Prof. Ilber Ortayli would say "Cahiller."Year after year Turkish American organizations use just one stamp out of this 1939 series in their 4th of July messages.
US Declaration of Independence is 1776. Add 150 you get 1926. This Stamp honored another event. The Government under the U.S. Constitution beginning - Mar 04, 1789.
The Turkish text wrongly attributes this date to "Independence | Istiklal."
Do I think Turkish Americans can discover this mistake next year. Perhaps not.
I corrected this for so many years by writing directly to their web masters. My only hope is now shaming the "ignorants | cahiller" in Blogospere.
It might work.
