Took 300 years? Funny. Turkish pirate Chaka Reis occupied Izmir from byzantines in 1090, just 19 years after Turks kicked byzance in Malazgirt war and entered eastern Anatolia. Before conquering Trakya and Istanbul, Turkish pirates were plundering all waters of Byzance in 14th century . Many provinces and towns carry their names.They learned from Arabian and Italians but not from Greeks, who were on the peak of poorness and misery in that age. They had become a soccer ball between pope,crusaders and Turks,having no naval force at all.Byzance was the one to hire Genoans and Venetians to use against Turks in 15th century. And I like today's Greeks, flattering with ancient people of 2000-2500 years ago. How many percent of your blood is same with them you think?0.1? Before Greece got independent in 1821, majority of northern Greece were Turks and Macedonians, and even villages around Athens were densily talking Albanian , and hundreds of thousands of Karamanians,mostly orthodox christian Turks added to them after 1923

. And continuous dense cultural assimilation backed by ancient Greece loving western Europe to form a uniform nation and tool to use against Turkey,Russia,Germany, whoever needed. Anyway, an unrelated topic opened by another member must not be the proper place to discuss these. We must show respect.point.
