Very interesting. Thanks!

The Turkish recitation, here classified as "Non traditional style", in particular. I think still during the Ottoman times some Orthodox communities in Asia Minor were forced by authorities to celebrate in Turkish language, but there were also Turkish Orthodox communities with an earlier and less violent history.
