Srbija
Draga dragom šapnula...
Sinoć san sam usnula...
Ratnik neki veliki...
krstaš barjak viori
Zastava je vatrena
Iz borbe doneta
Okrete se ka meni
Tvoj me pogled skameni
Ustaj dragi vreme je, Srbija te sad zove!
Ja ću kuću čuvati, ti se nemoj plašiti!
Tvoje reči ljubavi...
Tinjaju i u meni!
Idem, draga, ne brini
Srbiju ću braniti!
Decu našu čuvaj mi!
Istinu im prenesi!
Život neću žaliti!
Srbiju ću spasiti!
Novo vreme dolazi, vreme prave ljubavi!
Ustali su svi Srbi, daju život Srbiji!
S njive seljak govori:
Srbiju ću hraniti!
A i radnik prozbori:
Okove ću razbiti!
Srpska vojska govori:
Sveti Savo, pomozi!
Sveti Srbi sa Savom
Molitvu su vazneli!
Pomozi nam Bože Ti, podaj život Srbiji!
Grehove nam oprosti i spasenje podari!
Sa njim ili na njemu
I po Božjem zakonu!
I ja idem u borbu
Za Srbiju voljenu!
Samo sloga spašava!
Al’ i spremnost čelična!
Otadžbina Srbija,
Porodica velika!
Pokreni se Srbine, za život Srbije!
Celo Srpstvo diglo se, za život Srbije!
Pokreni se Srbine, za život Srbije!
Celo Srpstvo diglo se, za život Srbije!
Celo Srpstvo diglo se, za život Srbije!

M-Ray's Improvised Report on Turkishness of Balkans
Bulgarians did most of the killings and Greeks lower in comparison, Serbs killed Turks too but they were mostly focused in killing Albanians and Bosnians as far as I know. Turks mostly lived in northeast Bulgaria and Dobruja and Vardar region, east of today's Macedonia and Southern Macedonia today's Greek Macedonia and western Thrace. The population majorities were cut off. For example Turks were heavy majority in western Thrace but not majority in eastern Thrace (they were about 45%). Turks were also majority in northeast Bulgaria and Dobruja. But it changed in 1878 wars and there were Turks in Serbian cities like Niš. But these Turks left coz Serbia got independent in 1878. There were many killings in this war and it built up even more pressure and ethnic tension. In Balkan wars even more Turks were killed but after that there weren't any Bulgarians left in eastern Thrace, Turks killed all Bulgarians. I wasn't actually talking about the killings but I was talking about the general Turkish identity in Balkans. After Turkey was founded Muslim became Turk. Though you were not ethnically Turk, you started to get identified as one. You must know Yugoslav census results. There are Turks in Bosnia well into the 80s, that's the time they got more into this Bosniak identity.
The Islam had created an identity, even though you were not ethnically a Turk, you were calling yourself Turk. I love how it gathered people around it. Though, the people were mixed in the past 600 years. Either they chose Islam by force or will. All of the Turks with Balkan background must have at least some Pomak, Macedonian, Bulgarian, Greek, Albanian etc ethnicity in them. Some have fully. When people migrated after Balkan wars and world War one, turkey didn't ask them if they knew Turkish or not. Many Bosniaks, Pomaks, Macedonians and Albanian speakers came as well.
The Balkan Turks were always the ruling and most concerning people of Ottomans because Ottoman sultans were like this people over the years of taking many Slavic wives. The revolutions happened in Balkans, the uprisings happened in Balkans, Armenians didn't even do any revolts till 1878 war. There wasn't a significant minority in Western Anatolia (Greeks weren't as numerous as the west likes to claim). Anyway, 1878 war was fought on two fronts, Balkans and Caucasus. Though Ottomans lost, in the east, they only lost Kars, Ardahan, Batum in Balkans Russians were 10 km away from Ottoman palace. Most of the Ottoman pashas were from Balkans, not Anatolia. Ottoman investments focused on East of Salonica-Varna line and west of İzmir-İzmit line. So what I'm trying to say is that Balkan Turks were the core of Ottoman empire, even the young Turks trio Talat, Enver and Cemal were from Balkans, oh yeah not to mention Atatürk.

Great movie. 6.8 out of 10? Shame.
The movie might/will be criticized by the classic anti-American, anti-West, anti-occupation, anti-war and many many other ideology followers. Though the movie has great story and great battle scenes these will be ignored by them. They will vote it down for their stupid reasons. They dont have the cumulative overall knowledge to understand the movie.
