>turkish people think they're part of the balkanshuh?
>>216261207they wanna be included and are very balkanesque
>>216261207Are they closer to Balkaners or Levantines?
they're ayrabs
i was browsing instagram and got hit with this random balkan memes pagei was browsing the videos and it's like, for every post, there's at least 1 turkish person in the comments section arguing how they created balkan culture and how they're more balkan than any of the balkan countriesi found it really interesting that they think like that
>>216261247>not white enough to be euro>not azn enough to turan>not muzzie enough to be ayrabThey're adrift with no clear cultural family aside from Azeris.
>>216261245idk, that's sort of what i want to know
>>216261207turkishness is what define balkans
They are 70% Balkan, but they always get mad when you tell them that they have some cultural similarities with Middle Easterners, particularly with us.
>>216261207their genes make up most of balkanoids
>>216261571>but they always get mad when you tell them that they have some cultural similarities with Middle Easternerswhy?
theres millions of serbs in istanbul alone
>>216261248That guy isn’t wrong. Modern balkan cultures have their foundation in Ottoman culture just like modern turkish culture. >>216261296That’s what happens when you want to LARP as frenchmen like Ataturk wanted. It would have been better if the guy never went into politics. Because of him turks have the same problems as white countries. >>216261571Only kemalists are like that. Turks that actually know their history will admit that we took a lot from you guys specifically.
>>216261736Because they have an inferiority complex towards western nations. Turkey literally colonized itself under Ataturk.
>>216261763very strange
>>216261755>Modern balkan cultures have their foundation in Ottoman culture just like modern turkish culture.i thought modern balkan culture has its origin in the byzantine empire
>>216261749what?>>216261571some famous balkan regions: north kurdistan, med, black sea
>>216261571But the Balkans, Mediterranean and Middle East are extremely similar culturally no matter how angry all of them get about it.
>>216261207more like balkans are an extention of us
