Friendship often involves 'duz-çörək' (salt and bread). Breaking bread with a 'yaxşı dost' creates a lifelong bond of loyalty. A 'yaxşı dost' is expected to be the first person to arrive at a wedding and the last to leave a funeral. Presence is the ultimate proof of friendship. In the city, 'yaxşı dost' might be the person you meet daily at a 'çayxana' (tea house) to discuss life and politics. In villages, a 'yaxşı dost' is often someone from a neighboring family with whom you share agricultural resources or livestock.
