OK, who can enlighten me ?
I saw this graffito on my into Sirkeci Gar the othger week
"TEK DIN
TEK BAYRAK
TEK VATAN"
"Din" and "Vatan" are the same as in Arabic (Faith and Nation), but what is ""Bayrak"
I assume this is a nationalist slogan like the ancient Bulgarian one
EDIN NAROD, EDIN EZIK, EDNA VYARA" (One people, one language, one faith) |

bayrak is flag
they mean one religion ( islam), one flag ( no federation , a kurdish or another separate country), one motherland |

nationalists. there are so many different kind of nationalists in Turkey
1. They live in Anatolia, very faithful,pray 5 times a day and love their country. usually vote for B.B.P some for MHP
2. The ones in big cities not very faithful and being a Turk is more important than being a Muslim.
3. The ones between the first two groups, but they became nationalistic after PKK b*stards.
4. Born from a nationalistic family and have never thought why they are like this. |

It is Italian not Latin.
Grafito is singular
Grafitti is plural
Not sure if it is with single t or double t |
