    Good guys. Poland had a friend in Turkey for a long time and there was hardly any hatered between our nations. Of course many people know about all those Polish-Turkish wars, but these were mostly because of some over-ambitious Ottoman leaders who were 'encouraged' to learn never to annoy our country in several battles


    About the Turks in this forum - there are very helpful, reliable and you can count on their promises.

    Present day Turkey? It will be a bit of a worry if the secular tradition insisted on by Ataturk is overthrown by Islamic parties, certainly.

    Should Turkey join the EU? Alas, I have to say until her GDP per head, basic legal structure and so on, are more aligned with Europe, I would have to say no. However I would hope that with trading links and other support the EU could help Turkey to a position where that is possible.

    Lets face it it would put the wind up the Americans for a start.

    I don't know all that much about historical Turkey, I gather that the Ottoman empire was no worse than any other, with all due respect I have to say I am glad the Austrians turned it back to the Balkans, and that, coupled with the fact that Lawrence of Arabia had a rather nasty experence in a Turkish jail, more or less sums up my knowledge.

    Welcome to the Org.

    what do Turks call themselves?

    seeing as the Europeans called nearly all steppe cultures Tatars or Turks, they just ended up accepting that name
