I loved people...
..."

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.

Whoever become friends with this amazing nation will have

Ihre om Svenska och Turkiska Språkens likhet, 1764, Lund University). Here what he concluded, given with his words: " Our ancestors are Turks who are comrades of Oden.

"When Trojans had come to Europe, they separated into two ways. One of them was Francions, the predecessors of Franks and the other one was Turcoths, the predecessors of Turks. 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. Therefore there are two nations, originated from Trojans, their names have been known as "Franks" and "Turks" by the world currently." Vincent de Beauvais, writer of Speculum Maius (known with the encyclopedia of the Middle Age) "Turks' homelands are behind of th
