Oh, Chryssanti looks absolutely beautiful!

Also article is fine otherwise but I am bothered by the beginning of chapter about Turkish forms:
"Some mistakenly believe that Turkish oriental dancing is known as Çiftetelli due to the fact that this style of music has been incorporated into oriental dancing by Greeks and gypsies, illustrated by the fact that the Greek belly dance is called Tsifteteli. However, Turkish Çiftetelli is more correctly a form of wedding folk music, the part that makes up the lively part of the dance at the wedding and is not connected with oriental dancing"

*I* have never ever heard that some would believe Turkish belly dance to be known as ciftetelli - mixing with karsilama could be somehow understandable but with ciftetelli not... and I would not even categorize ciftetelli to be wedding folk music either as it is simply a rhythm used both as slow and fast versions in many different types of Turkish (and Greek) music
