatics.
I think it is ok to discuss about politics and religion...if you can do it in a normal issue focussed way. If you are too emotional, a religious radical or nationalist, racist, then it's better not to discuss, because you can't discuss.
I haven’t been to Turkey yet. Thanks 🙏🏾 for the cultural info ℹ️ I’ve met many Turkish people in London. Every restaurant and cafe experience with Turkish establishments have been excellent 👌. They are always so welcoming. Going to your country is what I look forward to.
Turkey is definitely moving away from civilization with each passing day. everyone is aggressive, culture is weak, art is weak, a poorly brought up generation, Erdogan's political-Islamic policies etc. I live in Antalya and I can say that I am really bored of this country.
Origin of the food: Dolma: Greeks think it's Dolmades but dolma comes from "dol-" which means to be filled. Dolma means something filled. Döner: It comes from "dön-" which means to turn. Döner means something turning. Yoğurt: It's not greek, it comes from "yoğur-" which means to knead. Yoğurt means something kneaded. TOGETHER WE CAN STOP THE CULTURE ROBBERY. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD.
@@yasindegirmenci9544 Yoğurt "yoğun" kelimesinden gelir. Yoğun çorba gibi mesela. Burada kastedilen "yoğunlaşmış süttür". Yoğurmak kelimesi de yoğun'dan geliyor. Bir çok malzemeyi birbirine yoğunlaştırmak/bir yapmak anlamında. yoğun, yoğunlaşmak, yoğurt, yoğurmak...
CULTURE ROBBERY? LOOOL!! Turks ruled Greece for over 400 years, THEY brought dolma, baklava, kebab, moussaka etc in Greek culture, if you are offended by that blame your ancestors lol. And the word yogurt comes from the ancient greek "ygeiarto" Turks and Arabs adopted it and changed it. After all, Europeans wouldn't know yogurt if it didn't even exist as a greek word.
As a person from Turkey all are true mostly the animal one,mostly everyone treats stray animals kindly but you can see lots of people play with them and feed them. It’s really sweet how they treat them like it’s their own pet in Turkey 🇹🇷

I disagree. Even if you speak the most beautiful language on earth learning is always a Good thing. At least in some offices or places like banks it would be way more helpful to have people who can speak English. Sadly a lot of non-turkish speaker who live in turkey struggle with administrative things/ offical things because of that . So I don't see why it is something to encourage.

6:41 In some cities, tap water is drinkable. I have been drinking tap water since I was born, and tea made of that water is delicious. So, try to learn whether tap water is drinkable in your city before ordering bottles of water :)
In Eskisehir, tap water is extremely chlorinated. It breakes dishwashers/washing machines and even your skin and hair get really bad after a while for using it while taking a shower. So we drink bottled water and also make tea with bottled water (Kalabak - a local brand) most of the time. It depends on your location, so it's safe to advise on not drinking tap water.
When u said ' Dont treat stray animals badly' my respect for Turkey increased tremendously. ❤️❤️❤️ Also, most of the things are relatable to us in India. But blowing nose is common 😁😁😁
Or middle eastern... We are turkic, our ancestors lived in Siberia and Central Asia, just because today we live in here, it doesnt make us middle eastern..
Yeah definitely. The fact that a small part of our lands in the east is in the Middle East doesn't make us middle eastern. Our land has a name as it has been called for centuries, Anatolia. We are Anatolian people, Anatolian Turks whose roots go back to Siberia.
@@birdost5781 but our culture is pretty middle eastern, we've got more similarities as in term of food and culture with middle eastern countries rather than european ones

