Turkeye

Turkeye is a hamlet of Sluis, a municipality located in the west of Zeelandic Flanders, in the south-western part of the Netherlands.

Although everyone in the village is Dutch, there is a sign on the doors of many houses saying Ne mutlu Türküm diyene ("How happy is the one, who says 'I am a Turk'").

While many signs in the village contain the words Hoş geldiniz ("Welcome"),[4] there are also paintings of Ottoman sultans on some walls.

The defeated Spanish troops withdrew and left 1,500 galley slaves, among whom a large number of Muslims from the Ottoman Empire,[1] referred to in short as Turcken.

Sluis placed in the Turkish cities of Dalaman and Trabzon, where many Dutch tourists come.
