Well placed observation Ward, there are distinct similarities in many of the tamgas, which rather than alphabetic characters are more of a 'brand' type concept. These were Turkic based symbols used throughout the steppes tribes and became well established in many cultural groups of Eastern Europe.

"We don't need the permission of the Queen of England or any of the myriad members of her Royal family. We celebrate this for ourselves and nobody else."

Countries such as France hosted Bastille Day without feeling the need to invite former foes to partic
