Two sides of a sea, as if the siblings. The two countries who eat dinner together with different foreign language. Two countries who lived together for centuries even the countries separate from each other their cultures their common heritage is their olive trees.
One of the Greece and the Turkey has many similarities are they both have common history in Ottoman Empire. The Greece ruled over by Ottoman Empire for our hundred years. Turkey was important piece of Ottoman Empire. Both countries have important long history.
Another one of their similarities, they both are on the Aegean Sea. Turkey’s west and Greece’s many islands, cities on the Aegean Sea. The history of wars and agreements between where given to Greece and other
half where given to Turkey.
Other similarities are there cultures. Both countries similarities are food culture, dance culture, musical cultures. Especially Turkey’s west with they have a common history. Both of the countries culture engaged together. Most of the important part of the Greece cuisines are olive and olive oil and Turkey’s west side of it. Turkey’s especially Aegean Sea part grows olive trees and uses olive oil for their dishes. Their common example of dishes is dolma, baklava, cacik, karniyarik, yogurt and most of the is olive foods. Both countries famous traditional alcoholic beverage is “Raki”. It’s a beverage made of anise that has a long history. In other ways they use common musical instruments and similar folklores. Greece’s folklore called Sirtaki and Turkey’s folklore called Zeybek.
The Turkey Republic is founder and first president Ataturk. He was born a Greece town. Both countries have just two differences, is religion and language. In the Greece mostly of people is Christian and lees people is Muslim. There are speaking modern Greek language. In the Turkey mostly of people are Muslim and less people is Christian. They are speaking Turkish. However, in Istanbul some Greek people still live and speak Modern Greek.
Finally, I think both countries not just neighbor countries. They have common culture inheritance and relative countries. From time to time even if they political problems, the peoples of the both countries also have strong friendship.
