IMHO Turkey rightfully belongs to the Hittites
the earliest known occupants, circa 2000 B.C.,
and if the descendents of King Tuwana can be located
it should be restored to them.

This whole idea has caused immense numbers of wars.
For instance, who has "title" to most of the Balkans?
At various times, Serbian, Bulgarian, Greek, Turkish and assorted other nationalities had empires which controllled the same areas. So who has the "right" to them?
Historical claims are a giant worldwide can of worms. The only logical approach that will prevent fighting is to allow the present inhabitants to vote and abide by the results.
