@sharghzadeh Serious question, is it safe for you to walk around Istanbul dressed like that?

@abdullaaltarak Yes and they call me "hajji" too. Turks are good people and mind their own business.

@sharghzadeh Istanbul is the New York of the Muslim world.

@whereisfaysal Absolutely.

@sharghzadeh You tweet the way you tweet about culture and dress… and then dress like a gulf Arab in istanbul as a persian 😂 in a way I respect it

@ThatEthiopian I wouldn't say "Arab" it's just Gulf. Persians/Iranians in the entire Gulf, including the Iranian side, dress this way. After almost a year in Kuwait my wardrobe is just thawbs.

@sharghzadeh i think i saw you today in üsküdar but was like “no he is not in istanbul” 🙃

@sevdenour If you see me say hi!

@sharghzadeh Gürgen where Mahtumkuli is from ? It’s in Iran

@sharghzadeh Any one that loves turkey is not a serious person, Ottoman Empire presided over the ummah as it went to 0

@sharghzadeh When I was there, I met people from the Bulgarian Turkic tribe that converted to Islam but call Bulgaria their home (they were studying in Istanbul). I met people originally from the Caucasus mountains and were Circasians,trying to save their language and writings.

@sharghzadeh You look less Iranian then he does!

@sharghzadeh So interesting, I remember hearing about Kazakhs in Afghanistan but never Iran

@sharghzadeh Please put the smooth filter down this is getting excessive

@sharghzadeh خارکصه افغانی حالا چرا لباس عربی پوشیدی

@sharghzadeh Are you arab or persian?

@sharghzadeh Dressing like this in Istanbul is brave + thick-skinned

@sharghzadeh Really amazing to encounter such unexpected diversity in this wonderful city called Istanbul. ❤️🇹🇷

@sharghzadeh Istanbul is an incredible place. A languages paradise. I enjoy it every single day.
