SDLP 110: Cultural Post 5

[Constantinos Beauclair-Kolomtsas]

My cultural project is going to be on Turkish towns and cities and their names compared to their Greek names. I have always wanted to travel through Turkey. I believe that we share very similar cultures and that we have more similarities than differences despite a tumultuous history. I have noticed that some Turkish cities' and towns' names resemble the Greek names for those towns and so I would like to present all the different towns and cities in Anatolia with similar namesakes and their history. I want to focus on towns and cities that are not well known to most, so I will avoid presenting on cities like Istanbul and Izmir. I think this will show how closely my mother language and culture is linked with Turkish language and culture.
