OTTOMAN CULTURE IS NOT TURKISH CULTURE.

In fact, before Ataturk's linguistic reforms, the Ottoman language sounded more like Arabic or Persian rather than Turkish. The language common people spoke was considered to be "peasant language" even if it was closer to Aincent Gokturk Language than ottoman.
