Seriously , if Turks were not ruling the Balkans and Eastern Europe meanwhile Europe was going through Renaissance and Reforms , as a result Western and Southern Europe got richer , spread their languages and global impact . Without the Turks Eastern Europe would get their hands on science , technology , natural resources and colonies , would not be so fucked up as it is today. In other words you would not have feminine and subservient women, due to economic progression which would lead to feminism eventually . Maybe genetically they would still be beautiful , but i am pretty sure they would not be taking care of their appearance ( maintaining lean body , make up , cosmetics etc ) like they do today . I am not even mentioning the positive cultural aspects like respecting the elder people and hospitality, predominantly in the Balkans , not something to be found in Anglo German nations . You can thank the Turks . Buy me a drink next time you see me in Eastern Europe .
Stop being buthurt and start opening some books, becayse you sound ridiculous.
Firs of all you are Georgian .
Secondly, turjkey in essence is a multi ethnic country. It is difficult to state what a real turk is.
How many millions of turks are of bosnian, albanian, circissian, goergian, arab ancestry??
The term turk as a nation was created by Ataturk in 1920.
He said himself that Turkey is just one of the provinces of the Ottoman Empire.
Before that we had the multi ethnic ottoman empire, where the term turks was considered an offence.
For example did you know that 44 prime ministers of the Ottoman Empire were Albanians and many others come from the other ethnicity of the empire?
As for the '' contribution'' you stated , those respects to elders, hospitality was in the Balkans thousands of years before the Ottoman appeared.
The Ottoman Empire ( not turks) was an empire that didnt really develop or revolutionized much like the Romans did for example .
They just adopted things they saw. Ottomans were very good in recruiting soldiers and making them have a great Career, i give you that.
Also the empire was also good economically up to the end of the 17th century when the industrial revolution started to appear in western europe.
If it wasnt for this albanian family, the empire would have collapsed by the middle 17th century
''The Köprülü family (Turkish: Köprülü ailesi) was a noble family of Albanian origin in the Ottoman Empire.[1][2] The family provided six grand viziers (including Kara Mustafa Pasha, who was a stepson), with several others becoming high-ranking officers. The era during which these grand viziers served is known as the "Köprülü era" of the Ottoman Empire''
''The Köprülü era (Turkish: Köprülüler Devri) (c. 1656–1703) was a period in which the Ottoman Empire's politics were frequently dominated by a series of grand viziers from the Köprülü family. The Köprülü era is sometimes more narrowly defined as the period from 1656-1683, as it was during those years that members of the family held the office of grand vizier uninterruptedly, while for the remainder of the period they occupied it only sporadically.[1] The Köprülüs were generally skilled administrators, and are credited with reviving the empire's fortunes after a period of military defeat and economic instability. Numerous reforms were instituted under their rule, which enabled the empire to resolve its budget crisis and stamp out factional conflict in the empire.[2]''
Start opening books dude.