Went to Turkiye May 2023. Fell in love with this amazing, unique country. Missing Turkiye sooo much. Cant wait to come again. Perhaps when time permits, i could stay for a few mths there .
*Turkiye has everything. Entertainment, nature, rooted history, rich culture, various endemic plant species, rich underground resources, 4 season climate, all kinds of vegetation, big cities, delicious food, east-west spice mix effects, friendly people, hospitality, friendly animals. It has a variety of landscapes suitable for all types of travellers; There are snow covered hills, plateaus, valleys, canyons, fairy chimneys, Kaçkar mountains, crater lakes, ancient places, historical monuments and sparkling beaches. Not to mention corners of paradise such as Istanbul, Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Antalya and Trabzon! Almost the center of the world; It is a transcontinental country that acts as a bridge connecting Asia, Europe and Africa. Turkiye, the cradle of civilization, is the most strategic and richest country in the world in terms of geography. This claim is unbeatable! Turkiye can never be compared with other overrated countries. This country is one world.*
Just saw your comment… I have told people countless times, that Iranian people have NOTHING to do with Arabs 😂 (…and I advice them never to imply anything like that talking to Iranian people 😬) Sometimes it’s just tiring and frustrating to lecture Western Europeans about these things, but saying Persians and Arabs are the same / related is like saying…. Indian and Mexican people are the same, because both people like spicy food 🙄 I adore your culture and would love to visit you country one day 🤗
muslim countries have very similar culture. and you cant really physically tell apart people of middle east. as a turk i confuse many arabs and persians with turks, they just look very similar lol. but yea, language is different, turkey is slightly more western oriented than arabs. but still hybrid of 70 % arab, %30 western culture i would say. we are not all that different after all lol
Treating stray animals in a nice way makes me extreme happy I might need to go there one day because I think we need to love stray animals. This melts my heart. ❤
I feel so similarity between Iranians and Turks like their food, kebabs, coffee, cleanliness of roads and streets, huge love for dogs, cats, marvellous infrastructure, beautiful women and especially their hospitality.🇵🇰❤🇮🇷🇹🇷

I think you were being too kind for the first point. When I first moved to Turkey in 2002 from America, I blew my nose strongly in a small börek shop. Everybody stopped eating ("I'm full") and got up and left the shop. I was alone with my friend Rafet. "You understand now that's disgusting for us, right?" I surely did.

I understand that Turkish people don’t like to be confused with Arabs, just like Polish people don’t like to be called Russians. It’s not because Poles have something against Russians but because Poland is an independent country and people in Poland speak Polish.
Exactly!
Well... I'm here to burst that bubble.
It's not the same.. not even close!
Because Polish people are just not on the same level, not at all!
Poles have every right given their ancient history to be mad in the face of such confusion even with a country and people with the same quality of antique civilization.

@@Baraa.K.Mohammad are u fukin kiddin lol please dont talk
Paula Paula,
Russians and Poles live in similar places, but Turks and Arabs do not live in the same place, so we have different cultures with Arabs. We believe in the same religion as the Arabs, but we are different. like cultures. For example, women are not valued much in Arabs, but in Turkish culture, such as prehistoric and republican days, Turkish women are equal to Turkish men. The Arabs betrayed the Turks in the second world war. Turkish people do not like this. “Those who know Turkish culture as Arab culture they make wrong and Those who know The Islam culure as arabıc culture they make wrong to” Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu has got adage like this. As a 14 years old a turkish teen,I hope you will understand. if ı rude for my englısh ı m sorry.

Evet fakat bu bir pazarlama meselesinden başka birşey değil. Yunanistan’da çok güzel yerel yoğurtları var. Hem inek hem de koyun yoğurtları her yerde bulunur ve kaliteleri çok yüksek. 1982 yılında Yunanistan’ın ilk büyük ticari yoğurt markası olan FAGE şirketi kuruldu. Vasat bir süzme yoğurt diyebilirim. (Yunanlıların ilk tepkisi ise, “tadı yoğurt gibi gelmiyor” idi...). Alıştılar fakat hala daha çok aşçılık için kullanıyorlar. Cacık, haydari vs yemekleri yapmak için. Sonra şirket Amerika’ya satış yapmaya başladı. Amerika’daki yoğurt durumu daha da vahim olduğu için çok beğenildi...ve şimdi Amerikalılar için süzme yoğurt, “Greek yoğurt” oluyor. Birkaç yıl sonra Chobani açıldı, sahibi Türk fakat “Greek yoğurt” işi artık işten geçmiş olduğu için o da “Greek Yogurt” olarak tanıttı pazara.

