Being turkish means to delay all work to due date.But you have already known what I meant because thats why fenerbahçe make comeback from 20 pts margin in last quarters or why Hedo Türkoğlu known as mr last quarter.

Being Turkish is like living on a bridge.You're close to all the sides but are not any of them. You're European but not,from Asia but not exactly,similar to Greek but not the same,knowing Middle East but not understanding it exactly. Mostly a sunny, excited Mediterranean soul,but sometimes a cold,stormy Black Sea personality.
Being Turkish is a unique combination of what surrounds us.A perfect mixture of food,relegion,cultures,nature,history but not any specific one of them exactly. :)

Turkish people are unique creatures. We are those who flick lighter to check if there is any gas leakage, we are those who make 2 diets in a day because 1 doesn't make us full up and we are those who poses as a man thinking with a trash in his hands in front of a signboard telling "Please think before you throw away." We know how to live this life in the way we want to. We are a little bit crazy and that's what makes us special. I'm in love with everything in this country and the loyalty that its people have, to their country.

Being Turkish is like having 70 million sisters and brothers.Like all siblings sometimes we are having problems with eachothers too.But when we see a threat to our family,our home we all come together and protect it at any cost.Thats what family do right?

If you understand what Atatürk told in the past and if you learn many many things from his thoughts so you are real Turkish.

"If you being Turkish.You must be speak Turkish."
Of course I will write this paragraph in Turkish. If i am Turkish i must speak Turkish. First rule of being turkish 👍
Türk olmak benim için tarih,yemek,insan demektir. Aslında hepsi birbiriyle bağlantılı şeyler. Türk mutfağı benim gözümde 100lerce yıl öncesine dayanan bir olgu. Sende bir kaç senedir Turkiyedesin ve ne kadar zengjn oldugunu ister istemez fark etmişsindir. Sokaktaki simit,döner, fırından çıkan sıcak ekmek kokusu türkü türk yapan birbirine bağlayan unsurların basinda gelir. Osmanlıdan yana ulasan bu mutfagi cok azimiz bilmekle beraber bilenlerin sayisida bir elin parmagini gecmiyor. Ulke bu durumdayken aslında cokta uzakmak istemiyorum. Herkesi ortak bir paydada bulusturup uyandirmak lazim. "Gecmisini bilmeyen gelecegini bilemez" lafida sanirim bu kadar degerli esere sahip olup hic kitap okumayan bu uyuyam topluma yakisir bir soz.
That's it. Have a nice day ✌

Ahhh, you've asked a hard question Ekpe.
I will try to describe what it means to be Turkish, with the exception of our current depressed mood after all the recent events and try to combine the things from past that shaped us into our Nationality today.
Eventhough I am a Daçka Fan, I try to come to your games & support Fenerbahçe as much as possible, believe me; I wished nothing more than FB winning the Euroleague last year and also cheered for Galatasaray when they won the Eurocup couse what it means to be Turkish is to be proud of every accomplishment of our representatives no matter if they'd be the team that your heart belongs to or your rival.
It means to be brave, to have courage and uniting despite our differences, neither to be a fully European nor a Middle eastern, a developing nation through the path that Atatürk has shown, compassionate, hospitable, generous in heart eventhough they wouldnt have anything valuable to give but always has a tea to offer, sometimes superstitious and traditional, passionate about things & ideas they defend, humane, clever enough to get themselves out of problematic situations, quick-witted, belongs to a long history and slowly but learning from their mistakes, making long lasting friendships & relationships all around the world, gracious, grateful and always try to help eventhough they wouldnt really know the real solution.

Hope you see us like that too and enjoy living amongst us despite all the unfortunate events thats been taking place. We sure are lucky to have you here.

Peace & Love,
