Το μόνο που μας χωρίζει με τους Τούρκους των ακτών της Τουρκίας είναι η γλώσσα και η θρησκεία(και, κατά τη γνώμη μου τουλάχιστον, αυτά δεν είναι εμπόδια για να ενωθούμε, αφού έχουμε το ίδιο αίμα και ψυχή). Όλα μα όλα τα άλλα είναι ίδια! Παίξαμε το πολιτικό παιχνίδι των "ΔΥΝΑΤΩΝ" ΓΙΑ ΠΑΡΑ ΠΟΛΛΑ ΧΡΟΝΙΑ χωρίς να έχουμε κανένα συμφέρον! ΜΟΝΟ ΖΗΜΙΕΣ προς όφελος "ΑΥΤΩΝ"! ΦΤΑΝΕΙ ΠΙΑ!

See what music can do by uniting the Greeks and the Turks. Old empires are over with now. Today we must unite with our brothers from both sides whether they are Greeks or Arabs, Turks or Armenians. Long live the unity between Greece and Turkey.
@MegaKrishan123 We all wish it was that easy to unite. However, it's an utopia. It's still deep inside some people, & I don't blame them. History must be learned, in order not to repeat it. Cheers, and enjoy this timeless song from the Poli.

Dear str8diah, let me tell you an ancient myth of Aesop.
Once upon a time, a man was raising a little snake, as a pet, in his house. Unfortunately, one day while he was absent, his young son stepped by mistake on the snake's tail and cut it. The snake, which was in terrible pain, bit impulsively the boy and the boy soon died. After that, the snake felt ashamed and ran away to the mountains.
When the man came back and saw what had happened, he was inconsolable.
Great couple (Yiannis and Gorkem) and band. Performing this beutiful music with great sensitvity and talent. I'm Israeli but my mother was born in Turkey (Edirne) and I remember her signging this song when I was a child.

