Street Tastes in Istanbul: Turkish Tea and More..

BooksonTurkey.Com

All in Turkey and key for unique Turkey as well www.booksonturkey.com

Turks journied all through Asia, Europe and Africa over several millenniums and marked their legacies in geography and history of the countries stretching throughout the continents of the old world.

What is imagined in mindset as Turkey is functionally stereotyped under 8 categories; for Turkey Travellers, for Readers, for Buyers, for Turkish Learners&Students, for Turkish Cuisine, for Turkish Medical, for Beyond Turkey, for Turcophiles and several sub categories for easy access and reference.

“Books on Turkey” is not confined to works on Turkey; it also includes historical, cultural, social, and political research carried out on countries and societies “beyond Turkey”; extending from Europe to the Balkans, Middle East, North Africa and Far East, Near East, Central, South and South East of Asia.

Key for creative solutions of the world from Turkey with books, bazaars, businesses, travellers, nomads, towns, mountains, rivers, seas, antiquity, first settlers, literature, philosophy, wisdom, olives, endemics, language, hospitality, smile on faces; so on and more on the continental peninsulas of faith and infinity of the humankind.

Yes, BooksonTurkey’s language is entirely in English, but it has become a Turkish site after all.

As a person who has stepped into 32 countries as part of my export profession, I am delighted to have surpassed “Turkish propaganda for Turks” and made Ataturk’s ideal of “Peace at home, peace in the world” visible as a result of adding Turkeys outside Turkey to the content of the site with original photographs of my own.

Saying Turkey, what I mean is the World.

I want to further this message.

Turkishness is not an ethnical category.  While everyone who is Muslim in the Balkans defines himself as Turkish, everyone who is Ottoman in the Americas is referred to as El Turco!

A Bosnian praying in front of Damat Ali Pasha Tomb in Belgrade says “I am a Turk, alhamdulillah, I am a Muslim, alhamdulillah”. While importance is given to common thoughts and common cultures in the Balkans, finding solutions to issues with a soft and tolerant perspective seems to be the most important attitude.
