Yeah we Ahiska see much of his love for Turks
Everyone has some kind of nationalism but when Turks do it its evil/anti-islamic or something like that......
Two extreme poles here......
I dont really like Erdogan but he isnt the devil like some portray him here that said the other opinion (Ahmet) is even more dumb.
Erdogan is neither the devil nor Jesus himself he makes good and really bad decisions
Sadly being ignored by Turkey that much made some of us get a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome were they tell each other Stalin wasnt that bad and how Cossaks are nice people
Being Turkic doesnt mean that they are Ottoman (Cumans and Kyptchaks are perfect examples)
Also you forgot how the Ottoman Empire had full scale wars against other Turkic states/empires
His ancestors name was Basarabai which is Turkic (Cuman/Pecheneg)
I wouldnt count Timur as Mongolian since...