For the ones who does not know us, our names are Gorkem (Vocal/Kanun) and Yannis (Vocal/Bouzouki). You may find more of or music at soundcloud under goldistor. Thank you for your interest in our work.
Thank you for both the video and the song. I do not know why the voice of the greek tv presenter is always present. Although he is an actor and tv persona his voice is nice and friendly. I would like to mention that for me the best performer of this song is Xanthipi Karathanasi (Ξανθίπη Καραθανάση). I dont know if there is a better video than this. Many greek singers performed this song and I think that the most distinguished one is that of Xanthipi.
@GloballyArtistic I checked the Xanthipi version on the strength of your comment, but I'm afraid I cannot agree. To say that hers is the best rendition is a bit a stretch, to say the least. Gorkem & Giannis is the best that I've seen/heard.
@ninjaguava you cannot find a copy of this performance only from them individually maybe i dont know them but surely you can download it in any language from ottoman empire rule like greek bulgarian albanian serbian armenian romanian macedonian and offcourse Turkish
People who get fooled and provoked by nationalism are doing what the white house is expecting of them, saying Turkey and Greece never the twain shall meet, is whole lot of bullshit, we are neighboards and brothers! we both drink rakı or uzo :P
I'm Turk , living in Izmir. My grandparents came to Izmir from Thessolaniki and Kos Island. So i growth with both culture which is %99.9 same . My grandfather (RIP) was watching Turkish news at TRT(Turkish Radio Television) then he was switching to EPT for Greeks. We dont need to have harm feelings on eachothers. Cause we are like an half piece of apple. Family,food,culture,dance etc. And :) gladly i have Greek gf now and am extremely happy with her . Cheers bro's from two side.
.....Nevertheless, months later, he decided to go and search for the snake so that he could explain to it that he understood what has happened was an accident and he knew it was not its fault. After all, he has forgiven the snake and he wanted to ask it to return home just like the past days.
However, the snake's answer was the following:
"Listen, my dear friend. I appreciate your concern, but as long as I am tailless and your son is dead we can no longer be friends".....
@IeroklisSavvidis lands . They'd hard times especially during the WW2 but he was always sighing and sayin" ah bre Istanköy " bre=vre , istanköy = Kos Island in Turkish. its 2011 my friend . hundreds of years passed away . Time to stand up and walk on . Life is going on mate ..
This above mentioned story fits impressively the story of our nations. Doubtless, we have caused too much pain to each other and neither side is willing to forget that easy. Insallah one day we will both be ready and able to forgive and forget. Until that day, we have at least to avoid new bites!
@IeroklisSavvidis Well , past is past if we live while lookin' at our back and remindin' bad/worse painful moments we cant see the rainbow infront of us. So many culture passed it spanish/south americans, indians/north americans, even North Africans/French or Italy . Yes we have to get our lessons but also we have to be in constructive contribution mood . Had been in the both side . Greeks had pains and losses but this side also. My grandpa while moved here from Kos he lost all the valuable
@str8diah my brother GOD didnt create turks,greeks,italians etc.we are all the same working people who want the same things from life.if we must fight for something this is ignorance and stupidity that makes honest people kill themselfs for profit of the evil of this world.
I am from Greece and share your opinion!!In fact my grandparents were from Pontos but I think that the culture is the same!!we should have good relationship despite the politics...greetings from Greece too...
U have the appropriate ethnic identity,but the Greeks are fools...
They think they are descendants of ancient Greeks,with...pure blood & regard the Turks as foreigners & enemies,while the Turks are their half-blooded brothers..
The Turks have a turkish father & a turkish mother,the Greeks have a greek mother & a turkish father
,who were... mixing with each other for 400 years of Ottoman rule...
@gregathe really? look to the mirrir if u look like mongolian ur real Turk, if you are mediterean u are of greek origin. Turkish nation was based on culture and islam, not on national identity. Turks are islamized greeks of anatolia, read genetical research, for example Cavalli Sforza. All famous Turks we know their origin is not turkish like Ataturk, Mimar Sinan, Ali Pasha etc! Thats true my friend
you know there weren't just greeks in anatolia, right? turks are definitely not turkic, but that doesn't qualify them automatically as "turkicised greeks".
@gloomyoutlook Great majority, about 80% of whole anatolian population befour the turkish conquest spoke Greek as motherlingua. The rest were mainly Armenians. These Anatolian Greeks, who in gew nimber survived till our days were descendants of ancient greeks mixed with old anatolian nations-Lydians, Carians etc, so if the turks arent of greek orrigin where disappered this majority of greek speaking Anatolia?
@gloomyoutlook yes, but 80% of anatolians spoke greek, so the rest of this 20% were armenians, kurds, jews, assyrians, isaurians and some other. After the turkish conquest majority of that 80% Greeks islamized, changed theyr language to turkish, mixed with all other people of ottoman empire-balkanians, arabs, persians and today are Turks. Thats history. 10% of modern turks have "real" turkish genetic origin.
I've very much in agreement with you regarding the genetic origins of modern turkish people, and the only reason that is a relevant subject is due to the signifcance turks themselves place on their supposed descent from the central asian hordes, and the superiority they attach to that claim. Otherwise, it would be entirely inconsequential. What confuses me is the 80% figure, and the basis of that assertion. It rather seems you've pulled it out of your arse.
@gloomyoutlook you can read the genetic. research of Europe, by Cavalli-Sforza, he found that just 10% of Turks have small connection to central asian turkic people, and the majority descends from the autochtonous population, which spoke greek.
I'm not disputing that, as I said. It's the 80% greek speaking before the arrival of the turks that I'm disputing. Greeks had population centres in the Ionian coast of Anatolia, and in the Pontus, as well as smaller populations along the Turqoise coast. Anatolia is far larger than those parts.
@gloomyoutlook Its historical FACT! Yes Western, southern a northern part was greek during archaic and classical period, BUT after the conquest of Alexander the great-hellenistic period many Greeks settled whole anatolian territory, mixed with local population (Carians, Lydians, Lykians, Cappadocians, Paflagonians) and so in 2nd century, anatolians spoke JUST greek, there were not lydian etc language later. And the greek language remainded there to the turkish conquest!
@MAXIMILIANVS Few remainded were Issaurians, Assyrians, Kurds and Armenians, who came there after 10th century AD. When the turks came found in anatolia about 80% greek speaking population, majority of them became islamized and turkifized, other lost greek language but remainded greeks and christians, other-mainly Ionians and Pontians spoke greek, in Pontus the greek language survived just coz of mountain refuge of the greeks, in Ionia thanks to later migration from the islands
@gloomyoutlook No Kurds just Armenians can u read? Pisidia and Cappadocia were settled by Armenians after the 10th century, what u know? Ur historian and didnt know about ancient anatolian nations and their assimilation to greek culture? Where did u study history???
@SadieMirsade because Kurds are an Anatolian nation, same as Anatolian Greeks are anatolian nation. Thats why. Turks weren Anatolian nation, but asiatic people, simmilar to mongolians, kazachs, i mean face type. Today Turks are all mediterrean, mainly of anatolian greek origin. My friend is turk, he told me his father is of Albanian origin, mother of Romanian origin, both christians who converted on islam about 200 years ago and became TURKS
So, what you're saying is that Anatolian are descendants of various layers of settlements, conquest, migration, assimilation, language shift,
resulting in what today is the modern Turkish nation.
Most nations in the region have similar scenarios and origins. Is it surprising that Cypriots are genetically more related to Lebanese and Anatolian Turks, than to Greece proper?
Genetics is fascinating. Finally we have to FACE who we REALLY are, against what we THINK we ARE.
@KANONAS55 Cheers kardes :) updated news . Married with her and moved to Athens . And after 2 month i can say i didnt have any difficulties here. Definetly %100 same

