Once upon a time a terrible earthquake happened. 

The earth cracked open and through fire,  silver giants appeared  ... The Genitsari  !!!  

They were tall and strong like rocks. They were shining like the sun and they brought light  and power in their passing by.  Their moto was  PEACE ALL OVER THE WORLD !!!

Feeling this, Bayındır Khan thought of making friends with Genitsari gathering all Oghuz in the world. But before them there was another group that made friends with Genitsari. This group belonged to Bamsı Beyrek. Bayındır Han is the safest man, Bican Bey, he discovered them. Subsequently, Bayındır Khan offered Bamsı Beyrek to be an alliance. Bamsi Beyrek accepted this offer, but there was a reason ...

This was the great demand for Muhsin Celebi in Pink Pearl Caftan, which is the intimate friend of Bamsi Beyrek. Muhsin Celebi was a person who could risk death for the glory of the state. He could use (the of him) this feature for the good of ensuring peace in the world. This valiant man, who was so courageous and did not move away from the truth, could be the great factor to ensure peace in the world. One day, even someone else who wanted peace in the world wanted to join them.

While the Genitsari waited, the Oghuz were spreading the news among all the groups in the world. Bayındır Khan allied with Bamsı Beyrek and it was agreed that they would do everything they could to establish peace and without using arms. The went to a more distant civilization in western Europe, Lusitania. They met with  Vasco da Gama and Viriato who agreed with the motto of the Genitsari. Thus, with their compatriots immediately embarked in their caravels towards the seas. Viriato devised a plan that everyone else was astonished at. To achieve peace without war, they would deliver a ball made with the techniques of ancestral basketry. It would be a magic potion of colors, smells and textures.

Vasco da Gama and Viriato were wondering who would know how to prepare this magic ball? Of course, the sailor Sinbad!

They were looking for Sinbad's ship everywhere, and finally they found it. The ship was a wooden one and had a flag with the symbol of pigeon on it. Pigeon was representing PEACE. Sinbad told them how to prepare its magic. He told them it needed a branch of olive. Viriato took out an olive branch from his waist and gave this branch to Sinbad. 

Sinbad had a real pigeon, too. The pigeon brought a special water drop in its beak. Sinbad mixed this water drop with the leaves of olive branch.

Sinbad made the magic potion that would bring peace to the world without weapons and violence

He gave it to Viriato. Viriato took it and went to find the Giannitsarous, Oghuz, Bayindin Khan, and Bamsi Beyrek and all together to get the Peace Filter everywhere telling the world that they have the magic potion of Peace. Everyone looked in astonishment and began to follow them. It soon became a sea of people cheering for PEACE.

Nardaniye Hanım (Ms. Nardaniye) had been walking for hours in the forest. She was carrying the basket full of poisonous pomegranates which her step-mom gave her. After a while she arrived an unknown street where hundreds of people were walking together. Nobody noticed her. She passed among them and stood right next to a man little did she know it was Sinbad. She was so tired that she put her basket near Sinbad's magical basket. Sinbad didn't notice either. He randomly took 'his' basket and kept on walking with the pacific crowd.

They kept on towards Budapest to investigate. They were fascinated by the many beautiful aspects of the city. They found a house in the middle of Margaret island with a golden deer decorating the front door. When they opened the door they were filled with shock. The walls were covered in painted red tulips and the only thing occupying the room was a big wooden table with a bottle of Soda placed at the center with two crystal glasses.  At once a ghost appeared that introduced himself as István the King. He told them the most important ingredient in this country was on that table. 

They were now only missing a handful of  people and ingredients so as soon as possible with István and the bottle of bubbled water they headed towards their next destination.                    BME által alapított Két Tanítási Nyelvű Gimnázium, Budapest, Hungary

Just as they were on their way out, Keloğlan came across them. He said that a surprise was waiting for them when they came out after 12:00. He asked why 12.00 and why should we wait for it. He said that some places and some hours have talismans, believe it. Keloğlan took a box from his bag and placed it on the table.

They trusted Keloğlan and waited for 12 am. at night. When the clock struck 12, Keloğlan opened the box he took out of his bag and took out the missing potion. He told all the leaders to take a sip of this potion. The heroic and brave men who drank the potion turned into shining like sun, the rock-strong Genitsari. They immediately got to work for world peace. They each formed their own 'peace armies' and were scattered around the world.

All the armies gathered and sailed across the Mediterranean Sea. Harlequin, an Italian mask, was wandering along the streets and saw the group parading.  He joined them and started telling funny stories to help them feel better after the long journey. Many people, from different countries belonged to the crowd; there were the Giannitsarous and the Oghuz, among them famous ones such as Bayindir Khan, Beyrek, Muhsin Celebi, Vasco de Gama, Viriato, Sinbad, Nardaniye Hanim, and Keloglan. All together, they moved forward and walked across the Italian peninsula. They left from Syracuse, and passing through Messina, Naples, Rome and Florence, they finally reached Milan. During the long journey, he asked each of them a piece of fabric taken from their dresses and at each stop; he sewed them together to create a big flag on which he wrote the Genitsari motto: PEACE ALL OVER THE WORLD! 

The entire group went on marching together and shouting the motto toward Northern Europe…..

Harlequin, holding  high the flag  proudly continued telling his funny stories and jokes!
