Shhh don't tell, they might change their mind.
They may also suffer mass hysteria if they'd ever learn where their crescent symbol originated from :wink:

Artemis, also known as the Roman goddess Diana, is often represented by the new moon and by symbols associated with her fierce and adventurous, yet distinctly feminine, nature.

...confidence. It is a matter of confidence; and "Turks" at present are pressing themselves (and their "way").

Indeed, what if the Turkish People rebound because they themselves find ways to improve their productivity significantly?

...Erdogan will deservedly enjoy the credit, if his bold move can sway them; indeed, should they pull themselves from the misery they are in this way (in two years), it will change the world.

All “mysterious” things visible in the heavens such as the sun, the moon, half moon, stars, and comets must’ve been used as symbols of deities by the very first people on the planet that congregated to form a community that led to a hierarchy and finally the origin of religion as a tool. <-- common sense

After that many more advanced civilizations; many of which predate Greeks, such as the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Mesopotamians and others, used the crescent moon and other solar symbols to represent Gods.

The Wiki has an entire list of civilizations (pretty much the whole planet) that had a moon deity…

So as can be seen, nobody can claim a monopoly on the symbol of a moon! :)

Çay required? New regulations for becoming a Turkish citizen in 2022

BY AHMET KOÇAK
ISTANBUL FEB 14, 2022 - 2:30 PM GMT+3

Becoming a Turkish citizen could bring many benefits with it, being able to boast a grand history of empires, free education and university, and full medical assistance. Well, who wouldn't want to be a Turk and settle down after seeing the vast beauty of Turkey? For those who want to be one though, the rules have slightly changed recently.

It's not about a monopoly but about who they got it from.

Origins of the symbol

However, the star and crescent iconography developed during the 4th and 1st centuries BCE, during the Hellenistic period most notably during the Kingdom of Pontus, the Bosporan Kingdom, and the city of Byzantium (later Constantinople).

The Turkic people also had a lunar God… it’s in the Wiki link.

That link is garbage. :)

The Wiki doesn't agree with the origin claimed by this blogger.

The Wiki is a long-term nonstop worldwide contribution of research (supported by evidence and citations) that has a much better chance of getting to the bottom of facts, than a 20 year old Turkish blogger!

So you can only laugh at yourself... :)
