[edit] Name of Turkey

I don't think it's a wise decision to paste the entire article from Name of Turkey to History of the Turkish People. Much of the original article of Name of Turkey actually does not talk about the "Turks" as an ethnic group, but about the NAMES that had been historically conferred on the land we now call "Turkey". I totally disagree with putting all this information under "History of the Turkish People". It is rather, about the land, or country, not about the people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bestlyriccollection (talk • contribs) 06:10, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Names of Turkey

The article "Names of Turkey" is not exactly about the history of the Anatolian Turkish nation, or the history of the citizenry of the Turkish republic, or about the Turkic family of peoples. The subject of the NAMES of the land we now call "Asia Minor" or "Anatolia" or "Turkey", is however strongly connected to the aforementioned histories of these different categories of people. However, it is PRIMARILY about the LAND. It is a land which not only has to do with the Anatolian Turkish Nation, but also to the Hittites, Byzantines and some others. This is the land that was referred to as "Rum" when it was ruled by the Seljuq Sultanate while Central Asians immigrate and mingled with a multifaith population that spoke tongues as diverse as Capadoccian Greek, Anatolian Turkish and other languages as well. Also, this is the land referred to as "Asia" or "The Orient" by the Byzantines and the Romans in a narrow sense. As we know it today, it is still "Anadolu", "Asia Minor" when we discuss of it in geographic terms. Although we did cease using names such as "Rum". Bestlyriccollection (talk)
