True, however the "Turkish republic" is not ever 100 years old, the Tulum is way much older then that...

It is a instrument of the sth Black Sea region (Northern Turkey).

WE ARE GREEK PONTIANS!

Not Laz, nor turkish...WE ARE GREEK!

[sazji]

Oh come on folks let it go for chrissake. The tulum is all around the Mediterranean. Who knows who first brought it to the Black Sea? Does it matter? Greeks play beautiful kementze. The Turks from there are amazing dancers. Why not just learn from each other instead of endless idiotic fighting. Malakes and Salaklar, you deserve each other.

But I'm Laz. And I'm happy that you say, you are not Laz. Thanks for that. Leastwise we was able to guard our name.

[shekerdzhiev]

Thank you.

[metintevetoglu]

he's not mentioning turks by saying "our". he's probably a laz like me, from northeast turkey or ancient lazica-lazistan-or-colchis. so laz have been blowing tulum for thousands of years like u do.

[vasili33]

Thanks sazji. Doesn't matter the origins, because none of us were around when it started so we can't claim it! When you can dance like that dancer, play tulum like that player, then you can be proud. But this cheap nationalistic talk, it's very easy, nothing to be proud of. And meaningless.

That was the only one that you didnt steal from Turks.You are thieves.
