Re: Jasmin as a male name in the Balkans
in reply to a message by Swiff

They came along with the Ottoman Turks, because they were the lowest caste in the caste system for determining status. By joining the Turkish army their status improved.A wise man once said: "For as a wise man once said, an error does not become a mistake, until you refuse to correct it".
