The Turks are colonizers from Asia. To speak as the Leftists so — none of that land is theirs and they should give all of that land back to the people who used to own it. The Turks should return to Mongolia.
The Turks held it for 400 years (1517 to 1917) but the inhabitants were not Turks--they were Jews, Arab Christians, Arab Muslims, and some Christians from other countries. The Jews held it for over 1000 years in ancient times (with a few decades interruption in the 6th century), then Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, or Crusaders held it until 1517.
I spent a wonderful week in Turkey before Erdogan was in power.
Traveled with a Jewish friend, stayed on the Turkish side of Istanbul at a sweet little hotel. Hired a Turkish guide who had a nice car and he drove us to several locations in the country, Beautiful country with very interesting ruins. People in every city and town where we stopped were delighted to see Americans.
#@$% Islamist Erdogan is responsible for wrecking a nice country. He should return to hell,
The Mongolians just might go Ghengis Kahn on Erdogan’s ass!
