ORIGINAL: oaltinyay hey guctony what part of anatolia are u from ? This question will have one short answer and a long one. Short Answer is I am from istanbul. At least my fathers father was from Istanbul. The long answer is: My fathers fathers family was from Sivas east of Turkey. They are Tribe people Called Salgur Which ruled lands in Persia around 1300-1500 then immigrated to Anatolia. They were nomadic people. My Fathers Mother is from Edirne that is the Most western city of the Turkey, Next to greece. They immigrated to Edirne from Crimea. They are Tatar by origin. Called Crimea Tatars. They immigrated because of occupation of Crimea by Russion. My Mothers Father is From Bulgaria He is Turkish by origin And His family lived in Bulgaria 300 years till the foundation Of Bulgaria. My Mothers Mother is Circassian They immigrated to Ottoman empire from Caucasian because of Russian at the time 14. century. They lived near Bolu which is north-west Turkey. Funny thing is that My mothers grandmother was handmaiden in the ottoman palace. We call us Turk And we live in Turkey and we speak Turkish. But like USA We are combination of people beliving and living in One land and Nation. Accually Sometimes I think Ottoman Empire is very much was like US. I mostly consider myself Circassian. Because when I go to Russia for work I quite blend the people. And I feel the summer in Moscow suits me well.
