Where you say "turkish" replace with "Balkan"...

Baracuda dear, please don't get paranoid, I'm not trying to steal your heritage. But this kind of architecture originated in the Balkan region during the period of Ottoman domination and is commonly found in all countries of the region. It's not "Turkish"!

Im not getting paranoid, just look on the internet like I said and you'll see its not that difficult..
It isnt really logical to say its 'balkan' at all, unless now you're claiming that central asia was balkanian, then I've no comments what so ever.

Yiannis, if something is derived, founhd, discovered, expanded under Turkish rule by Turkish influence, that's Turkish. This architecture style have been Turkish since 800 years even before our expansion to Balkans and now you come and claim the opposite. Com'on...

800 years ago you say. So where did it originated exactly, who developed it? I don't suppose in the steppes? Or is it Ottoman (please don't use Turkish for that period of time) same as the Ottoman-style mosques which are exact copies of Orthodox byzantine churches?
Architecture is my hobby so I don't need to "search the internet". I have books to read instead.
Let me repeat, this style flourished in the Balkans and in the coast of Asia Minor (in a much lesser degree). If you want to call it Ottoman, fine by me, in the sense that it was developed in the area dominated at the time by the Ottoman empire.

You dont seem to know much for a person who's hobby is architecture, ... it isnt even worth the argument...
Ottoman style = copies of Ortodox Byzantine churches, thats a very big joke... maybe you don't even recognise who actually restored those structures adding to them in that period.. and perhaps you don't know at all about any of the turkic architectures up to that date also...let alone ottoman style architecture, maybe neither the persians, nor the arabs didnt exist..nor any islamic or pre-islamic architecht.. hail to the all inventing greeks!! sorry balkans !!

Ok, thanks for evaluating my knowledge based on your ignorance. So please show us "Turkic architecture up to that date". Btw, what date do you reffer to? Before Agia Sophia?
Persians, Arabs? I'm not talking about them, so why do you put in my mouth things I never said?
Persian architecture is unique and has influenced Ottoman a lot as well.

Yes it was maintained by Turks throughout those years. But its core architecture is Orthodox. Today's Ottoman mosques are modelled after the Hagia Sophia, which is also the model for Orthodox churches! They are very similar to each other with differences that have developed as the two cultures grew differently since the fall of Constantinople.
Lets compare;
Orthodox;
Turkish mosque;

a little note, outside appearances of buildings can be fooling, so take a look at the interior.. then you'll see the difference

Just look to numbers of monasteries in each country, and I think will
be clear where are the most beautiful orthodox monasteries in the
world.

And look to the pictures

BS, Albania has more monestaries then those two rotting ones in Voskopoje...
Anyway to Baracuda. The insides are different because the religions and how they are praticed are different. We are not talkign about exterior though.

nope thats not what I meant, most churches are supported via pillars internally, where as the mosques you portray as being the same dont have any pillars inside to do the supporting...
