Your local Ottoman efendi. Moustache, frock coat and fez. I drink from the Cup of Jamshid and write poems in rose gardens.
Well now that I have a bit more spare time, I’ll try to be more active here. Also thinking about moving my biggest threads here too so they won’t get lost in this mess that became that "other social media"

Three Ottoman Greek deputies of the Vilayet of Manastir. From left to right : Haris Vamvaka, Dimitri Dingas and Yorgi Boşo.
Yorgi efendi is famous for the ironic sentence he delivered during a speech at the Ottoman Parliament in 1909: “I am as Ottoman as the Ottoman Bank”

According to D. Kelekian, in Ottoman Turkish, بازرکان (bazirgân) which means “merchant”, “trader”, was also a title equivalent to “sir” given to Jews.

Finally got the chance to join ! This feels so empty for now and I don’t know where to start (should I transfer my threads from Twitter ?). Anyway I’m incredibly glad to be here to talk about Ottoman history and literature !
