Are you reading my papers upside down, bacwards or what? Either you
are confused or intentionally distorting what you read. Your usage of
the appellation "Turkish Anagrammatizing theory" is a
misrepresentation and disinformation. You are twisting things around.
I did not use this kind of labelling on my revelation. If I were to
label it, it would be something along the lines: INDO-EUROPEAN AND
SEMITIC LANGUAGES ARE ARTIFICIALLY MANUFACTURED LANGUAGES BY WAY OF
ENCRYPTING TURKISH WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS. If I had to give my
revelation a shorter label, it would be: INDO-EUROPEAN AND SEMITIC
ANAGRAMMATIZATION OF TURKISH. This is the way my discovery should be
referred to - not by the deceptive label of "Turkish Anagrammatizing
theory" that you have concocted.

Best wishes to all,

Polat Kaya
