... that the manufacturing of knife cutlery at Babakale in Turkey goes back to 1720s started by masters immigrated from
Kazakhstan? Source: "Osmanlı'nın kılıç ve kama ihtiyacını karşılamak üzere yaklaşık 300 yıl önce Kazakistan'dan Çanakkale'nin Babakale köyüne getirilen ustaların torunları tarafından üretilen bıçaklara sahip olabilmek için, sipariş verdikten sonra 5 ay beklemek gerekiyor." (in Turkish)[1]
New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present. Has sufficient citations. AGF on Turkish-language hook fact, but the citation is in the correct place and the hook is interesting. I'd personally go with "emigrated from" instead of "immigrated from", but that is just my personal feeling on hook wording. Meets DYK reqs.
