They're also common in the Middle East. Don't worry (argh, really didn't mean for that to be a pun), it's not just some junk "let's see what we can get dumb tourists to buy" thing that isn't actually part of the culture.

yeah, they came with the Turks. We have them too in Macedonia. You'll see a bunch of old people walking around with their hands behind their back playing with those things.