The administration is building a palace with the taxes it collects from the people! How can you call such a damn country beautiful?
Once my family forced to leave Turkey in 1920, 100 years later, we don’t even want to visit.
I am Bosnian and have lived in Sweden for almost 30 years. Just as every house has its own rules, every country has its own rules. It's nice to know and this video was done with good intentions. These 10 rules are very familiar to me because I have been spending my summers in Turkey for 15 years and my culture and tradition are very close to Turkey. I really can't believe that some people don't respect that or that, God forbid, they argue about food and what belongs to whom. First of all, in my opinion, it is uncultured to come to someone's country and house and not respect and still find faults and teach the host what is his and what is not. I think home education doesn't allow me to do that. As for yogurt, baklava, cevap, etc. we also have that in Bosnia and many cultures have almost the same or similar recipes and that's not a problem in my opinion. We also know that people moved, conquered and settled in different areas, so a lot of things were brought by coming to someone's area, and that, in my opinion, is a kind of wealth. So stop arguing about such things and enjoy them and learn something new, different. Not a single day should pass without us learning something. And God created us different precisely to get to know each other and learn from each other. Greetings to all around the world. Respect each other and spread love 🌏🌎🌍🕊❤️🧿🥰

In 2 weeks we'll there, in Antalya. I'm from Hungary, I've been to Türkiye before, but long years ago. I'm looking forward to our holiday.
The Turkish - Hungarian relationship is very special. From the ancient, Asian times, later we were bitter enemies in the medieval times, during the Osman occupation. After that many of our great historical person had asylum in Türkiye, Kossuth, Rákóczi, Jozef Bem (a Polish general, who also a Hungarian national hero) and others.
As for Atatürk, I read a lot about him. I think he was one of the greatest leaders of all times, many people respects him around the world for reason.
Our languages, kind of long forgotten cousins, we have many loanwords from Türkçe, similar grammar etc.
I even started to learn Turkish a couple of years ago, I'll see soon if I can use my limited knowledge.
Türkiye büyük ve güzel bir ülkedir!
Uralic westerner thinks he is a Turk because of Turanist propaganda:
Personally I never see Hungarians as foreigners, you are one children of the Huns we are another children of the Huns. In his testimony "Nutuk" (which includes historical documents and is basically a parliament declaration) Atatürk says that the Ottoman family (osmanogullari) enslaved us for centuries, they are also our enemies (although many people in Turkey like them, Atatürk didn't), the Ottomans also harmed the Turks a lot (they talked a Persian language, no official Turkic language at that time but many nomadic Turkic groups) they really were like a pirate country based on one family's power and they didn't care about the population, even less the nomadic Turks.
Fun fact: The first region called "Tourkia" in History was actually Hungary at the time of King Geza, the Byzantine Greeks called him King of Tourkia (because they've met the Gokturks in the centuries before and considered all Asians as Turks, including ancient Hungarians)
"Don't treat stray animals badly" --- I fell in love with the Turkish culture because of this, seeing everyone petting, feeding and taking care of medical problems with the neighborhood cats and dogs in Istanbul. Heaven to me is watching the sunset outside a side-street pub in Istanbul with an Efes and a cat on my lap.
Turkey is a lot bigger than just Istanbul,, you will not see so much love for the street animals in other places, where I lived the British ex-pats were running charities to feed and get vet treatment for all the strays, and its mostly ex-pats that fund them with a few Turkish people thrown in. In surrounding villages you'll see just how loved the stray animals are when kids set fire to kittens, shoot birds out the trees and Turkish neighbours POISON or SHOOT your dog in your own garden.

I'm Greek and as for the baklava I can tell you that the Turkish baklava is much much better it melts in your mouth plus the butter they use is amazing....I always eat there and always bring back home ...
In Turkey, the shops make baklava generally with pistachios. But home-made baklava is made with wallnuts(at least my mom does it that way). I like it with walnuts much more. And I heard that Greeks also do it with walnuts. In conclusion, I think I might like Greek baklava more than the traditional(with pistachios) Turkish baklava.

