The situation is the same anywhere, including Turkey. People loves theirs lands and all theirs ancestors, regardless of the differences of the past. And traditions always survives the struggles.

That what I think anyways.

I agree with you again...

I am proud of Roman achievements  in my country

i think they even still  contribute to my country to an important degree.

Not only by tourism means, but the fact that Turkey is lcoated in Asia minor and civilisation spreaded from here makes me feel better
