ok so far so good
i would like to link you to the thread about our gypsies
www.anthroworldforum.com
so you can compare our gypsies to us ethnic kurds (non gypsies)
and i want to add this text from the gypsy thread because some people probably think i am making things up and that we dont have gypsies or that i am exeggerating their numbers . NO ......we have way more than you think .
:
most of my information i gathered on sites and videos that are in turkish language
here is a site that is in english language but the page doesnt exist anymore : http://www.domresearchcenter.com/news/turkey/marsh.html
but i saved some of it . it said :
"The Domari communities of eastern Turkey, like those elsewhere in the region, are one of the least known of all the Gypsy communities in the world. Largely absent from research carried out amongst Gypsy groups in the field of Romani Studies, the Dom of eastern Turkey have remained "hidden" from the view of the scholars and academics in the West since the letters of American missionaries in the late nineteenth century described in brief details their presence in these lands"
" In brief, the Dom of eastern Turkey are the most invisible of all the Gypsy groups."
According to ERRC's Turkey profile (2011-2012) , "the majority of Roma live in Western Anatolia, Thrace, in the Marmara region and the Aegean Sea region while the Dom and Lom groups mostly live in South Eastern and Eastern Turkey". Almost all the Roma in Turkey are Muslims.

classify our gypsies
there is a decent amount of gypsies living in kurdish areas as I said . many people actually dont know that and the numbers are not official but there are hundreds of thousands of gypsies in southeast/east turkey . our gypises are actually some of the most unknown I dont know how to classify...
