The peninsula of Anatolia (modern Türkiye) has had a huge variety of civilizations, religions and ethnocultural tribes. In this video, I'm gathering the Christians of this peninsula, their dances and the historical regions.
Enjoy a dance medley of 8 Pontic Greek, 5 Armenian, 4 Assyrian, 2 Cappadocian Greek and 1 Smyrniote Greek dances. All in just 14 minutes! 🤍

PS: Shoutout to my friend Ruben and Pierre for the Armenian and Assyrian lyrics respectively! Also, I'm sorry that I couldn't write the lyrics of all the songs, but I couldn't find them or understand them all (especially the Assyrian ones). My apologies if I have spelling mistake in the Assyrian songs, I recently learned the alphabet, so I'm not proficient yet. For any correction or any suggestion in lyrics, feel free to comment below and I will correct or add them.
Thank you for watching!! I hope my message is clear enough. Did you enjoy the video? Did I add your favorite ones? See you in the next episode! Stay safe and stay tuned!
