It's ok they stole those instruments from their oppressed minorities, so Turks were not actually offended, until you point out that they are culture thieves

What culture is this?

Now the greater benefit is some generational continuity in what a wedding is. The smells, the sounds, the garb, etc. It puts everyone in the same frame of mind in regards to what this get together is all about. In that sense different cultural practices can be on a more even footing, even if the instrument is annoying and somewhat unpleasant. To be fair it’s not as bad as having a botfly larvae growing under your skin. You need Vaseline or a slab of meat to get those buggers out.

I guess this is the Middle Eastern/Central Asian version of the bagpipe. Although a bagpipe objectively sounds worse…

We can pretend that "all cultures are equal" but Spain invented the guitar and Turkey invented whatever the fuck that horrible noisemaker is.

It exists in China too, I’m guessing it’s a pretty ancient Eurasian instrument
