What is behind the goal of Turkey to appear as being European.
An effort that goes back as far as the mid 1800s.
A very enlightening book by a couple of Armenian authors signing with the common nick-name Zarewand, published in the US in 1926. Reveals the real intentions behind their effort which have not changed since, as one realises by reading the book, especially the chapters related to the development of the build up, by Turkish scholars, of the "European" idea in Turkey.
The actual intention to "turkicize" Europe by infesting it ("Avrupa Kafali, Turk Kalbli" = European head, Turkish heart, page 58). Enjoy.
