  1. Complete political nonsense from the start to the end as first they somehow claim Anatolia got hellenized peacefully while in reality Greek historians tell very different story like how entire population of Troy got slaughtered or enslaved when Greeks captured the city!! Lets assume those Greek historians were lying somehow what about thousands of paintings which can be found all around Greece showing enslaved Anatolians getting beheaded as offerings to greek gods?? They are lies as well??? Peaceful hellenization is just a total joke in every way and they even completely ignored Roman atrocities such blinding thousands of Bulgars by Basil II, other massacres of Pagans or Latin genocide done by Greeks, i guess those were irrelevant.. Then they claim Ottoman had turkification and conversion projects which is a total lie without any question due Ottoman was actually very tolerant against other Abrahamic religions such as when Christians captured Iberian peninsula they issued an order that everybody had to convert to Christianity including Jews if they wanted to stay in Spain and tens of thousands of Jews refused and migrated into Ottoman where they could live freely under Millet system which was letting minorities to even introduce their own laws!! And they were full citizens of Ottoman that their only difference to Muslims was paying slightly higher tax called Jizya tax, in fact there wasn't even a Turkish millet rather Turks were considered as a part of Muslim millet and had exactly same rights as Arabs etc which shows how ridiculous claiming Ottoman had turkification project!! And forceful recruitment aka blood tax was only taken if somebody failed to pay their taxes so rich non-Muslims like Greeks never had to enlist their children while much poorer Balkan nations like Serbians often had to enlist their children but there are even records people offered their children themselves simply because living in a poor village during medieval era was much more dangerous than becoming one of the most elite soldiers on Earth who got paid very high salaries as well!! Some westerners consider Janissaries as slavery somehow while they were getting paid very well, they could marry, retire and buy property, what a ''slavery'' indeed which literally had way more rights than ''free'' villeins who were vast majority of European population for centuries.. Then they completely ignore there were millions of Muslims living in Balkans and after Ottoman lost those places they faced every kind of atrocities, hundreds of thousands got killed and millions were forced to migrate into Ottoman!! Same happened in Crimea in 1783 and Circassia in 1860 where Muslims were completely ethnic cleansed by killings or forceful displacements to Ottoman but even if Balkan, Crimea and Circassia massacres happened decades before Anatolia it is somehow told as Ottoman started this violence for obvious reasons ofc!! But in reality those massacres were the whole reason why Ottoman nations were becoming extremely hostile against each others and the violence continued in Anatolia as well where Greeks and Armenians rebelled against Ottoman and started to attack both Ottoman forces and Turkish civilians while in return Turkish civilians attacked them and Anatolia was fallen into a total civil war which was why population exchanges happened as living together peacefully wasn't possible anymore!! Here is an academic writing published by seven western universities which is about how Greeks and Armenians killed hundreds of thousands Turkish civilians in Anatolia: http://www.academia.edu/35312332/Revisiting_the_Fire_of_Izmir But sadly nobody cares about the real history including even so called historians which is why there are so many nonsenses in ''history'' books that this video is one of those, what a shame...

  8.  @georgeevangel899  ''Mythical'' city which has ruins and thousands of historical artifacts somehow, LMAO!! And where are those films exactly??? Non-existing.. And here comes Turks are living freely in Greece nonsense, lets look if it has any truth: ''The Greek government refers to the Turkish community as Greek Muslims or Hellenic Muslims, and does not recognise a Turkish minority in Western Thrace. Greek courts have also outlawed the use of the word 'Turkish' to describe the Turkish community. In 1988, the Greek High Court affirmed a 1986 decision of the Court of Appeals of Thrace in which the Union of Turkish Associations of Western Thrace was ordered closed. The court held that the use of the word 'Turkish' referred to citizens of Turkey, and could not be used to describe citizens of Greece; the use of the word 'Turkish' to describe 'Greek Muslims' was held to endanger public order. Greece continued this stance in the beginning 21st century when Greek courts ruled to dissolve or prohibit formation of Turkish associations.'' Wow, Turks are living so ''freely'' in Greece they can't even call themselves Turkish while in Turkey everybody is free to consider themselves whatever they want!! You are a total joke in every way and actual number is around 50,000 not 120,000 especially if we consider there are only 98,000 Muslims in entire Greece...

