Türkiye is a patient from Europe, where women separate from men because they did not fetch coffee
Turkey has supported Pakistan amid growing tensions between India and Pakistan, which strengthened the ‘boycott -turkey’ campaign against Turkey in India. Every Indian is now trying to get this country out of its daily life. But do you know that Türkiye is not only part of political controversies, but also has a special identity in the world because of history, culture and unique traditions? Come on, let’s know some interesting things about Türkiye, which you may have never heard before. Türkiye: Why is the ‘patient’ called Europe? Türkiye is a country that is geographically located on the continent of Eurasia. Some part of it is in Europe and is the bulk in Asia. Therefore, it is also called the bridge between Asia and Europe. But in history, Turkey has often seen conflicts and political uphill and downhill, giving the Western world a “patient from Europe” or “patient of Europe”. Türkiye was part of very powerful empires in history. It was part of the Persian Empire in 530 BC, and then came under the Greek, Masidonian (the empire of the great Alexander) and the later Islamic Empire. Türkiye was occupied by the Usmani (Ottoman) Empire until the 16th century, the greatest and powerful Muslim rich of that time. But over time, the luxury and atrocities of the emperors have weakened this great empire. That was why it was called ‘Patient of Europe’ because it was once powerful, but gradually weakened. The interesting story of tea and coffee in Turkey is very deep. About 96 percent of people drink tea daily and one person drinks 5 to 10 cups of tea a day. The tradition of drinking Turkish tea is so famous that it has become a cultural identity there. But do you know that Turkish coffee is also very famous? Coffee began in Türkiye in the 16th century and became a special drink there. An interesting thing, however, is that Turkish women even separated from their husbands due to coffee. Actually, women believed that the man who claimed coffee did not listen to tea and ignored his wives. Not only that, there was a time when women in Türkiye could separate from their husband just because they couldn’t bring them coffee. It may sound strange to hear, but it is completely true and provides a unique look at the social and cultural traditions of Türkiye. The beautiful geographical and cultural form of Türkiye is counted among the most beautiful countries in the world. The geographical form is extremely diverse and attractive -beach, mountains, historical cities and UNESCO World Heritage areas decorated here. In the cultural heritage of Türkiye, an incredible mix of Islamic, Roman, Greek and Ottoman civilization is found, making it unique. The markets, mosques, palaces and roads here take the depth of history. Turkish food, music and dance also attract tourists. Political controversy and ‘Baycott Türkiye’ Türkiye’s growing political relationship with Pakistan in India has become a matter of concern in India. The ‘Bycot Turkish’ campaign is underway on social media in India and people boycott Turkish products, tourism and even films and cultural programs. This campaign is the result of increasing political distances between Türkiye and India. However, this political situation and dispute in Türkiye could not reduce its rich history and cultural heritage. Conclusion Türkiye is a country that is full of history, culture, politics and unique social traditions. It is called the ‘patient’ of Europe because it was once powerful and is now struggling with many internal challenges. The interesting stories associated with tea and coffee here reflect its cultural depth. While Türkiye is currently the center of political disputes, historical and cultural heritage will always remain a source of attraction for the world. If you are interested in history and culture, this story of Türkiye will be very interesting to you. 4.1-Mini
