Christian Bible proves: Anatolia is Asia!

Ok. Thanks.

Excuse me, the focus of my discussion is strictly military.

The question is: Will an attack in Anatolia trigger the NATO Treaty Article 5?

Yes because Turkey is considered European. Wtf is this nowadays? It won't be an attack to "Anatolia" it will be an attack to Turkey...

The first Greeks migrated from anatolia

Tens of thousands of years ago. "Minoans" (a missnorm) for example had already been living in Greece for at least 10,000 years.

[Kamal900]

And Turkey is European and Turks have nothing to do with MENA people and Turks are not religious at all and Turks are just Muslim Europeans and Turkish culture is more European than all European countries and the Ottoman Empire was the succesor of the Roman Empire.

These people are so delusional that it's not even funny.

Who said that Anatolia is a part of Europe? Not even the delusional Turks who are desperate to be associated with Europe would say this

Anatolia was part of Greece for millenia. But it has nothing to do with Turkey or modern day Turks.

Modern Turkey includes Eastern Thrace which is NOT part of Anatolia and which was ethnically cleansed by the Turk of its original inhabitants. It also includes ethnically cleansed regions of Armenia, ethnically cleansed Hatay which was part of Assyria, and Kurdistan which was formerly know as Media and was also part of Assyria.

Modern Turkey is an inappropriate term to label Anatolia when referring to its history. Since half of Modern Turkey was part of Assyria for example it is misleading. Modern Turkey was create through systematic pogroms and mass genocide of the indigenous peoples.

Calling Anatolia by the name of Turkey is like calling Thrace modern Bulgaria. All the boundaries are wrong.

Modern Turkey is NOT based on any ancient bounderies. It was created through the deliberate mass genocide of the indigenous peoples of other empires and the annexation of their land. Before the Turks, the land was called Anatolia or Asia-Minor.

So when speaking of the history of that region we should the accepted historic name not the name of a country which was created through the genocide of millions.

Noone considers Turkey European because it simply is not.

Anatolia is Asia Minor, it's true. But it's nothing to do with the Middle East in the first place. The Asian part of Istanbul is closer to Europe than it is to any Middle Eastern or West Asian country. The eastern parts in Anatolia might be more associated with West Asia but this can't be applied to western Anatolia as well as the Black Sea area.

That Anatolia had nothing to do with the middle east depends on the period you are talking about. Neither the Asia Minor populations nor the middle east populations have remained the same. After the arrival of Turks and Arabs, Asia Minor has everything to do with the middle east.

Typical Raine.

The Indo-European local Anatolian groups certainly have great genetic connections with the peoples of today's Iran, Mesopotamia and the Caucasus, so yes, Anatolia is a middle eastern land that was inhabited by both Europeans(mostly Greeks) and west Asiatics before the arrival of the Turkish hordes from central Asia.

Noone on the apricity? Omg...
