hehehe Zekiye abla that was a good one, you mde my day(opps night)

Omer Faruk is kind of arrogant, I personally like humble artists, but his music is awsome. I dont like arabesk in gneral but Mahsun as a person different, at least, he is the least spoiled among those still preserves his Anatolian roots.

"Hepimiz Kardesiz" is a nice song of Mahsun's.

What part of Istanbul did you live? Shishli?

I met Zekiye abla on a movie set when I was little i was a gofer on the set.
I grew up on Radio so his program which he started with Merhabaaaaalar I never missed I like the old Turkish songs because my folks grew up in that enviroment and they liked it.Contemporary signger has to be Mahsun song 'Bizden degildir' A inspired song that hopes that evil thats commited is not by among us.Diaspora Turk favorite of mine is Omar Faruk Tekbilek .But my favorite muzik is of course Armenian Tradtional/Folk Muzik.
Allahaismarladiiiiik.

So most Armenians live around Shishli is that true?
nice places, do you miss?
My friend used to live in Caglayan, the scenary is awsome over there(I think Orhan Yamuk also lives around that area), Maiden tower on your left, topkapi up front and suleymaniye on your right.

Pamuk lives in Nisantasi I used to whiz around there in my first biycle,I only have childhood memorys I havent been back but i dont miss it because one cannot go back to their childhood if god willing I would like to visit Armenian highlands,Theres something there just pulls me to it which tells me western Turkey was just a temporary mekan for us The soil and stones of Armenia is what I yearn for.

[TurQ]

I dont know, it might be because there's so much of politics related to Armenia is going on. I believe your culture mostly stems from Istanbul and Istanbul Armenian culture.
I have read a news about Priest Kalayjian from DC, he and his church went to Turkey for a visit few years back, he said to his chuch members "what ever you have comes from this city(istanbul)"

Pamuk lives in Nisantasi I used to whiz around there in my first biycle,I only have childhood memorys I havent been back but i dont miss it because one cannot go back to their childhood if god willing I would like to visit Armenian highlands,Theres something there just pulls me to it which tells me western Turkey was just a temporary mekan for us The soil and stones of Armenia is what I yearn for.

[TurQ]

Actually whole world is a temporary mekan, in Ashik Veysel's words "Bu dunya Han konan gocer". Even the graveyards are temporary mekans, the real and everlasting mekans are in heereafter, thats the reality for all of us

which tells me western Turkey was just a temporary mekan for us The soil and stones of Armenia is what I yearn for.

[Gavur]

True, its all temporary and no one can quanch there thirst in this world .
as far as what we have the priest is wrong, through every road traveled good and bad leaves with us signs that will point to us to the true destination by being true to ourselves and crediting the Existor,(praise his name)
Thats why Armenia has true signicants to me.This is where our forefathers excepted and re-embraced the existor theefore our land is wholly and its what draws me to it.

Armenia Kicks Off With First Rehearsal

esctoday.com, Netherlands
May 11 2006

At 9:30 local time, the arena opened its doors to the press as the
first participant, Andre from Armenia, rehearsed on stage.

Esctoday.com collected some opinions about Without your love, the
stage and the venue itself as well!

'Armenian Sertab'

The "Armenian Sertab", as some journalists referred to him during
Andre's first rehearsal, brought four female dancers to Athens, as
well as a backing singer. While Andre is standing on a big box, his
four dancers are dancing around doing a "Houdini-alike chain act",
as Peter Walsh from the Irish Sunday World referred to the performance.

It took Andre a few times to get his ear monitoring right and to get
used to the stage. At his second try, things went much better and he
got awarded a nice applause from the present fans and journalists.

Worthless Musac

The ESC songs are mostly xxxxty, major, happy crap with no soul (I don't mean soul music).

I love the part when they say "...dix poins, douze points".

I bet this year like every year the Turkish side will say: "Bosnie douze points",
and the Bosnian side will say: "Turquie douze points".
Wanna bet, anyone?

Also the last couple of years Holland, Germany, France and Cyprus have given at least "dix poins" to Turquie. I wonder why
