<<Turkish is a national language in: Turkey, Cyprus, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Bulgaria,and the Republic of Macedonia. >>
Sander, Where did you get that crap? Turkish is not a national language in neither Bulgaria, nor the Republic of Macedonia.

Probably he was referring to the Ottoman Empire where these countries were part of it's terriority.
La "république turque de Chypre du nord" n'existe pas : elle n'est reconnue par personne à part la Turquie.
Et « Selçuk » — ou celui (ceux) qui se cache(nt) derrière ce pseudo — est un troll : propos orduriers, xénophobes & racistes.

He probably got his information from Wikipedia, which states this: "Official language of: Turkey, Cyprus, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Bulgaria (national language), Republic of Macedonia (municipal language)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_language This could be erroneous information, so don't take it as fact. Keep in mind that "national language" doesn't necessarily mean "official language".

Whatever it means, it's wrong. There aren't even any Turks in Macedonia.
If Finno-ugric languages are a bridge from Turkic languages to Indo-European ones, then clearly it was a bridge too far. Just try learning a Finno-ugric language! There are clearly similarities between the Turkic and Finno-ugric though.
I like some aspects of Turkish culture and some of their food, but I still think it is a shame that Constantinople fell to them...although they treated it fairly well in the circumstances.
""Alfred E. Neuman
I wonder how "great" the Armenians thought the Ottoman Empire was. "" Hey, Alfred.If you knew just a little about Europe's history, you would know how "great" The Ottoman was!You Europeans are lack of your history, or you are shameful to discuss about your past!
Selçuk,
Clearly isn't Turkish.Even the most nationalistic Turks would be shamed of the genocide in Armenia.
Turkey has never won any war in modern history. The ancestors of the Turks were defeated by the Mongolians. That's it. They are losers.
Les Turcs ont quand même pris Constantinople en 1453 puis assiégé Vienne en 1529 et en 1683 ! C'est pas négligeable.
The greatest empire was the empire of My people the Tuatha Dé Danann! Just kidding. It's hard to say which empire was the greatest but I'd say Rome or the British or Ancient China (though the Chinese didn't care much about expansion). These empires (especially Victorian Britain) influenced the world like no other. A question: How long do you guys think English would remain lingua franca of Earth? Do you think it'll wane at all? Or will it die rapidly when the US is no longer the first superpower?(not that I'm hoping this would happen).

Are we going to discuss history rather than language ?
( Is my line grammatically correct ? )
Apparently. And yes, you're grammatically correct.
