Nagyon-nagyon szép! A saz előtt lant szól?

@Hunfolker Nem, ud.

Pretty song, do not care about the ethnic origin of it. Ottomans were multicultural. Turkish, Greek, Jewish, Serbian...don't care. Beautiful.

@kurdtheworstsubhuman I think I said the romans conquered IN THE PAST PARTS OF WHAT IS NOW BUT WAS NOT BACK THEN, TURKEY, WHAT THE ROMANS CONQUERED IN THOSE PARTS WERE PROBABLY JUST SMALL KINGDOMS. AND OBVIOUSLY THEY DID NOT CONQUER YOU TURKS since you probably were not even there in that part of the world yet except maybe as traders. In fact the whole roman conquest thing happened centuries before the turks came into that area as conquerors. And I am not Italian at all! I am Scottish.

@3choBlaster Can I have your sources please?

@Lionactor The tune for this song was composed by a Scott, visiting the empire.

Hatti we're first, then Hittite, Troyan etc. Greeks and Persian conquered it later Roman/Persian and the Sulcuk Turk, and Ottoman Turk. Anyway .. Anatolia had many lords. But has been Turkiswh for nearly 1000 years now.

@blancbard This song is a Turkish song, it's copied by the Greeks just like songs like Canakkalle etc. The song was written by Turkish girls making fun of the Clerks who had to wear Scottish dresses in honor of a Scottish diplomat visiting (and military band). The Scottish band leader loved Turkish music so much he composed a song that he based on Turkish tunes in honor of the Sultan.

The Tune became popular and Turkish girls made a song for it. Then it spread trough the balkan

This song isnt Turkish... It is from Constantinoupolis/Instabul. There are both Greek and Turkish versions of it. /watch?v=Hk19hF-4FXs

@yamtartheturk And before the Romans conquered Anatolia, it was under the control of the Hattians, Akkadians, Assyrians and Hittites. Then it was also part of the Persian empire (I don't know if that was the precursor of the Ottoman empire though), Alexander the Great of Macedon conquered it. And if I am not mistaken there were Greek states at the very least on west coast of Turkey too. So generally that gives all of you turks quite an interesting ancestry.
