The Republic of Turkey is secular, there is no state religion.
Our flag is our centuries old battle flag..

>> If it were you would have had the State of Thrace, The State of Smyrna, the State of Pontus, the State of Trebizond, the State of Galatia, The State of Cappadocia, etc.

Depends on whose borders they will be in a generation as the EU decentralization policies takes hold.

Let's do the old Greek "We'll have to see" "Let's see what's gonna happen" "Let's see what they're gonna do" thing.
You and your buds keep up this dumb-ass rhetoric and the minions will burn many more effigies..

Thanks! I always appreciate hearing your comments about Turkey.

Greece will not be responsible for a thing. It is what the EU does. Note Scotland and England devolution.

Here we go as usual. You've finally and as usual managed to veer away from the points in the news article, which is a report on some sort of reaction to the Greek orthodox church.
Too bad the patriarch has to pay once again for the irresponsible an bombastic rhetoric of Greeks in Greece or disillusioned diaspora Greeks elsewhere.

Fascinating article. One thing I found interesting is that "tengu" is also the Japanese word for a sky bird/god.
In addition, the old Turkish color symbolism seems to have been used in a lot of fairy tales ancient and modern. I was especially intrigued by the north/black, east/blue, south/red, and west/white color symbols. In L. Frank Baum's modern fairy tale The Wizard of Oz, Oz's color scheme is similar: blue/East, yellow/West, red/South, and purple/North.
But back to the point at hand: what I got from the article is that the crescent moon/star image is an ancient one that goes back to the proto-Indo-European people of Central Asia thousands of years before the rise of Islam.

Turkish is related to Korean and Japanese. Barbarian invasions and migrations brought them to the civilized West.

The star and crecent is the symbol if Islam - its cross if you will- origins probably with the pagan goddess Ishtar.

What did the Greeks have to do with any of this? This is between Turkey and the EU.