The movie goes on to show whole of battlefield. We are not focused on close shot to heroes who shoot somewhere to the opposite direction of the camera where we cant see (though these type of scenes exist too, its a level that its supposed to be). As viewers we exactly know what is going on there, we are whether directly told or we get to know it by the cinematography. We are informed of the battle tactics and formations. It will feel great for those among you who like to grasp everything down to its each iota. Not to mention the effects of rocket launches, it gives a chill down the spine.
It's very different from the rest of the movies about Afghanistan. Our American heroes/soldiers dont just go out there and save everyone and save the day. It dives down to understand the conflict and tries to get answers to questions such as "why is there a civil war in Afghanistan, why people of Afghanistan arent doing anything against Taliban/Al-Qaeda, why do we support warlords, isnt Afghan a language, isnt Afghan an ethnicity" etc. The viewers are directly let known that there are many ethnicities and languages in Afghanistan. The leader of Northern Alliance is Abdulrashid Dostum and our team goes to meet him and fight alongside him and clear out as much territory as they can from the Taliban rule. We learn that Dostum is a public leader who is ethnically Uzbek and he speaks Uzbek, Dari, Pashto, Tajik and Russian, then we also figure out he speaks English well as well. We are even introduced to Uzbek language and way of life briefly. Then we understand that the actually the Uzbeks and other minorities suffered more under Taliban (including Dostum's own family) so the main ally US can find in Afghanistan immediately is the Turkic peoples such as Uzbeks and Turkmens.
I highly recommend you to watch this for the great battle scenes and tactics that were used during America's campaigns, better understanding to history and to realize the ethnic dynamics of the region to some degree.

M-Ray's Glorious Ethnicity
Initial FTDNA results:
As we see the biggest element in the DNA is labeled as Southeast European. Which translated into Balkan region which was totally expected and foreseeable since M-Ray's ancestors originate in the Balkans.
Southeast Europe pretty much covers all of Balkan peninsula without discriminating Slavic, Greek or etc.
Eastern European is following with 34% which is roughly Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Hungary and somewhat Bulgaria. Since Bulgarians are the closest to Eastern Slavs. This might also include the Tatars and the Gagauz of Eastern Europe.
Next portion is 14% Anatolian, which represents the Ancient peoples of Anatolia. Hittites, Phrygians, Ionians, Lydians, Galatians etc. Among these, Lydians and Ionians are closely related with Greeks and Hittites are somewhat related to Greeks. These peoples spoke Anatolian languages, which is an extinct sub-language family category among Indo-European languages. It was somewhat related to Proto-Greek language. Phrygians came from Balkans. Galatians are Celts. These peoples were the cradle of civilization. First written agreement was signed by Hittites. First money was used by Lydians. You can dig down a few feet and find some ancient artifact. Pride, Honor and Glory is endless with this case.
There was an attempt to Anatolianize Troy. Even Atatürk by defeating the Greeks said "we took the revenge of Troy", he was trying to create a common Anatolian identity that dates back pre-Greek colonists times. Still, in this matter, Ionians and Trojans got so intimate over time and basically melted among the Greeks. The similarity between Turks and Greeks can be built over this to some degree though not completely, since there are other factors.
Nevertheless, Southeast European and Anatolian definitely holds Greek elements in them and this is a source of Pride, Glory and Honor for me since Greece is known world-wide for the history and mythology. Makes me take pride for Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, Ares and others. Makes me proud of Greek Mythology, these are the first stories ever created and recorded by the humanity. Makes me proud to know that world uses a lot of Greek words. Makes me proud of Leonidas of Sparta, Spartacus of Thrace, Philip of Macedon, Alexander the Great, Statue of Rhodes, Temple of Artemis, Hagia Sofia and many more.
Siberia, British Isles and Finland comprise small percentages, yet they arent a problem for me take pride in The Empire on which the Sun never Sets, The Winter War and survival in the cold wilderness of Siberia which will give me energy and diligence to survive no matter what even in the worst times that may come one day.
Siberian connection might be through the Finns as well since Finns are from the Finn branch of Finno-Ugric language family. And there are countless tribes from this language family in Siberia and around.
British connection could be through the Galatians that settled in the central Anatolia at ancient times.
