Iran: Ancient Civilization

Iran: Ancient Civilization Book Description

Iranian. It is a country so close to us that it can truly be called a 'brother'. We Turks came to Anatolia via Iran. We learned the Islamic religion from Iranian clerics, we took many terms in our language from Persian, our poets, intellectuals and courtiers wrote in Persian for centuries. Our carpets, tiles, miniatures and decorative arts are almost exactly the same as Iran's. Our national traditions, food, hospitality are the same as Iran. Our speaking style, excitement and emotionality bring us closer to Iranians than Europeans. Imagine saying 'dear' in a Western language - reflecting the deep emotional meaning that this expression has? In Persian you say 'can-ı men', in short 'canem'. Even though bodies are separate, hearts are one with Iran. The reason is simple: The Anatolian lands we live on were many times within the borders of ancient Iranian empires; On the other hand, Iran was ruled by Turkish noble dynasties for centuries.
