@Dr24404145 @GermanosPeter كان لي فرصه أن أطلع على فقط الصناعات البحريه الحربيه في تركيا.... لا اتكلم عن أي صناعات أخرى كالمسيرات الخ....
شئ مخيف بالفعل. دون أي مبالغه

[Nabil Assir🇳🇱🇱🇧 @NabilAssir]

@GermanosPeter نعم لكن انظر الى مساحة إسطنبول وتضاريسها. وما يتخللها... المقارنه غير منصفه

@RaniaKhalek @Berisha901 Like what.
They already have the south. Now it's announcements and counter announcements.
They can announce a settlement or a project down south. That's enough to Torpedo anything.

@JohnnyNash77 I keep wondering if it was well plotted as a trap and when the moment came they'd let him fall for it. At any rate let's not forget who got him into all this...

Madame,
Merci pour votre présence au Liban.
Permettez toutefois à un Libanais d'exprimer un certain scepticisme. Depuis des décennies, nous voyons défiler missions, envoyés spéciaux, rapports et résolutions. Les violations sont documentées avec précision, les victimes sont comptées, les destructions sont photographiées... puis la vie continue, comme si de rien n'était.
Le problème n'est plus de savoir ce qui se passe au Liban. Le monde le sait déjà. La vraie question est : que fera-t-il de ce qu'il sait ?
Documentez tout. Préservez les preuves. Donnez une voix aux victimes. Mais surtout, faites en sorte que ce rapport ne rejoigne pas la longue bibliothèque des rapports que les Libanais ont appris à lire avec intérêt, puis à oublier avec résignation.
Bon courage pour votre mission.

@Parse_ir They've certainly surprised everybody.

[Nabil Assir🇳🇱🇱🇧 @NabilAssir]

Dit is belachelijk. Dit moet stoppen. En wel nu. Het is nog niet te laat om achtergrondchecks uit te voeren, deportaties in te voeren, een algeheel moratorium af te kondigen op alle asielaanvragen en niet-professionele immigratie, of specifieke talentvereisten voor vacatures binnen bedrijven te beperken. Iets. Wat dan ook. In godsnaam. Deze passiviteit is vragen om problemen.

[Nabil Assir🇳🇱🇱🇧 @NabilAssir]

Difference is in the mentality. I wonder if religion, and simply adhering to its teachings as a foundation for strategic thinking, cause a kind of isolation and clinging to a principle that may be unsuitable for the current era?

Turkish: A Turkçe Language with an Arabic and Persian Soul
A Surprising Linguistic Discovery
Many visitors to Turkey are surprised by how many Turkish words sound familiar to Arabic speakers.
Words such as hayat (life), zaman (time), insan (human being), kitap (book), tarih (history), sebep (reason), tesadüf (coincidence), hasret (longing), harika (wonderful), and even eyvallah are all of Arabic origin.
The result is a fascinating linguistic landscape in which a language that belongs to the Turkic family carries the imprint of centuries of interaction with Arab and Persian civilizations.
How Much Arabic Is There in Turkish?
According to figures commonly cited from the Turkish Language Association (TDK), modern Turkish dictionaries contain approximately 6,463 Arabic-origin words.
That represents about 6.2% of the recorded vocabulary, making Arabic the single largest source of foreign-derived words in modern Turkish.
While everyday spoken Turkish remains overwhelmingly Turkic in structure and grammar, Arabic vocabulary appears throughout education, literature, religion, administration, law, philosophy, and daily conversation.
Arabic Words Turks Use Every Day
Many Turkish speakers use Arabic-origin words constantly, often without realizing their origins.
Examples include:
Hayat — Life
Dünya — World
Zaman — Time
Tarih — History
Kitap — Book
Kalem — Pen
Sebep — Reason
Fikir — Idea
Akıl — Mind
Cevap — Answer
Mesele — Issue
Adalet — Justice
Devlet — State
Millet — Nation
Siyaset — Politics
Ticaret — Commerce
Şükür — Gratitude
Sabır — Patience
Merhamet — Compassion
Muhabbet — Affection
These words are so deeply integrated into Turkish that they are often perceived as fully native.
The Persian Influence
Arabic was not the only influence.
Modern Turkish dictionaries also contain roughly 1,300–1,400 Persian-origin words.
Examples include:
Pencere — Window
Çarşı — Bazaar
Bahçe — Garden
Dost — Friend
Renk — Color
Can — Soul
Köşe — Corner
Perde — Curtain
Hoş — Pleasant
Şehir — City
Persian influence was especially strong in literature, poetry, court culture, and refined expression.
The Hidden Story: Arabic Through Persian
The picture becomes even more interesting when we realize that many Arabic words entered Turkish through Persian.
For centuries, Persian served as a cultural and literary bridge between the Arab and Turkic worlds.
As a result, thousands of Arabic terms were transmitted, adapted, and absorbed into Ottoman Turkish through Persian usage and pronunciation.
This explains why Turkish vocabulary often feels familiar to both Arabic and Persian speakers.
The Ottoman Linguistic Synthesis
Historians sometimes summarize Ottoman Turkish with a famous phrase:
"Turkish grammar, Persian aesthetics, and Arabic vocabulary."
While simplified, the statement captures an important truth.
The language of the Ottoman Empire was neither purely Turkish, Arabic, nor Persian. It was a remarkable synthesis of all three traditions.
Turkish provided the grammar.
Persian contributed literary elegance.
Arabic supplied much of the religious, scholarly, legal vocabulary.
Language Reform and Modern Turkey
Following the establishment of the Turkish Republic, major language reforms sought to replace many Arabic and Persian words with Turkic alternatives.
Thousands of foreign-derived terms were removed from official usage or gradually replaced.
Yet despite a century of reform, Arabic and Persian remain deeply embedded in modern Turkish.
The historical connection proved too extensive to erase completely.
A Final Reflection
The story of Turkish
is the story of centuries of trade, scholarship, religion, literature, empire, and cultural exchange across the Middle East and Central Asia.
Modern Turkish remains unmistakably a Turkic language.
Yet hidden within its vocabulary are thousands of words that still carry echoes of Baghdad, Damascus, Isfahan, Konya, and Istanbul.
Few languages illustrate the meeting of civilizations quite as beautifully as Turkish.
