cool work
I really think it's high-time to build up a "Frequently Asked Questions & Their Answers" part.
So whenever a new comer steps in with mouthful crap on Turkey, we can simply give the link or copy-paste the relevant answer. *WINK*

For the record, not every country calls it turkey (the bird) .
In Greece for instance we call the bird gallopoula. We never thought it may come from France as is defined by the translation (gallo= franc, poula=bird).
Hmmm, so in Greek this bird is from France really! We never gave it a thought :) Compres vous?
So my point is turkey (the bird) has no connection w Turkey (the country) as it's just an American name for the bird.
Parlez vous Francais (or is all Greek to me)?

I protest çetin for double standard against the question of whether or not Turkey is in the EU. That's what we really want to know!

Hmmm, I'm still confused. Why is turkey named turkey, again? Also, is Turkey European and if not what is Cyprus? And where does the Southern Cyprus delight come into the equation? What is the meaning of life and do you think Monty Python got it right?
Ahhh! My confusion gets bigger and bigger!
Oh, and I protest everybody for getting a good laugh today. Including me. <|:P

Interesting suggestion, Suriyah. In french the turkey is called "la dinde" and d'Inde means "from India". Maybe turkey the animal was originally from India. Now where did the turks originally come from?
