If I'm not mistaken, -yan is "son of" as in -oglu

Armenians don't add anything next to those words. Turkish words are used only in slang language.

Take it easy DayI, I guess he is dumb enough not to  know the meaning of that icon. 

Either make a history or become a history.

Nalbandian. A tennis player from Armenian origin. Armenian language has many words borrowed from Turkish just like Turkish have many words from Arabic and Persian.

Greeks usually add -ides at the end of the surnames, meaning "son" as I know. They can also add "oglu" which means son in Turkish.

I have this thought:  the Turks originally hailed from central Asia, being neighbors to the steppe cultures from which the Mongols later emerged.

Perhaps the earliest influence on Turkish had been ancient Mongolian and Chinese, followed by Arabic and Persian.  There seems to be quite a few words in Turkish which have something in common with Mongolian, but having not heard either language spoken, I can't say for certain how closely they resemble each other.

I should head to the White House Greek and Middle Eastern Food which is owned by a Turkish man, located in Post Falls, Idaho. I should ask him for a sample of what Turkish sounds like- The food is great if you like lots of garlic.

It doesn't mean that it has influenced properly spoken Armenian.
