Any Freepers remember this conflict in the 70s? Still not resolved to this day!
The Greeks used to own all of what is considered Turkey today. This conflict goes way back.

Colonialist Settler muslims should return to Arabia from which they launched their wars of conquest and leave Anatolia to its indigenous Greeks!

Many people have not looked at a map of Greece and Turkey. Greece has a bunch of islands that lie just off the coast of Turkey in the Aegean Sea. Very close. These countries are quite uncomfortable with each other and that affected the history of Cyprus 50 years ago.
