24letters. WEEKLY MAGAZINE PHOLITISM. The word of the week from the 24letters: What does the last name mean? Karamanlis; they write: George Damianos and Kamal Rahimi (for Turkish and Farsi language research) Presentation in a few words: Nowadays there are no Greek Karamanlis, nor their writing. Chalk on a blackboard, which was erased by the sponge of time, it would be their case, if there were no surnames: Karamanos, Karamanlakis, Karamanoglou, Karamanlis et al. The case of the Karamanlids from Cappodocia stands as a thorn in our memory and poses small and difficult questions that demand an answer, such as:
"You can be Greek, without speaking Greek;”
"What is the role of the Church in the preservation of the Nation;” and many more. Before you rush to answer, let's get to know the case of the Karamanlids from Karamania better. Where is Karamania located;
Karamania is a region of Southeastern M. Asia and includes parts of Lycaonia, of Great Phrygia Pamphylia, Isauria, Cappadocia, Cilicia. It was named after Karaman Bey / Mehmet Bey Karamanoglu (Mohammad Bi Karaman Aqlu), who founded the emirate, around, στα 1256. (www.24Grams.com)
The word Karaman (or Kahraman) means "the hero", "the first boy", and is common in Turkish, in Persian (Farsi), and in Armenian, as well as in all regions that have the Farsi variants such as: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Punjab region of India. In Persian historical texts, the word "Karaman" or "Kahraman" is written as "Qahraman" ("Q" is pronounced "C")
The name Karamanli identifies the person or the family that comes from Karaman (the Turkish ending "-lı" indicates movement from place, B.C. Ankarali : from Ankara). Who were the Greek Karamanlids?; www.24Grams.com With the term Karamanlis and, more commonly, in the plural: Karamanlides, the Greek residents of Karamania are identified, which had a universal specificity: We are used to calling her, Orthodox Christians, they spoke Turkish and wrote the Turkish language with Greek letters (Karamanli script). Even though they were under a lot of pressure to convert to Islam, the Greek language was banned, Turkish was imposed, but with stubbornness and self-denial they remained Orthodox Christians, although they lost the Greek language.