Turkish people are so nice and I really feel like I prefer Turkish man over man in my country (Slovakia), but country and food and your culture is absolutely fascinating and lovely. Sending so much love from Slovakia, can´t wait to go back to Turkey ❤

As someone who lived in Turkey for 3.5 years I can honestly say, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there nothing but the kindest and respectful people. Love Chi tea, and idk what food people were complaining about because I loved it, especially ekmek (flat bread) omg loved it.
Once went to a restaurant and saw trout on the menu, I asked how fresh it was and the waiter said, "come here." I followed him to a tub that had trout swimming around. I said, "That one please."
And he tore off the head of that fish in one go. Delicious.
The only thing I miss about living in Turkey is the weather and a few friends, I don't miss "Yabanchi" tax, I don't miss being ill there and getting treated like sh*t by nurses, even the Oncologist was a bastard! I don't miss being given the wrong CHEMO despite paying 1000's of lira for it. If I hadn't of returned to the UK I would be dead as the wonderfully nice kind Turkish medical experts were giving me Chemo for Testicular cancer instead of breast Cancer, WHY? because it was spare, it had already been paid for by someone else and they were charging me for it too, if I hadn't of returned to the UK and my properly trained Oncologist here hadn't of been able to get the notes (I had to pay £300 to the Turkish so called @snake oil' Oncologist for, and got them translated I would never of known and UK ongologist told me I wouldn't of survived 3 sessions,, I've been told a few times I should write a book about the years I lived there.

I LOVE "don't treat stray animals badly". I wish all countries felt that way. I love Turkey just for that! ❤😍❤
But it's not true, I lived there, there are modern Turks who have cats, dogs, birds etc but the vast majority of them think animals in the house is unclean I visited 3 times b4 I decided to try to live there and made loads of Turkish friends, who were totally horrified when they visited me to see I had dogs I brought from the UK with me.......and they refused to visit my home again ,,,, no loss really I found out quite quickly who were the ignorant ones.
@@jennielilley1067 That's not fair. Nothing he said in the video contradicts the Turks love of animals.. Like he said, they feed them in the streets and take care of them. Turks believe animals have the right to exist, unlike here in the "civilized" US where we euthanize millions of innocents cats and dogs for the crime of not being adopted by a human. In Turkey, it's actually a crime to kill or even harm a street animal- even for the Government. There are some old-fashioned Turks that don't believe in pets in their homes. But that mentality is less and less in the younger generation, and even those without pets still often love and feed the street animals. 2 of my Canadian friends are terrified of cats and one hates dogs. Am I going to smear all Canadians for that? I pity you if you travel to many country around the world, as I've never seen a country love and treat their animals with such compassion.
@@jennielilley1067 Turks love animals and protect them. But they do not feed at home(%70). They leave water and food out.
@@jennielilley1067 it's because it's not allowed in Islam to keep dog inside. We believe that angels won't enter in that house as long dog is there! But to have dog outside is no problem. With cats it's different, they're considered as clean and blessed animals, or any other animal, such as birds or fish are ok to be kept inside the house. But this doesn't mean to treat dog bad, just keep them outside. So it's part of the culture and believes.... greetings!
I’ve stayed in TRNC which is predominantly Turkish for 7 years and I’ll be leaving real soon but I absolutely love the people, place and culture.
The language (Turkish) is beautiful, the people are great, the dramas (series) are my favorite. I absolutely love it here and I’m sad that I’ll have to live.
I will definitely return to visit as much as possible. Also I really love that they love cats and dogs.
Not to mention how very very very beautiful the country is.
Finally, a must see before going to turkey. 😊