@cypriot1965 : I appreciate your reply, yet I have some objections (a)
Why "Turkish Cypriot" and not "Cypriot" my friend ? You may have been brought up from that side of the fence, but who knows if your ancestors were Cypriots who converted religion/ethnicity in hard times of the history or came from an "ottoman" family,..from a "Turkish" family the chances is less than 10%... if it is important. (b) we may "learned" from each other, but also "developed" culture living together. Important!
An amazing and emotive, in live performance of this traditional song of Ionia, alternately in Greek and Turkish languages, combined with excellent audio perfection of participants musical instruments, and with these of unparalleled skills of those users.
Μια καταπληκτική και συγκινησιακή ζωντανή εκτέλεση του παραδοσιακού αυτού τραγουδιού της Ιωνίας, εναλλάξ στην Ελληνική και στην Τουρκική γλώσσα, άριστα συνδυασμένη με την ηχητική τελειότητα των συμμετεχόντων μουσικών οργάνων και των απαράμιλλων δεξιοτήτων των χρηστών αυτών.
Με άλλα λόγια, ένα πραγματικό ρεσιτάλ!
Σας ευχαριστούμε που μας χαρίσατε αυτά τα ανεπανάληπτα μουσικά ακούσματα.
I am a Turk. Turkish version of the song is more hilarious but honestly greek version is also pretty good. No matter the song is created in turkish or greek, we all are created by HIM
Wake up people, its not about us, the people. Its about both our politicians (thank God not all of 'em) and mostly about this despicable portion of the elite of our nations, which often play games on our back and, sadly, sometimes sends us to slaughter each other (like the dogs of war we both are-fact) with weapons bought from our own pockets, most of the times made somewhere else by some other country's elite. The above applies to every pair of nations. End of story. Cheers!!!
Music tradition unites (as dimdepot said), and this is the only reality !!! The song is wonderful. We had better to focus on the the common filling, pleasure and roots we have - as balkanias or neighbors - when listening this music and song, rather to insist to follow stupid flat and nationalistic fights...

