Modern Turkish attempts to claim ancestry to a land they took by force as a claim to their legitimacy.

I suppose this makes my wife's Greek friend from Wellesley, whose family came originaly from Trabizond but who grew up in Athens no thanks to Ataturk and Co., really "Turkish"? After all, a couple of carved stones have been found so we now know there were no Greeks in Anatolia ever.

The only group I can think of might be far northern Eskimos etc.