Classic Greek - Turkish debate: Greek coffee / Turkish coffee! 🙂 One time I almost enter a mosque in Istanbul without taking my shoes off, because we enter churches with shoes and I forgot.. But the guard was very polite, he realised I didn't do it on purpose and politely asked me to take my shoes off... I had a nice time there, Turkish people were very nice!
@Nikos My husband and I went to a trip to the Greek Islands starting from Mykonos, over Santorini to Crete a couple years ago.
Totally beautiful locations ! 😍
People were almost without exception helpful and friendly. 🤗 We were amazed by the friendliness and hospitality of the greek people!
Some of the elderly even spoke Turkish with cute romaic / greek accents😃
Like anywhere else in the world, if you are (as a tourist) respectful and aware of the local culture and social etiquette they will welcome you with open arms.
And that's exactly what those lovely Greek islanders did! 🤗
@@nurnur9608 So happy to hear this! Myconos and Santorini are kind of overpriced for an average Greek but l'm glad to hear you met nice people and had a good time... Simple people have nothing to separate, the politicians sometimes when there is corruption and problems in the country try to turn the attention of the people elsewhere and manipulate them...
Coffee is neither Turkish, nor Greek. It is African. But it is first introduced to the capital of Ottoman Empire by Arabs, then to Europe by Ottomans. That's why it is called Turkish.
your people are so spoiled, admit it! Turkish hostility is instilled in your veins on your education basis.
We are conflict about coffee or baklava. But this debate just joke.
I'm a Turkish and I felt very happy when I saw comments about my country. In comments everyone ( mostly ) says that they love Turkiye. By the way, this video is completely true. Especially I hate comparing with Arabs and hearing someone insulting Atatürk. And I want to add one more. Our history isn't only Ottoman Empire. We had lots of states before Ottoman Empire.( Asia Huns, Göktürks, Uygurs, Karahans, Gaznes, Selçuklus... ) This much from me. Take care friends. Love from Turkey to all of youuu.
I feel the same way. I loved seeing comments about almost everyone loving Turkey. And just like you, I utterly hate everyone who insults Atatürk. In addition, in my social science classes, I learned all about those old civilizations and I decided that Anadolu is really opulent about it's history.

So would you guys be considered Latino? That’s pretty cool I always wondered about that
i knew you guys were latins but my history teacher once told me that you are slavs lol
At the peak of their population, Latins had around several hundred thousand people located in inner Roma and sparsely around it. Romanian language is closest to original latin language because Republic of Roma had a great impact on the land but that does not make you ethnic latins. It doesn't make spanish, portuguese and definetely not any American people latins. %99 of ethnic latins are mixed with Italic people.

I was in Turkey for nearly a year, and loved every moment of it. The most loving people ever, and would do anything for you to make you feel welcomed. I never ate so well in my life. Here in Finland we argue about food, what is Swedish and what is Finnish or Russian. We all put our spin on dishes and make them our own.
I hope you finnish swedish and russian people are not arguing on that Swedish meatballs are from Turkey too))) Their King XII Charles took meatball recipe from Ottomans when he got back to homeland. In Turkey almost everycity and town has different and unique meatballs )))
Hope to see you in Turkey too.
Best wishes.
I am a Turk living in Sweden and has never heard of that before- Anyway, I'm glad to know you like our country!
wow! interesting. what finnish dishes are probably russian?
The term "Demirbaş" is used for "fixed assets" or "assets to be kept in long term" e.g. watertaps, shower, closets, even some non-removable cupboards in a household are considered as "demirbash". Chales XII of Sweden chased by Russian army escaped into Turkish territory, Ottomans first welcomed him and reserved a location for him. However he stayed too long and become a nuisance for the Ottoman Empire managers because they got lots of complaints from Turkish people neighboring Charles XII and his men. Due to his long stay he was nicknamed as "Demirbaş Şarl". Eventually he returned to Sweden only to be murdered by his own men. He is the one who brought the recipe of "IKEA" meatballs.

I don't think discussing Turkish politics is a good idea, either - especially by foreigners. We don't live there and don't understand all the details of the government. It's just good manners to not discuss politics.

@@Hhhh22222-w in Switzerland we discuss politics a lot, my turkish boyfriend is sometimes annoyed with the amount of politics we're talking. But I guess it has a lot to do with with the amount of influence we can take on swiss politics. With some motivation and some time at your hand, you can introduce new laws if enough people agree, without being a politician yourself, while in Turkey even politically interested people might be agonized towards the topic.
Still my experience is, that if you are well informed, you can even talk politics with Turks because it shows them that you are interested in their history and culture and that is very much appreciated by turkish people.
It's okay not to argue. The vast majority of Turks don't like their leader anyway. but it would be better to avoid talking about it.because it is here. There are many ignorant people who love political parties like fanatics.
I think it is ok to discuss about politics and religion...if you can do it in a normal issue focussed way.
If you are too emotional, a religious radical or nationalist, racist, then it's better not to discuss, because you can't discuss.

