When the Turkish President Turgut Ozal visited Bangladesh in the late 80s, he was so impressed with the culture and mellifluous sounds of bangla, he decreed upon return, as his first act, that they begin to learn Bangla as a second language.
This is why young Turks are only adept in Bangla...not the elders. The elders who never accommodated this constitutional ammendment were instead dispatched to Israel to learn Yiddish.