Everyone in balkan says its their song, but the TRUTH is, this song comes to balkan from the ottomans in 19th century. A turk has made this song which called also KATIBIM and this song tells about Üsküdar the lovely city in IstanbuL. PeaCe !
Let's stop those stupid fights. The guy who plays the buzuki is greek, Yannis Saoulis and the woman is turkish Gorkem Okten and they are married with children.
The song is probably lebaneese and some people say that the tune was originaly brought there by the crussadors.
I found a youtube account under the name "ysaoulis" that appears to be theirs and it's there from 10/2009 and they only have just a few friends. Let's become their friends to show them our appreciation.
This is a song of the 19 th century whis is brought to the balkans by the ottomans.
Its sounds 100 % turkish and not balkanian! Everyone in the balkan says thats their own song. But the truly its a song about üsküdar and comes from the turks...
I am not trying to prove that the song was written by someone from the Balkans....but get real buddy.
Making music was hardly a prestigious pastime for a Moslem Ottoman gentleman, or even a villager.
The likelyhood that this song was composed by some mythical descendant of the hypothetically ``pure`` Turkish Ottoman conquerors of Istanbul....is about 0.5%. And even that`s a generous overestimate.
Most of the greeks ( about 99,5%) have turkish genes in their bloodline.
In times of Arsitotle or Platon the greeks are shown as blue eyed and blonde. While most of the greeks now look pretty dark..I mean dark hair, dark eyes.
This is quite normal, because Greece was hundreds of years under turkish occupation and influence.
I really like the greeks but sometimes they say provocative things and that really sucks...the turks do either....this is dumb! Stop it
@Taygun89 Quite the opposite. Actually, it's the turks that are the decendants of the old inhabitants of the byzantine empire. Recent gene studies showed that there is very little contribution of mongol genes in turkey and greece. I will ask you to do a little test. Search google for pictures of the Uyghurs (a real ancient turkic tribe which didn't move west) and then look at yourself in the mirror.
@elvira2674 That's because Turks never have been mongols, you're totally ignorant of Turkic and Turkish past please refrain your self from talking about the subject.. also you realize many uyghurs have blue eyes/green eyes blonde and red hairs? And no this kind of Music came with the Ottoman Turks its Ottoman court music, and it has Persian and Greek infleunces in it... but I think it's obvious who has had more influence, konyalim, sari gelin, uskudardan .. etc. they are all Turkish songs
interesting point neighbor but,... just consider 2 things
1) ATTILA the Hun, trace it back to the roots
2) pls do the same with the Turkish language. Follow the traces though Asia.
Don't these 2 simple facts lead to the same geographic area , called MONGOLIA ?
I will agree with you that today, the Turks are hardly to be considered as mongols. Not even 15% (official records of the last population registration of the Ottomans in the beginning of the 19th century. Don't you agree?
@gapamint You clearly have no idea of what your talking about. Turkic people are traced back to modern Russia/China and Mongolia. Mongols aren't related to Turkic peoples they simply lived near each other. It's like saying Greeks are Turks because of the Ottoman Empire (even that's more likely since we greeks/turks mixed more than mongols and Turks). This is just a FACT we are not related, but if we where I wouldn't mind, but we are simply not.
@3choBlast3r: My friend, I agree that all people should and usually are comfortable if not proud of the heritage. This is OK for all and for those citizens of modern Turkey who are decedents of the Huns/Turks or other tribes. The Ottoman records show "pictures" with their "genetic" characteristics. History is "records" + facts, not "passion" or "patriotism", especially "imposed" to populations of occupied lands (the "methods" are on record in the same archives). That was not the question.
the real question in any modern time country (as Turkey and ELLAS -Unanistan for you, US or Germany or France or... ) is if Nation=Citizen and vise versa. This is simply Nationalism / Fascism and it is never true. People should be free to self determination and freedom of expression, speech and religion (if they feel like it) yet is a democratic society within the defined /existing states. When these will apply, none will labeled as an animal or products. Simple, isn't it?
