History of Europe

"The Turkish names of Aegean and Agamemnon...", escaped the people across the street!

In a program of the pro-government CNN Türk, Erdoğan Karakus, a retired air force officer, can be heard saying, among other things, the following:"I want to say a word about a topic. On the subject of the Aegean and the word Aegean. It comes from the Akka Turks.

"The arrival of the Dorians in that area. Those we call Greeks today are all Dorians. Before the Dorians there were the Akkas. The word Aegean is fully derived from the Turks Aka. That is why it is not correct to say that it is a Greek word, it is not a Greek word.

"As you know in the Trojan War the name of King Agamemnon comes from the words Aga and glad, this Aga comes from the Akka Turks and has nothing to do with the Greeks". Note that these are not told in a comedy film, but in an analysis of a supposedly serious TV channel that is one of the biggest in Turkey...
