As far as I have observed for my whole life, Turks are lacking sense of aesthetics. So only they can do and what they did was to adopt other's cultures. The Seldjuk and Ottoman architecture depended on the Armenian architects. The greatest architect of Turks; Mimar Sinan was an Armenian devshirme. The architects of the latest Ottoman palaces were the Balyan Family. Ottomans are only skillful to use people, they didnt even found a city. They sit on the ex-cultures.
Now, these Armenian architects are all gone. And how is Turkey right now? From my point of view; aesthetically disgusting. Lacking integrity and taste. A total waste. Can you imagine how they ruined the beautiful mountains of Trabezond. They built apartment buildings on the mountains. All the cities are unorganized and without plan. They are a total mess. The only beautiful buildings are from the past. They are work of art. So this isnt culture. If I may call it this is freak-culture and can drive a sane person crazy. It is a pity for Anatolia...
