The fact that Greece invaded Turkey, under the encouragement of the Allies is ignored.
It is made to seem as if Kemal just decided to attack the Anatolian Greeks,
without any provocaion whatsoever.

Yes, I do detect a little bias in this article.

The Greeks invaded Turkey with the intention of re-establishing the Byzantine Empire.

(A slight case of over-reaching)

The Greeks were defeated by General Kemal Pasha
(later Ataturk)
who thus was launched on his road to power.

(So the Greeks were responsible for the rise of Ataturk)

The Greek generals in charge of this ludicrously stupid enterprise were executed
after their return to their homeland.

The Greeks have been whining about those nasty Turks
(even on this forum)
ever since.

His being primarily responsible for the Turkish victory at Gallipoli (just about the only major Turkish success of the war) may have had something to do with it, too!

You can't invade what is your land. Liberation and invasion are two different things. Would you noy do anything to free Christians living in their ancestoral lands from once and future rampaging Muslims?

Restorer, you have it backwards. After all did the Jews "invade" Palestine?
