What's with these people? The treasures of Troy belong to Turkey, from whence they were purloined by Schleimann.

The Turks are so dismayed by ongoing vandalism of ancient sites that the Turkish Army guards all of them, complete with tanks. Not exactly a welcoming sight, but understandable considering the fortune in ancient artifacts that have been stolen.

By that logic the Turks should return the whole country to the indigenous peoples and go home. Nothing in the entire country is Turkish heritage.

Hell no... I think the Greeks should get it, it's theirs by right of conquest.
