In the second video of my Lebanon trip, I visit the Turkish village of Kalashra in Lebanon, whose name we have heard quite often in recent years. They continue their lives as a minority community that remained there after the Ottoman Empire withdrew from Lebanon in 1917. Although some of them have been assimilated by mixing with the Arab society, 3000 people still live in the village and Turkish is actively used.

I wandered around the village in detail and tried to talk to people as much as I could. I would like to thank the Turks living here for their hospitality, I really felt like I was in Turkey. Please do not spare your comments and likes, I request your support for the scholarship we provide with YouTube revenues.
