there is one aspect of 'culture' both the Turks and the Greeks were rumoured to enjoy......Originally posted by paiktis22
Too bad the Turks were in no position to use other aspects of our culture too. Like democracy for example

Right, same think with most American monuments and memorials they do look pretty because they are in Greek Style and on some of 'em there is actually greek written on them. Look at Washington DC, everything seems to be a kitsch copy of Greek Temples and Architectonical Style.
What the Hell does this have to do with the Turks making the Hagia Sophia look better than before?

The true test of a civilization is how good their food is.
Therefore, the chinese are the greatest, followed by the mexicans (Aztec), Italians, greeks, Burmans, ... #478 on the list is the Turks, just above the welsh, the Bushmen of the Khalahari, and the fuqawis.*

If Turkey joins the EU, they will have come full circle and joined the people they once conquered. Perhaps the price of admittance to the EU would be to restore the name of the city to Constantinople in recognition of their "surrender."http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

Surrender? Actually it might Eastern Europe who'll have surrendered, because the Turks have been on good terms with the British and French for a significant periods in their history.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Replaced by even MORE beautiful paintings and decorations. The gold Islamic text on background of lapis is considered one of the aesthic wonders of the world!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Bah, the turks are the only true greeks left anyway; today's greeks are just a bunch of transcarpathian gypsies. Though for both the warm blood flows thru a large four chambered heart, maintaining the very high metabolism that they share.
btw - Turkish food rules and the Hagi Sophia looks incredible. What have you guys been smokin'?Be the bid!Comment
