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.

Revisionist history at it's best, BLAME the Bad Turks, the Turks are bad, etc, etc.

The Greeks are as much to blame for Cyprus, actually more so, then the Turks.

Same old blame game, different day.

As I said, the revisionist history, the lily white virgin crap, and the hatred that I see spouted in this thread is a sad thing to see.

Learn from it and move on, or your hatred and vengeful attitude will eventually make sure that it happens again.

I will find that sad in the extreme.

To blame everything totally on the Turks, as I have been seeing, is as bad as religious zealotry as far as I am concerned.

You look at whatever version of history will match your prejudices and ignore anything that disagrees with it.

Sad, just sad.

You all are a stark expample of why history repeats itself.

And from the hatred etc that I have seen on this thread, history is going to repeat itself, I just hope the Turks are prepared to defend themselves against you when the time comes. Actually, there is no hope about it, I know for a fact that they are.
