[alp]

there is a new movie at the boxoffices in turkey : "kurtlar vadisi irak"

i understand that it is totally anti-american, anti-kurd, pro-iraq, pro-turkmen.

it will probably break all boxoffice records in turkey.

you should probably know "some" turkish.

it is very widely spoken in turkey, iran and north-iraq.

[dyaoko]

what is mingol ?

it is an ethinc, turks root is Mingol.

[alp]

turkish and mongolian do not stem from a genetic proto language.

they are similiar in agglutinative structure only.

and they have a lot of common vocabulary too.

[dyaoko]

oh ... but I undrestand nither Turkish nor mongolic ... and I am curious to read about the turkish thing that you posted about that movie.

"valley of wolves - iraq" has broken records in its first two days.

and has surpassed all top 5 turkish movies.

the film is being shown in a record 480 cinemas and tickets are sold out everywhere.

Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul said the movie named, Valley of the Wolves: Iraq, which was released on Friday, will not affect the relations between Turkey and the US.

Indicating that similar movies are shot in many other countries, Gul told,” The US and Europe produce these kinds of movies themselves. When you take a look at the movies made in the US last year, this movie will not be so significant”.

Meanwhile, the British daily, The Daily Telegraph, claimed the movie agitated anti-Americanism, emphasizing that Valley of the Wolves: Iraq is the most expensive Turkish movie. The newspaper announced that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s spouse, Emine Erdogan, also attended the film gala. Although the film-makers explained the scenario is imaginary and does not include any real accusations towards the US, there is not one American character the audience will like, the paper claimed. It indicated the movie affected the audience by quoting the words of an audience from Ankara who said, “Today I hated Americans more than ever”.

Turks love that kind of crap...but when you see some american blockbusters showing american saving the world and spreading freedom, it's the same!

In the most expensive Turkish movie, events start from Suleimani and Turks kill Peshmargas

London (TheKurdistani.com) – The first scenes of “Valley of the Wolves Iraq”, the most expensive Turkish movie ever made, starts from a location described to be the Kurdistani town of Suleimani, where 11 undercover Turkish spies were arrested by US forces in 2003.

I love the look of the peshmergas...never saw one so frightening personnaly, and I saw a lot of them... they look like saudis, it's a pity that with so much money spent on this film they did not hire some guy to teach them how to put a pushi in a correct way to look kurdish

I think this film is a good film, angry turk nationalist can take a revenge without arming anybody. IT's a bit like "Rambo": americans lost the vietnam war, but when they watch the film they can still think they won it

[malatyali]

It has its own site in english, turkish, arabic and kurdish. You can watch the film in kurdish too. by the way, one of the directors of the film Raci Sasmaz and one of the actors Abdulhey(his name in the film) are ethnic kurds. so there is no anti-kurdish element here. and the pesmergas. they are much more better than in real life. however, they do not have to fight them in real life. just bribing is fine. 200 dollars will get you anywhere in northern iraq.

[tomjez]
