What makes you Turks?

What do you think that?

In all forums which I visited and registered so far, I met  many Greeks who attempt to claim that Anatolian Turks are not Turks. ( in accordance with a totally racistic point of view). How do you think we can prove that we are Turks and even if not by blood , by culture, heritage, history and feeling.

Please feedback me!!!! yum yum yum....

WHo are you to make such acusations that these are racist views? Your a new member and you obviopusly havn't seen what the greeks had to say. We never said that Turkey turks are not turks, but are genetically not related to Central asian turks, and more related to other anatolian and balkan people.

No (unless Albanian can be linked succesfully with the prehistoric peoples of the Balcans). Greeks are (genetically speaking) mostly whatever Greeks used to be in prehistoric and proto-historic Greece (Pelasgians?).

But I don't see why you have to make a nationalistic issue of things that happened even before your nations were formed or heard of for the first time.

There's a vicious game being played by many (not all) Greeks and Turks and also members of other nationalities... it could be called systematic disqualification of the other of and also aprioristic national defense... it's just vicious clanism and lacks seriousness, maturity... something that your nations will need in order to overcome the mutual grievances of the past and build a good neighborhood. And also something needed to analyze reality without prejudices and to find truth.

Not your truth but the truth
and come with me to seek it
yours, keep it for you.

Guys, why do we have to discuss on the same topics again and again?

Please mods, I think we have enough of such topics about us and our identity, lets keep on going with them if necessary. I desperately wish you to close this topic. They can go on with the similar topic in the "Steppes and Central Asia" forum.

Tengriberdi, maybe because you are a new coming member, you entered such issues very passionately, but we have been really fed up with such discussion since months and even a year. We had several topics about that issue, some closed, some discussed, some still on. So please continue on those past topics if you are that fiery about this issue.

Regards, Oguzoglu
