why what is wrong with the TRNC flag?

Image

The fact that GCs call it pseudo-flag doesn't really make it less of a flag, does it?

Nothing wrong with the flag arkadash. I just don’t want to have to go through: " well the TRNC is not recognised therefore...yada yada yada"

Mayor Ken Livingston wouldn't even let Northern Cyprus businesses advertise on London buses and the underground for fear of upsetting the London GCs. If any of the administrators read this and think it would be possible to get the flag I would be proud to use it.

The ban has been overruled...
Ban on Cyprus posters overruled

OK, in order to be fair to those GCs that might feel upset, let us post some other "pseudo" flags:

Kurdistan

Nagorno-Garabagh

I am expecting reactions from Turks on these :-)

Welcome back. The insult goes " At least I know who my father is" it does not work with mother. Nice try though.

They are nice, but I expected they would be in kurdish. I had a kurdish friend from Sweden, and she was accusing Ibrahim Tatlises of just taking kurdish traditional songs, translating them into turkish and the next day they are a hit in Turkey. :-)
I like Tek Tek by Ibrahim Tatlises, otherwise I am not really keen on traditional folk music.

What a thing to accuse someone of. Well done Ibrahim. I've never really been one for Turkish music as I grew up in England in the Eighties soul movement. Jazz funk, Jazz soul or just plane old soul was our scene. George Benson , Herb Albert, Luther Vandros, Roy Ayers, Evelyn King, Third World and one of my favourites, the group SLAVE.

I also love classical, and if you haven’t seen the show “Les Miserables” go see it.
Lately how ever the sound of the saz and traditional folk music moves me to tears. Have you ever checked out the words and meaning for the old song “Havada bulut yok”

I also am looking for, I think its Bulgarian women singing what the Turks used to call Gazel music

"Bulgarian voices are almost a mystery. There seems to be no explanation of the incredible range of the Bulgarian voice. Its unique sound was universally acknowledged when the popular Rhodopean song "Izlel e Delyu Haidutin", sung by the talented singer Valya Balkanska, was recorded on a gold record then sent as a message to outer space on the American space station Voyager in 1977. "

It is from my region, the Rhodope mountains. http://www.abvg.net/Music/delyu.mp3

Enjoy!

You see bg_ if that sound doesn't typify Greek, Turkish Bulgarian or in fact the entire regions music then I don’t know what does. I am so glad that the Ottomans let such cultures and music not only survive in their own right but they allowed it into their own culture and I am finding more and more of it each day. Thanks mate. More please.
