Lokum may be Arabiq word , derived from "lokma" which means mouthful.
So Greeks and Turks may be fighting for something which is not Greek or Turkish but Arabiq....it reminds me Turkish coffee - Greek coffee issue, tht coffee is Arabiq too

Right you are,dear karma,on both cases...

its all middle eastern and i think Greeks only adopted most of it because of the Ottoman empire however its only them who insist on adding the name of their country before each bloody thing....

whtever, it is still arabiq and both greeks n turks seem fool for something which doesnt belong to them..
Lokma is arabiq too but Lokmaci was an Armenian lokma maker..
so u see arabs brought the lokma to Cyprus, turks and greeks fighted for it and our armenian friend made the money

They're even arguing over cheese! I actually got an article with a dispute about Hellim while searching for Cyprus in the news.

well i am sorry but Turks have dozens of different kinds of fetas (as well as many other cheese), baklava, kebab, and yoghurt, i have not seen anything like that in Greece, nor in Cyprus, its always the same shitty feta and the same shitty yoghurt, specially in the TRNC hellim is pretty much the only cheese thats worth eating, the rest is either crappy Turkish export stuff or dodgy cheddar-like yellow stuff...
