Root of ethics and faith may be found in much more complex civilisations than ancient Hebrews. Because most of the ancient Jewish teachings are either from Egyptian origins (for example Sirus and Osiris myth, the teachings of Akhenaten etc.) or Babylonian origins (the creation myths, Enuma Elish, etc.). Hebrews have learned and synthesized the information they gained from their exile in Babylonia, their exodus from Egypt and their interactions with other Middle Eastern societies such as Hittites (for example Uriah the Hittite) according to many historians.....

No, Beylerbeyi was right actually, altough Persian has always been a major language of influence for Ottoman "Divan" poetry, the language was Ottoman Turkish. But the folk poetry was always Turkish, in its purest Anatolian form.

Ottoman Turkish is Turkish, not Persian. Persian was considered a refined language, for gentlemen. But calling it the language of culture in the Ottoman Empire is going too far.

i just posted about 10 sources of how turks adopted the iranian language in some form and shape.

and if you refuse to believe what im telling you now, atleast believe this:

ottoman literature and poetry was from the persian model, and because they were of the persian model, the turkish language also had to incorporate many many persian words to make up for what the turkish language lacked when writing in the persian literary style.

it is said that there were so many arabic and persian words in the turkish language (the same turkish language that you guys are saying had nothing to do with persian, let alone the persian that was spoken on its own) that it took ataturks government months to find replacement words, and even after that they ended up keeping some.

also, so many turkish words were forgotten that the turkish government had to go back and look into old turkic works from central asia just to remember what they used before persian and arabic.

see, when i say that so many turks are forgetting their own history just because a nationalist like ataturk came with a vengeance and wiped it all out, its the truth.

its amazing how well ataturk reformed turkish education and society if you guys dont even remember how it was 90 years ago.

What is the importance of the Gokturk empire?

i have heard of them but i dont know anything about them.

would you explain, i dont even think they are well known outside of the turkic countries.

i agree, but i dont want a person exactly like ataturk. i dont want iran to be purged of it its outside influences, i dont want us to change everything so we can "look" western, and i dont want pan iranism to happen.

i just want a leader who cares about iran more than anything else, not a leader that will destroy irans culture, and history, like ataturk did.

ataturk effectively cut of turkey its ottoman history, why? just because they lost one war? if you ask me, that did a lot of damage, and his nationalistic teachings is having effects that we can see today.