Turkish people do,nt speak english... And i like this.... Why should they speak english... Turkish language is so good..
I disagree. Even if you speak the most beautiful language on earth learning is always a Good thing. At least in some offices or places like banks it would be way more helpful to have people who can speak English. Sadly a lot of non-turkish speaker who live in turkey struggle with administrative things/ offical things because of that . So I don't see why it is something to encourage.
um- because I'm more comfortable with english? just because I'm turkish and love my nation doesn't mean I can't speak english
@@ho-ry5uf learning something is a good thing but being obsessed with something is not good..Our Pakistanis are obsessed with English. .If you learn English it will help you in communication..as I am communicating to you..But in my country,where everyone can understand my language ,I don't need to talk in English ! I Agree with you that learning is always a good thing..
@@janshershah5771 I agree 💯 Pakistanis are obsessed with english language they will publicly insult their own people for not understanding english or not properly speaking/writing. I mean if someone spoke a wrong word or sentence you can correct him. Why troll or insult them publicly or on social platforms.
@@janshershah5771 this reminds me of cannoli restaurant owners who made fun of their manager for not speaking english properly
Assalamu Alaikum!
I love turkey and turkish people..
May Allah bless u

Hi
6:41 In some cities, tap water is drinkable. I have been drinking tap water since I was born, and tea made of that water is delicious. So, try to learn whether tap water is drinkable in your city before ordering bottles of water :)
haklısın ben adana da yaşıyorum ve her zaman musluk suyu içiyorum (You are right, I live in Adana. And I always drink tap water)
In Eskisehir, tap water is extremely chlorinated. It breakes dishwashers/washing machines and even your skin and hair get really bad after a while for using it while taking a shower. So we drink bottled water and also make tea with bottled water (Kalabak - a local brand) most of the time. It depends on your location, so it's safe to advise on not drinking tap water.
After seeing the comments I really want to go to Turkey. My dad went 3 times already. Iove from Bangladesh 🇧🇩💞🇹🇷
Are you mad ? Turks don't like you it's Dangerous for you go somewhere more welcoming
Everything you mentioned sounds like good common sense 🙂 Thank you for sharing your culture in such a fun and humble way. God bless!
right. to me it sounded like things you shouldnt do ANYwhere. Not just specific to Turkey.
When u said ' Dont treat stray animals badly' my respect for Turkey increased tremendously. ❤️❤️❤️
Also, most of the things are relatable to us in India. But blowing nose is common 😁😁😁
Namaste Bro!
The thing I hate the most is that they think we're Arabs -.-
Or middle eastern... We are turkic, our ancestors lived in Siberia and Central Asia, just because today we live in here, it doesnt make us middle eastern..
Yeah definitely. The fact that a small part of our lands in the east is in the Middle East doesn't make us middle eastern. Our land has a name as it has been called for centuries, Anatolia. We are Anatolian people, Anatolian Turks whose roots go back to Siberia.
@@birdost5781 but our culture is pretty middle eastern, we've got more similarities as in term of food and culture with middle eastern countries rather than european ones
@@Rana-gm9ji Our culture is Turkic with mediterranean and middle eastern influence. Greeks, Albanians, Bosnians, whole Balkan have many Turkish foods in their cuisine. Then Balkan people are middle eastern too. Yunanların en bilindik yemeği dolma be dolma.
It is the fate of less numerous people. Brazil is one of the biggest countries, but still they are confused with Hispanics, because they are not as many. Warm hugs from an even smaller people (in number, not in heart 🥰) 🇷🇴🤗🇹🇷
Went to Turkiye May 2023. Fell in love with this amazing, unique country. Missing Turkiye sooo much. Cant wait to come again. Perhaps when time permits, i could stay for a few mths there .
Niice! Glad you liked it! 🤗
