Konya, Turkey: Home of Mevlana and Dervishes travel: To all people saying Rumi was Persian, I do not think he really cared about ethnicity he is a man we could call a world citizen today. On the other hand, he lived and died in Konya. Rumi is a richness Turkey developed and protected till today. He bloomed in Turkey. It is nonsense to try to make people convince he is Persian just because he had Persian roots. Create your own richness. We protected his legacy for 8 hundred years and we will for another 8 hundred years while you add some funny youtube comments and destroying everything that gives flowers in your own country.

I spent a month and a half in Konya in June/July 2014. Wonderful city. However, with historical sites there aren't as many, just the area around the Bazaar, Mevlana tomb, and Alaeddin. Not a bad thing, because in other ways its like a normal city - shops, malls, restaurants, etc. But with eklekmek! It is also an excellent location for day-trips, such as Kappadokya, Beysehir, and Catalhoyuk. Its very modern, but also a reminder that there was an Anatolia that predated the Ottomans, with a rich ancient and medieval history on full display in Konya and the surrounding area.

Firstly I studied at selcuk university and Lived about 5 years. To be honest you gave me more imformation than konya's public and what is about konya. Thanks for sharing this video. Lastly, mevlana lived at konya but He just is not belong here. Cause mevlana is universal person.

We were there 1988 with a Sufi master and the tumata healing music. Came from Urfa, Abrahams birth place. What a country it was then. So friendly and open.

I only see ignorance in this city. Konya is one of the most ignorant cities in Turkey. If Mevlana saw this probably would be so disappointed.
