Sinem ArslanGUEST
I mean, they have been educated in the United Kingdom, in United...
Sinem ArslanGUEST
I, I mean, to be honest, I find the, I f- I find Turkish Cypriots more educated than maybe the Turks.
Sinem ArslanGUEST
Uh, but I mean, what is the future for that? What, what, what-
Χριστόφορος ΧριστοφήHOST
W- what, what about the aspiration to join the European Union, Sinem? Isn't this something that they, they aspire to?
Todd NettletonHOST
And when you're there, the Turkish people, they aren't surprised that Westerners like me are Christians.
Todd NettletonHOST
In fact, many Turks think every single American is a Christian.
Todd NettletonHOST
That connection between religion and nationality applies to their own countrymen as well.
Todd NettletonHOST
They expect that if you are Turkish, you must be a Muslim.

So at the moment we're a bunch of foreigners who've all come to plant a church in Turkey.
Andy McCulloughGUEST
No Turks with us.
Andy McCulloughGUEST
Okay.
Andy McCulloughGUEST
We've all learned Turkish.
Andy McCulloughGUEST
It was really embarrassing.
Andy McCulloughGUEST
Really, like, really embarrassing.
Andy McCulloughGUEST
And no Turks.
Andy McCulloughGUEST
And so we're praying for our first Turkish person to get saved, right? It's like the Edinburgh guys going, very international, but no Scots.
Andy McCulloughGUEST
So anything that we thought, oh, this is exactly what Turkish people are going to want, right? Now, after which, by the grace and kindness and mercy of God, seeing our first kind of group of Turkish people come to faith and get baptised, They took me aside one day and they said, Pastor, you know that you're always saying this is a Turkish church and this is for us.
Andy McCulloughGUEST
Can we as Turks just tell you something? This building, we really don't like it.
Andy McCulloughGUEST
This venue, we don't like it.
Andy McCulloughGUEST
The vibe, we don't like it.
James FrankelGUEST
They speak a language that is related to modern Turkish even.
James FrankelGUEST
And many Turks that I know They actually credit the Uyghur.
James FrankelGUEST
They say the Uyghurs are our ancestors, that they are the true Uyghurs.
James FrankelGUEST
In terms of Turkish language and culture, they are more conservative
James FrankelGUEST
And, you know, all of these languages are related, but some have more Persian influence.
James FrankelGUEST
Some are more, you know, purely Altaic, you know, Asian.
James FrankelGUEST
And so the Turks are linguistically and culturally also related to the Mongols.
James FrankelGUEST
And the Mongols actually ruled over this entire vast region.
