Why not ask the Ata of the Turks?
I don't have to go that far, a short walk to the South reveals it all...

I am not being sarcastic, I truly want to know...
It evolves from love for your parents/carers!
Still confused as ever, but eager to learn, young shah! That's what I like about you.

My parents are absolutely amazing, I was never a nationalist and never will be. I find it very backward.
I think you have to distinguish between people who were loved and raised by nationalist people and people who were loved and raised by normal people, I can see why that might confuse some people.
Still does not answer my question dear Oracle, just says a lot about how you might have been raised

Hope you'll stick around...Are you in Cyprus permanently?

I don't think you quite understood. You seem to think it evolves from something you are brainwashed with. Instead it is a natural consequence of feeling love for those who protect you. Subtle difference. Bit difficult for most Turks, I know.