*Turkiye has everything. Entertainment, nature, rooted history, rich culture, various endemic plant species, rich underground resources, 4 season climate, all kinds of vegetation, big cities, delicious food, east-west spice mix effects, friendly people, hospitality, friendly animals. It has a variety of landscapes suitable for all types of travellers; There are snow covered hills, plateaus, valleys, canyons, fairy chimneys, Kaçkar mountains, crater lakes, ancient places, historical monuments and sparkling beaches. Not to mention corners of paradise such as Istanbul, Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Antalya and Trabzon! Almost the center of the world; It is a transcontinental country that acts as a bridge connecting Asia, Europe and Africa. Turkiye, the cradle of civilization, is the most strategic and richest country in the world in terms of geography. This claim is unbeatable! Turkiye can never be compared with other overrated countries. This country is one world.*
Patriotic lmao
"cradle of civilization" yeah ok lol. Calm down there were no Turks in Anatolia and Turks are not the cradle of civilization.
@@Arshahan She never claimed that they are? She meant the land and the location of the country
As an Turkish i say that she is overdoing some stuff about our Country
@@Miliradian az bile söylemiş neresi abartıki google'ye git bak yaz dunyanın merkezi neresi çıkıyor.
I lived in Türkiye for an year and half, I never felt like I’m in a foreign country, I love Turkey man 💗
thanks a lot.. as an Iranian we have many things in common specially "never say we are arabs" and Im very proud to have such a lovely neighbor.
Just saw your comment… I have told people countless times, that Iranian people have NOTHING to do with Arabs 😂 (…and I advice them never to imply anything like that talking to Iranian people 😬) Sometimes it’s just tiring and frustrating to lecture Western Europeans about these things, but saying Persians and Arabs are the same / related is like saying…. Indian and Mexican people are the same, because both people like spicy food 🙄 I adore your culture and would love to visit you country one day 🤗
Most people don’t know Iranians are Persian in the USA also. I correct every time. No Iranians are not Arabs….
Evet, İran'ınlılar da Arap zannediliyor.
German vs French is a very valid comparison to Turks ve Arabs 👍 HOPE everyone gets this 🙏🏻
I think russia and poland/czechia/baltic countries would be a better comparison as this is much more common to happen
muslim countries have very similar culture. and you cant really physically tell apart people of middle east. as a turk i confuse many arabs and persians with turks, they just look very similar lol. but yea, language is different, turkey is slightly more western oriented than arabs. but still hybrid of 70 % arab, %30 western culture i would say. we are not all that different after all lol
@@sercan272727 Araplar ile alakamız yok. %0 benzerlik.
@@Tekno-Manyak arap arkadaslarim var, cogu musluman millet ayni bokun larcivertidir. bizzat sahidim ne % 0 benzerligi. sen duygusal yaklasmissin
@@sercan272727 Turks and Arabs are like French and Germans totally different
Treating stray animals in a nice way makes me extreme happy I might need to go there one day because I think we need to love stray animals. This melts my heart. ❤
When you get rabies from a scratch from a a stray… you die .. don’t trust unvaccinated animals.
I feel so similarity between Iranians and Turks like their food, kebabs, coffee, cleanliness of roads and streets, huge love for dogs, cats, marvellous infrastructure, beautiful women and especially their hospitality.🇵🇰❤🇮🇷🇹🇷
TÜRKLER İRANI 1000 YIL YÖNETTİ..BİR ŞEYLER BIRAKTI....
Iranians have not much in common with Turks. Iranians are Indo-European people from Iran. Turks are from East Asia.
@@dariusbaluchi4890 Özellikle Türkiyeli Türkler olarak bizler artık o kadar karışmışız ki Avrupa Asya ve Orta Doğu'nun karışımı olmuşuz. Her bir tarafla benzerliklerimiz olup kendimize has bir yapımız da var. Benim gözlemim bu yönde.
Great reminder for us as we prepare to return to Turkiye, the country with the best food on earth and an amazing history. Thanks for sharing!