  9.  @georgeevangel899  I wonder what part of your body you used to read my message as they want to call themselves Turkish while Greek government doesn't let them and even closing down their associations so it does matter what Greek government does, right ''genius''??? In your first message you very moronically claimed Turks are living freely in Greece and i just pointed the fact they don't live freely in Greece at all but instead of acknowledging Greece isn't any better you still try to claim ''Turkey is worse'' very childishly while in reality Turkey allows any Greek associations, in fact Eastern Orthodox Church is still in Istanbul!! So that's right don't argue with me until you are few years older and go beyond a joke...

  10. ​ @georgeevangel899  I didn't surprise at all you are using BSpedia as a source somehow because you proved how ignorant you are previously!! So first of all you gotta learn nobody uses BSpedia as a source simply because everybody can edit them which is why there are every kind of nonsenses on those pages. I bet you will claim ''ofc a Turk would say so'' then let me prove it; If you read my source that i shared previously you know Greeks killed at least 150,000 Turkish civilians and burned dozens of villages and cities!! Lets try to find this information on BSpedia, shall we??? Also here is the academic writing in case you didn't read it which is published by seven western universities and also uses dozens of European and US sources which shows it is completely neutral.. https://www.academia.edu/35312332/Revisiting_the_Fire_of_Izmir Could you find anything about Greeks killing Turkish civlians in that BSpedia page??? I found it after hundreds of sentences talking about ''greek genocide'' they bothered to add a single sentence which goes as ''There were also massacres of Turks carried out by the Hellenic troops during the occupation of western Anatolia from May 1919 to September 1922.'' without any information about how many Turkish civilians got killed even if there are at least 6 different estimates about Greek casualties, absolutely nothing about dozens of villages and cities which got burned by hellenic troops nor how greek army officially ordered their soldiers to kill Turkish civilians after their defeat in Dumlupınar!! They continue their lies with claiming ''Turks burned Smyrna'' while in reality there is no proof of that and it was Greeks who actually threatened entente powers with burning the city if Turkish forces aren't stopped capturing Smyrna after their total defeat in battle of Dumlupınar that you can find details in the source i shared!! So such a ''neutral'' ''source'' indeed for anybody who is ignorant or dishonorable enough to believe those lies ofc!! For example here is an article from a Greek author who actually defends Greek gnocide happened but he is honorable enough to admit greeks also killed hundreds of thousands Turkish civilians and did Turkish genocide so he claims Greece must recognize Turkish genocide first that i completely agree to him but sadly there aren't enough educated or honorable people in Greece to do so... https://neoskosmos.com/en/23903/recognising-genocide-part-four/ I strongly recommend you to read them fully to educate yourself greatly...

  11.  @georgeevangel899  According to the most ''trustful'', ''honest'' and ''humanist'' Press osamabinladen was a ''freedom fighter'', ''anti-soviet hero'' and ''saudi businessman'' who was using hismujahedin army to build large scale projects in Sudan: https://i.4pcdn.org/pol/1539800871469.jpg According to the press Iraq was full of weapons ofmassdestruction!! Afghanistan was the only origin of 911attacks while Saudi Arabia was the greatest western ally even if pretty much all of those terrorists who did 911attacks were Saudi citizens including osamabinladen and Saudi Arabia directly supported them for decades, in fact pretty much all terroristorganizations have wahhabistorigins same as saudis: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/isis-wahhabism-saudi-arabia_b_5717157 According to the press killing of hundreds ofthousands Crimean Tatars and complete ethniccleansing of Crimea by Russians is just''deportation'' same as Balkans where millions of Muslims were living until vast majority of them got killed or forced to migrate byBalkan nations while exactly same thing done by Turks becomes gnocide!! Francekills over 5 million people inAlgeria but the press considers it as just ''suppressingrevolts'' while even if Armeniansalso revolted against Ottoman and actually killed hundreds ofthousands Turkish civilians unlikeAlgerians but once again it is gnocide somehow!! Belgium kills over 15 million people in Congo but according the press it is just massacres of leopold not a gnocide!! British empire and US literally ethniccleansed two entirecontinents but according to press those native Americans and Aborigines onlydied because ofsmallpox that i guess 5 million native Americans gotenslaved in north America alone to protect them fromsmallpox, right?? You want me to continue or you learned the fact that no press is neutral, never was nor ever will be...

