Ataturk … his portrait at least, was everywhere in Turkey … his mausoleum in Ankara was HUGE (fit for the father of modern Turkey) but many here on MEMO believe he was a Jew or a ‘donmeh’ crypto-Jew … lol
My host in Istanbul found me interested in backgammon … which is played obsessively throughout the country … I can’t say whether he was a Kurd (I assumed he was a Sunni Turk) … his wall displayed a new rug of Mecca with the Kaaba
So … you’re a son of Turks living in Europe?