and I don't care my friend if the musician or the singer is Turk or Greek, but only if the music hits my chords, I don't care if Baklava is Persian or Syrian ... as long as it is good, and I don't care if the ancient monuments and theaters are called "Ancient Turkish" as long as they are respected, or Ayia Sofia and any religion's temples are respected. We've made the world like in "football". Maybe is time to make something better out of it. More civilized.
@fizznation It is a greek entertainment show called "Cheers to us" (Stin igia mas), and it is on every Saturday night at 10:15 local time, you could watch it from ERTSat, if you have sattelite reception
It's again and again nice to hear this song, remembering the years in Istanbul. The combination of Bouzouki and Kanûn sounds very well, and in the background the classic type of music from Istanbul at the beginning of the song ...
Great song! I watched that documentary movie about this song and it's variants in every Balkan country. I'm interested what are the lyrics (preferable in English) in Greek and Turkish versions?
I suppose not, firstly, that is might have been recorded in turkish first is irrelevant because during long periods in the Ottoman empire it was prohobited for at least Greeks to speak their language. So, the song might be deviced by greeks, but in Turkihs. Secondly, it is a typical Constantinopolean sound, and the tradition of Constantinople as even turks will admit nowadays has been always (mainly) greek.
There was not forbidden for any nation to speak its language in the Ottoman Empire. Kostantinoupoli was never Greek, It was the capital of the Byzantium. Allow me to consider your comments on this song as a speculation.
perhaps there are many other things you don't know my friend. 2 million greeks lived at west minor asia till the war. aman is the minimum common that we got. as the famous old greek lady-author said to "bloody ground": ...kahr olsun!
Mehter music from which this song originates is the oldest military band in the world (600 years) and the father of percussion music. The song goes back over 400 years...it also explains why most of these countries only had half of the melody, until it was re-imagined as a love song in Istanbul in the 18th Century. And the rest of Europe only came to the song in its form as is now in the eighteenth century when the "Turquerien" or Turkish fad took hold of the continent for a while.
I can't believe this argument is still ongoing. A Bulgarian art house movie entitled "Whose Is This Song?" had tracked the roots of this melody back to the Turkish Ottoman military band over four hundred years ago which took the melody over to the places it occupied. This is why such places as Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Albania, and Greece share this song in their folk catalogue and why places further west like Italy i.e. Venice (a place the Turks failed to conquer) do not...
Music transcends all stalemates, be it political or cultural. The cultural commonalities far exceed the divisive factors that have cultivated the standoff amongst the two nations. And when you take a beautiful song like this and try to make it political you're defying the purpose of the art, which is to in fact bridge the two cultures by ways of common traditions. It is sad when both you pigheaded idiots take something so pure as this song and chose to fight over it...Get over it!!!
here is another theory about the song. During the Crimean war Irish soldiers came and settled in Uskudar. This song was one of their military songs. While they were playing this song people in Uskudar liked and modified to Turkish and Greek. So it is not anybody's it shared value of all humanity.
Like the last year, it is still waste of time to dispute where this song comes from.
Maybe a historian can find it out.
I realize a nice song different nations with complicated history have in common.
And to my fellow countrymen eastern of the Aegean/Ege denizi/Αιγαίο Πέλαγος: Watch your language and do not damage the reputation of Turkey by posting stupid and vulgar comments.
By the way: I heard this song when I lived in Istanbul/Konstandinoúpoli :).
@ Olafkarlson wir sind stolz auf dich. Weil dein Vater ein SS-Nazi war hahaha. @ Olafkarlson we are proud of you. Because your father was an SS Nazi. Sorry for your Mother. Because of the mass rapes of Scandinavian women.
This is a most beautiful song and interpretation. My Armenian friend at the Lycée in Beirut, Lebanon, taught me small pieces of the lyrics in 1956--those by the female interpreter! So, I've a word to the wise, music should bring people of different cultures closer to each other, not apart. To "askimati and boyfromblacksea, take a deeeeeeep breath and enjoy. Happy New Year!