And forceful recruitment aka blood tax was only taken if somebody failed to pay their taxes so rich non-Muslims like Greeks never had to enlist their children while much poorer Balkan nations like Serbians often had to enlist their children but there are even records people offered their children themselves simply because living in a poor village during medieval era was much more dangerous than becoming one of the most elite soldiers on Earth who got paid very high salaries as well!! Some westerners consider Janissaries as slavery somehow while they were getting paid very well, they could marry, retire and buy property, what a ''slavery'' indeed which literally had way more rights than ''free'' villeins who were vast majority of European population for centuries..

  14.  @George85677  The only problem here you are looking at the subject through rose-colored glasses as the Greek government enacted 12 rounds of tax increases, spending cuts, and reforms from 2010 to 2016 in order to receive bail outs from EU which triggered nationwide protests as Greece was literally selling a part of their FREEDOM for EUROS while you could somehow claim Greece wouldn't accept such a thing!! Freedom isn't free, not today nor in the past such as you act like ancient Greece was ''full of freedom'' somehow while in reality there was freedom for only Greeks themselves while other nations like native Anatolians were heavily persecuted until their civilizations disappeared forever!! In rest of Europe it was even much worse as even their own populations got persecuted heavily like Villiens (Medieval farmers/slaves) who were vast majority of European population and they couldn't buy properties, retire nor even could leave their lords' farms without their permission!! While Janissaries could buy properties and retire + they were paid very well even then it was oppression somehow!! Nope, in medieval era it was literally freedom and every sane person would rather being a Janissary than a Villein... By the way Roman empire ended ancient Greek culture not themselves at all, just check ''the persecution of Pagans in late Roman empire''...

  15. I have no idea how you consider it was way worse especially while in Europe there were no Muslims living as they all were getting enslaved, killed or forced to convert like what happened in Iberian peninsula!! On the other hand Ottoman gave all Christians and Jews full citizenship as long as they could pay their slightly higher tax called Jizya tax so it wasn't way worse rather far better than elsewhere!! And it is also wrong claiming Ataturk Turkified Christians as during Ataturk regime vast majority of Christians in Anatolia were already deported same as vast majority of Muslims in Balkans, Crimea and Circassia!! But it is correct Ataturk had a strict statism policy and tried to unite Anatolian population under one language but same thing happened worldwide such as in Spain, Germany and France where people are called Spanish, German or French but in reality there were many minorities in those countries who had nothing to do with those nations and sadly many forgot their original language and culture!! When it happens in Europe it is ''necessary actions for establishing a strong democracy'' but exactly same thing happens in Turkey it just becomes ''Turkification''??.. Here is one of the most famous ones, Trojan princess: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Sacrifice_Polyxena_BM_GR1897.7-27.2.jpg And just search as ''hellenic human sacrifices'' then you can find countless more, in fact i've even seen a wall painting where like a dozen people were getting ''sacrificed'' aka beheaded and there were accusations as those people were Trojans!! I will try to find it again and share with you but you know human sacrifices were very common during bronze age and later especially in Greek and Roman civilizations so you shouldn't be any surprised at all that there are such paintings...
