Why don't yurt (tent) exist anymore in the Anatolian Turkish culture, unlike in Central Asia?
Altınçiçek Ömürsüren This question contains a false premise. The Turkish yurt exists and it’s called a topak ev, similar to Turkmen Ак öý - Wikipediýa. In some regions of Anatolia, it’s also known by the names bekdik and alaçık which is the same word as Azerbaijani Alaçıq - Vikipediya. However, the previous answers from Turkish quorans are also wrong. They show kara çadır (“black tent”) which the transhumant/semi-nomadic Turkish people a.k.a Yörüks (“walkers”) copied from Kurdish nomads and Syrian Arab beduins 100–150 years ago because it was easier to set up and deconstruct compared to the large, sophisticated, well-adorned Anatolian Turcoman yurts depicted in old Ottoman sources. Kara çadır is just a generic felt tent that bears no similarity to a yurt.
В общем юрта у турок есть и называется топак эв, в некоторых областях Анатолии ее также называют бекдик и алашык. Ёруки свои шатры "кара чадыр" заимствовали у курдов и бедуинов 100-150 лет назад, т.к. собрать, разобрать, а также построить их легче, чем юрту, изображения которой сохранились еще в старых османских источниках.