Thank you for both the video and the song. I do not know why the voice of the greek tv presenter is always present. Although he is an actor and tv persona his voice is nice and friendly. I would like to mention that for me the best performer of this song is Xanthipi Karathanasi (Ξανθίπη Καραθανάση). I dont know if there is a better video than this. Many greek singers performed this song and I think that the most distinguished one is that of Xanthipi.
GloballyArtistic 1 year ago

After the turkish conquest majority of that 80% Greeks islamized, changed theyr language to turkish, mixed with all other people of ottoman empire-balkanians, arabs, persians and today are Turks. Thats history. 10% of modern turks have "real" turkish genetic origin.
MAXIMILIANVS 1 month ago
@MAXIMILIANVS
I've very much in agreement with you regarding the genetic origins of modern turkish people, and the only reason that is a relevant subject is due to the signifcance turks themselves place on their supposed descent from the central asian hordes, and the superiority they attach to that claim. Otherwise, it would be entirely inconsequential. What confuses me is the 80% figure, and the basis of that assertion. It rather seems you've pulled it out of your arse.
gloomyoutlook 1 month ago
@gloomyoutlook you can read the genetic. research of Europe, by Cavalli-Sforza, he found that just 10% of Turks have small connection to central asian turkic people, and the majority descends from the autochtonous population, which spoke greek.
MAXIMILIANVS 1 month ago
@MAXIMILIANVS
I'm not disputing that, as I said. It's the 80% greek speaking before the arrival of the turks that I'm disputing. Greeks had population centres in the Ionian coast of Anatolia, and in the Pontus, as well as smaller populations along the Turqoise coast. Anatolia is far larger than those parts.
gloomyoutlook 1 month ago
@gloomyoutlook Its historical FACT! Yes Western, southern a northern part was greek during archaic and classical period, BUT after the conquest of Alexander the great-hellenistic period many Greeks settled whole anatolian territory, mixed with local population (Carians, Lydians, Lykians, Cappadocians, Paflagonians) and so in 2nd century, anatolians spoke JUST greek, there were not lydian etc language later. And the greek language remainded there to the turkish conquest!
MAXIMILIANVS 1 month ago
@MAXIMILIANVS Few remainded were Issaurians, Assyrians, Kurds and Armenians, who came there after 10th century AD. When the turks came found in anatolia about 80% greek speaking population, majority of them became islamized and turkifized, other lost greek language but remainded greeks and christians, other-mainly Ionians and Pontians spoke greek, in Pontus the greek language survived just coz of mountain refuge of the greeks, in Ionia thanks to later migration from the islands

So, what you're saying is that Anatolian are descendants of various layers of settlements, conquest, migration, assimilation, language shift,
resulting in what today is the modern Turkish nation.
Most nations in the region have similar scenarios and origins. Is it surprising that Cypriots are genetically more related to Lebanese and Anatolian Turks, than to Greece proper?
Genetics is fascinating. Finally we have to FACE who we REALLY are, against what we THINK we ARE.

I am not trying to prove that the song was written by someone from the Balkans....but get real buddy.
Making music was hardly a prestigious pastime for a Moslem Ottoman gentleman, or even a villager.
The likelyhood that this song was composed by some mythical descendant of the hypothetically ``pure`` Turkish Ottoman conquerors of Istanbul....is about 0.5%. And even that`s a generous overestimate.
Let`s call it ``Ottoman``.

