@aleskmace You're right. This is clearly the same piece. The only thing I hate about it is that damn disco-beat in the Güler Işık version. It would have been awesome without that fucking synth beat which artists use to make traditional music more "appealing" to youngsters. I can only nod my head in disapproval as I don't like that at all. Still, pretty cool, although I like the fact that the version in the RTW soundtrack is a bit faster. Greets from Romania.

@aleskmace It's a kurdish song faggot. Make your own culture and do not steal others culture.. you have already stolen their land, thief.
-
:D :D you got the logical error mr turkish. I said it is turkish because the song is singed turkish and guler isik is a citizen of turkey. This was enough for a person to say it is turkish. However, if it is really a kurdish song, dont get me wrong and dont blame me; I didn't try to get thumbs up and make poor you feel under impression. Also, don't push yourself to write long descriptions and don't use opprobrius words while you try to write your comments academical. that is not cool at all ^^

@aleskmace As for me having a grudge against Turks; I am Turkish myself. :) My parents are from Afyon, they're Yörüks. Bearing a grudge against Turks would mean that I bear a grudge against myself and my family. It's funny how you confuse my answer to a debate with your ignorance of the difference between discussing the cultural elements that distinguish Turks from Kurds and inciting on public sectarianism/separatism.
-
@aleskmace So, to not confuse you any further, I wasn't pissed off. I was merely trying to raise attention, consequent to what some people said under this clip, regarding the true origins of the song. I didn't try to negatively flip up the ideal of keeping the mutual bond and prosperity between the vast majority of Turkish and Kurdish people, which they seem to enjoy, even though certain internal (unrealistic Kemalism) and external (the PKK) conditions still seem to derogate this.

@aleskmace My point was one of cultural intention, reverting to the cultural diversity within the borders of the Turkish Republic, which its founders so strongly tried to smother as late as the 80s (which is still being denied, if we look at the Kurds' cultural rights (Kurdish education)), since it's ridiculous to state that the song is ''Turkish''. As you might have read it; it does not contain any vulgar use of otherwise perfectly good words or any insults towards you or your ilk.

@aleskmace Congratulations on missing the entire point. I was referring to you, as you were referring the melody of this song to another ''Turkish'' song, the one by Guler Isik. As you may or may not know, the use of the adjective ''Turkish'' is much older than the one used by the founders/keepers of the failed Turkish republican Kemalist ideology, to describe the so-called cultural axioma of all peoples/tribes living within the borders of the country, known by the name of Turkey.

I loved listening to this when I was playing as The Greek Cities and fighting the Macedonians in Thessaloniki and Bylazore. I was reading about a group of archeologists from FYROM and the USA who have now found remnants of the old city of Bylazore and are now excavating it -quite interesting. Its a shame to see all the arrogant comments on this page proclaiming this type of music as their country's "own". Music is international - instruments are made all over the world. Get over your pride.
