Is it really such a huge influence on our culture? I genuinely don't know.

Yes it is, but all of that come back to what you mean with word of "culture".Is it really such a huge influence on our culture? I genuinely don't know.
So how you celebrate it I mean your family?.Just saw this question, the Ashura day is being celebrated inofficially where people make the traditional dish called Asure, its a quite widespread tradition, my relatives for exsample make this dish on this day and they are all sunni.

Not really a celebration but a comemoration as a holy day, as said the traditional Asure dish is being served to families and friends, also some organisations hand out the dish in public, thats about it.So how you celebrate it I mean your family?.
Some Turks donate blood on that day, Turkish Red Crescent has campains regarding this on Ashura.Is it really such a huge influence on our culture? I genuinely don't know.
Shia not only in the south they're dominating the center too for instance Baghdad mostly Shia going north diala province mainly Shia kerkuk half of it Shia talaafer majority Shia.Southern Iraq
The thing with religious days is most Turks don even know what those stand for exactly, the same goes for Ashura, people just follow their traditions passed over generations, the day is being celebrated different than Shia regions, as said at most blood is being donated and food served thats it.@xenon54 fair enough, you guys should know this more than me (obvious reasons) if Ashura and Karbala plays a big role in Turkish culture among non-Shia Turks. I was not aware of this if true.
I mean the very same culture you said.Yes it is, but all of that come back to what you mean with word of "culture".
Sorry but is it with some sadness or happiness?.Not really a celebration but a comemoration as a holy day, as said the traditional Asure dish is being served to families and friends, also some organisations hand out the dish in public, thats about it.
both yes and not but mainly I want to say that Ashura was honored among turks before persians.Are you referring to Safavids?
Neither, just a tradition.Sorry but is it with some sadness or happiness?.
he mean people remind Ashura and what happen there.Sorry but is it with some sadness or happiness?.