Most of the greeks ( about 99,5%) have turkish genes in their bloodline.
In times of Arsitotle or Platon the greeks are shown as blue eyed and blonde. While most of the greeks now look pretty dark..I mean dark hair, dark eyes.
This is quite normal, because Greece was hundreds of years under turkish occupation and influence.
I really like the greeks but sometimes they say provocative things and that really sucks...the turks do either....this is dumb! Stop it
Taygun89 1 year ago
@Taygun89 Quite the opposite. Actually, it's the turks that are the decendants of the old inhabitants of the byzantine empire. Recent gene studies showed that there is very little contribution of mongol genes in turkey and greece. I will ask you to do a little test. Search google for pictures of the Uyghurs (a real ancient turkic tribe which didn't move west) and then look at yourself in the mirror.

@gapamint You clearly have no idea of what your talking about. Turkic people are traced back to modern Russia/China and Mongolia. Mongols aren't related to Turkic peoples they simply lived near each other. It's like saying Greeks are Turks because of the Ottoman Empire (even that's more likely since we greeks/turks mixed more than mongols and Turks). This is just a FACT we are not related, but if we where I wouldn't mind, but we are simply not.

@3choBlast3r: My friend, I agree that all people should and usually are comfortable if not proud of the heritage. This is OK for all and for those citizens of modern Turkey who are decedents of the Huns/Turks or other tribes. The Ottoman records show "pictures" with their "genetic" characteristics. History is "records" + facts, not "passion" or "patriotism", especially "imposed" to populations of occupied lands (the "methods" are on record in the same archives). That was not the question.

I suppose not, firstly, that is might have been recorded in turkish first is irrelevant because during long periods in the Ottoman empire it was prohobited for at least Greeks to speak their language. So, the song might be deviced by greeks, but in Turkihs. Secondly, it is a typical Constantinopolean sound, and the tradition of Constantinople as even turks will admit nowadays has been always (mainly) greek.

Mehter music from which this song originates is the oldest military band in the world (600 years) and the father of percussion music. The song goes back over 400 years...it also explains why most of these countries only had half of the melody, until it was re-imagined as a love song in Istanbul in the 18th Century. And the rest of Europe only came to the song in its form as is now in the eighteenth century when the "Turquerien" or Turkish fad took hold of the continent for a while.

I can't believe this argument is still ongoing. A Bulgarian art house movie entitled "Whose Is This Song?" had tracked the roots of this melody back to the Turkish Ottoman military band over four hundred years ago which took the melody over to the places it occupied. This is why such places as Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Albania, and Greece share this song in their folk catalogue and why places further west like Italy i.e. Venice (a place the Turks failed to conquer) do not...

Music transcends all stalemates, be it political or cultural. The cultural commonalities far exceed the divisive factors that have cultivated the standoff amongst the two nations. And when you take a beautiful song like this and try to make it political you're defying the purpose of the art, which is to in fact bridge the two cultures by ways of common traditions. It is sad when both you pigheaded idiots take something so pure as this song and chose to fight over it...Get over it!!!

here is another theory about the song. During the Crimean war Irish soldiers came and settled in Uskudar. This song was one of their military songs. While they were playing this song people in Uskudar liked and modified to Turkish and Greek. So it is not anybody's it shared value of all humanity.

Like the last year, it is still waste of time to dispute where this song comes from.
Maybe a historian can find it out.
I realize a nice song different nations with complicated history have in common.
And to my fellow countrymen eastern of the Aegean/Ege denizi/Αιγαίο Πέλαγος: Watch your language and do not damage the reputation of Turkey by posting stupid and vulgar comments.
By the way: I heard this song when I lived in Istanbul/Konstandinoúpoli :).

@ Olafkarlson wir sind stolz auf dich. Weil dein Vater ein SS-Nazi war hahaha. @ Olafkarlson we are proud of you. Because your father was an SS Nazi. Sorry for your Mother. Because of the mass rapes of Scandinavian women.

This is a most beautiful song and interpretation. My Armenian friend at the Lycée in Beirut, Lebanon, taught me small pieces of the lyrics in 1956--those by the female interpreter! So, I've a word to the wise, music should bring people of different cultures closer to each other, not apart. To "askimati and boyfromblacksea, take a deeeeeeep breath and enjoy. Happy New Year!
