Quotes about Turks

The Flags of Turkish Nation “There are two merits that glorify a person: being courageous for a man and being virtuous for a woman. Besides these two, there is another merit that glorifies both man and woman: so much loving the homeland to an extent with being ready to sacrifice his/her life, if needed.

Franks had gone to Rhône area while others had stayed in Tisza area. The others did choose a king for themselves and named him as 'Turcoth', which later formed the name, the “Turks”, recent forms of nation known as recent Turkish countries..” Frédégaire - French "After Troy has fallen, Trojan armies were separated by two groups. One group had followed King Priamos's grandchild Francon from Hector, other group had followed King Priamos's grandchild Turkus from Troilus.
