Make no mistake, Erdogan is an Islamist. He will not flinch at committing genocide. His recent mass arrest attest to that.
Very sobering thought for the US and NATO.

Always remember folks — TURKEY IS NOT OUR FRIEND.
As for Asia Minor--the term Asia originally applied only to part of western Asia Minor and only later came to mean the entire continent.

Orthodox Ping!
Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,

They seemed to just not be able to agree on anything. If some outside force had forced them to cooperate they could have conquered the world. I guess in a way that is what Phillip and Alexander did.
Greeks cannot stay in Turkey but Turks can come to the United States. What a bunch of chumps we westerners are. So how many genocides do the Turks get to do?
