If you want to win a contest,go argue with someone else.Turkmen people and Turkmen places is a different thing, Kerkuk and Arbil are Turkmen cities ? are you kidding me, have you read the history of these cities to start with ? have you read about when Turkmens ( South Azerbijanis ) in Iraq’s case came to these cities ?
It’s not Arabification but Arabization, Arabization of Iraq is something complicated, it is influence from the Semetic Arabian tribes in the south over the language and culture partially, not a complete takeover or completely different people. Hence why today the Arabic language has many dialects with each having it’s own style/words of the pre Islamic era languages of those lands.
Kerkuk/Arbil were not really Arabized, this is a word used to describe the ba’ath era which had an Arabization policy to counter Kurds.
Did I deny that ?
I was speaking about cities, no Turkmen city it seems.
You know what you would like it to be, not what the truth it, explains why you aren't able to argue about it. So would you like me and others to play the same game about Turkey or are you a hypocrite ?
You read my avatar and i stand by it,Kerkuk and Erbil are Turkmen cities.
Go open a thread about it,i'm sure there are enough people who will argue with you about it.