Second result:
This one shows the closest my DNA to a common pool of people. Which holds the first initial results true and show my DNA closest to Balkans. Turkic elements like Turk_Aydin, Turk_Balıkesir, Crimean_Tatar_Mountain and Gagauz might be corresponding the 14% Anatolian whereas Ukrainian, Romanian and basically all the Slavic nations to some degree might be corresponding the 34% Eastern European.
Third Result:
This results refer to ancient times even long before the first tribes were being formed. Anatolian farmer basically refers to Anatolian and Balkan to some degree while Baltic Hunter Gatherer refers to Europeans since after the retraction of Glaciers from Europe, the people migrated there via Caucasus and they first settled around Baltic sea and lived as Hunters in the vastness of European lush forests. Then they spread to the rest of Europe.
Mediterranean farmer probably refers to South Italy, Greece, Balkans, Cyprus, Sicily and North Italy to some smaller extent.
Fourth Result:
This study refers to me being most probably Bulgarian and less likely Romanian. The others have very little probability.
Fifth Result:
This study takes the genome in a different manner to do the calculations. My Italian looks explain themselves easily in this study.
Near eastern mostly stands for Anatolian. 5.44
Arabian is probably due to similarities between southern Anatolians and Northern Syrians left from Hittites rule. 1.26
Armenian is probably through the shared DNA of ancient Urartians. 4.20
South Central Asian probably stands for Uzbek: 1.19
Amerindian: 0.24
European in total:
Italian: 16.04
East_Central Europe: Polish, West Ukrainian, Hungarian, Slovak: 13.53
North_Caucasian: Circassian, Chechen, Balkar, Kabardin, Karachay: 10.05
Eastern_Euro: Central Ukrainian, Eastern Ukrainian, Crimea: 8.63
North_Sea: British, Dutch, Irish: 7.36
Central Euro: Czech, German: 5.65
East Balkan: Thracian, Bulgarian, Romanian: 5.53
Fennoscandinavia: Finland, Sweden, Norway: 4.21
West_Caucasian: Georgian, Laz, Abkhaz: 3.62
French: 3.54
Iberian. 2.91
East_Med: Greek: 2.39
North_Atlantic: Icelandic, Danish 2.01
West_Med: Sardinian, Corsican: 1.49
Volga-Ural: Finno-Ugric language family speakers: 0.70
==87.66
Though I live closer to Armenia, I have more Scandinavian Genes than Armenian.
Sixth Result:
Another result, showing me the closest to Bulgarian and Romanian, surprisingly Romanian is closer.
Seventh Result:
Gencove results show that it agrees with Southeast Europe results of initial results which was 49%, here 44%. Anatolia was 14, here 12. Eastern Europe was 34, here Northeast Europe is 25. Give or take they correspond well. However, initial study had mentioned only British at 2% and Finnish at 1%. With the courage received from other studies, we can conclude that I have substantial amount of Northern, Central and Western European DNA as well.
Eighth result:
With this study we see more Italian and Western European than Eastern European. Central Indo-European stands for Anatolian basically and this is drastically lower and this includes Caucasians as well, which was confirmed with fifth result, eventually lowering the Anatolian gene percentage as low as 5 percent, which stands very little in comparison to the initial 14 percent.
Another surprising fact is that Balkan turned out to be only 1.5% which dramatically low, however in this study Balkan only refers to Bulgarian, Albanian and Greek. This further complicates things since both of the origin places lie within Greece and Bulgaria. Italian connection is likely due to the 1848 Uprising and Revolutions in Europe.
Ninth Result:
Though in Turkish, its clear to understand. Greece is specified seperately and its 17.7%. Scandinavia shows consistency with initial results. Central Asia is 2% its consolidated its place with other studier though its heavily in contrast with the initial study. West Asia is surprisingly low and is in heavy conflict with initial Asia Minor results which was 14%.
Nigerian heritage is unexpected but gives M-Ray an edge over other people for having the capability of using the word `Nigga` freely. However since it doesnt exist in the other results, this is likely to be ignored in the conclusion part.
CONCLUSION
Though there is much to learn and talk about for example at first I had intended to talk about Khazars, Cumans, Pechenegs and Avars, I omitted that subject.
