And the Greeks tried to clear all of thier territories of Turks as well.
All's fair in Love and War as the saying goes.
AS I said before, learn from it and move on.
ALL parties have enough blood on their hands for the guilt to be spread evenly all around.
Learn from it and make sure that it doesn't happen again, is the ONLY piece of advice and lesson that you people should be taking from this.
Again, this continued hatred does nothing but create the possibility of it happening again, shows poorly on you possibly learning from it, and when it does happen again, who will you blame for it?
I'll point right at you and say, hey, I told you to learn from it and move on, but you insisted on holding onto your grudges and revisionist history.

As a % of population there are more "Turks" living in Greece than there are Greeks and Armenians living in Turkey.
In 1955 the Turks held a pogrom that erased the remaning native Greeks in "Istanbul".
Cyprus followed in another generation. After Cyprus the next Turkish generation went after the Kurds.
Every Turkish generation seems to need a victim to scapegoat.