Overall Results:
Croatian: 13%
Greek: 12%
Thracian: 11%
Serbo-Bosniak: 11%
Anatolian: 11%
Italian: 10%
Ukrainian: 8%
Polish: 8%
Bulgarian: 6%
Romanian: 3%
Finno-scandinavian: 2%
Central Asian: 1%
German: 1%
Baltic: 1%
British: 1%
Caucasian: 1%
These results rightfully give M-Ray the honor, pride and glory of Romans, Vikings, Kievan Rus', Spartacus, Leonidas, Winged Hussars, Zeus, Ares, Alexander the Great, Hittites, Trojans, Ottomans, Seljuks, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwhealth, British Empire, Russian Empire, Soviet Union, WW2, Cossacks, Crusaders, Balkans and more.

Demographic History of Afrin
A Brief Look at Afrin.
While today the region is often on the news due
to the Turkish military operation, there is a lot to talk about the region and we need to go back in time. But not
recent time, I'm talking about hundreds of years ago.
In order to
get a good grasp of today's events we should have a good idea about the history
and have a better perspective.
Today it
has a population of 200,000 and back then during the Roman Empire it had even
lower population we cant know for sure now but its likely that the city of
Afrin had a mixed population of Arabs, Armenians and possibly other Christians
and maybe some Jews. It was one of the buffer zones between various Caliphates
and Byzantines and because of on and off wars it didnt really prosper as much
as it could so the population remained low.
With the
conquests of Seljuks the area saw a huge influx of Turkish tribes and
previously sparsely-populated area now was a thriving region with Turkish
villages and small Turkish towns. Today these names can still be found which we
will talk about it soon in the upcoming parts of the video.
As Turkish
conquests continued through west, once prospered region took a blow to its
grandeur days as Seljuks resettled many of these tribes. One of the famous tribes
from the the area was (not necessarily from Afrin region but we can group them
all together as being from greater Aleppo region) Kayı tribe which was going to
establish Ottoman Empire in Northwestern Anatolia.
The region
witnessed massive demographic change with the Christian rule that came with the
Crusades as the region was under heavy influence of Crusader states such County
of Edessa and Principality of Antioch. Many Turks moved to safer locations
mostly in Central Anatolia and its likely that most of the remaining Turkish
people were massacred.
A new
population influx arrived with the Christians and now it was more common to see
a Christian Arab than a Muslim Arab. It's likely that the Jews escaped as well
because usually they were seen as same as Muslims by the Crusaders. The city
didnt receive a big Armenian influx because there was already an Armenian State
called Kingdom of Lesser Armenia in Cilicia region.
After a few
hundred years the region was conquered by Turkish Mamluks and the region stayed
so sparsely populated with a few Turkish and Arab villages there and there.
The region
must have been affected from the Mongols but didnt suffer a significant amount.
Maybe the population had risen with refugees coming from central and eastern
Anatolia or even central Asia.
Though
Dulkadiroğulları Beylik didnt rule in Afrin region there were people in Afrin
from Dulkadir tribe. The relations between two Turkish state was normal in fact
they were in sort of an alliance though some like to say Dulkadir was a
protectorate of Mamluks and this led to Ottoman conquest of Dulkadiroğulları
Beylik before the Ottoman army's march towards Cairo and Hejaz.
Things went
pretty quiet for the region in the next two centuries or so. Most of what is
known is that the region was used by nomadic and semi nomadic Turkomans from
time to time. With more resettlements of nomadic Turks to the west and Balkans,
the region was being used by Arabs to do farming and recently by nomadic Kurds
who came to graze their animals. From the beginning of 19th century the Kurdish
nomads started to settle with incentives being received from Ottoman Empire and
soon the region had a slight Kurdish majority. This continued to be the case
until the end of Ottoman Empire.
The
collapse of Ottoman Empire and birth of the new Turkish nation led to Turks
leaving Afrin and coming to the newly founded republic. The Kurdish revolts
during Turkish War for Independence had created some unwanted Kurdish citizens
and these Kurds were accepted by France, further changing the overall ethnicity
of the region.
Assad
family settled some Arabs in the region to balance out the ethnicity. But with
the deteriorating Syrian power, the Army had to pull out of region and regroup
and the far more important locations for Syrian regime, the area was left to
PYD and their armed wing YPG. This led another mass exodus of Turks and Arabs
in the region, even homogenizing the ethnicity of the region farther and
farther.
As I had
promised in the beginning of the video, now I will go over the names in Afrin.
I grouped
villages by 8 categories.
Category I:
The settlements that end with Turkish suffix li/lu/lı/lü.
