You are not well versed in history. The Turks comprized a mere 55% of the population in "Turkey" at the beginning of the 20th century. Then they started massacring all minorities they could get their hands on, and of course the Italians planned to create their own little colony in Turkey...

Really doubt it, Greek minoritt in Anatolia only really existed in the Black Sea coast by that point, Kurdish regions were much less densely populated. The genocides affected the composition, Turks were already the majority in every region of Turkey other than where they still arent, Kurdistan.

Most of the recent genocides in Turkey happened between 1900 and 1925, that's why I used 1900 as a starting point.
The Greek minority in Anatolia was stronger in the Aegean sea, with the Black sea being less densely populated than the Aegean coast. Have you ever seen a map of that time?
No legit maps of Ottoman demographics exist, nevertheless, I have some statistics from 1906:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demogr...Ottoman_census
Unfortunately the statistics include the half the Balkans and the Levant, but if you consider that the Levant under the Ottomans had more population than the Balkans under the Ottomans at 1906 and take into account that virtually all Turks and Kurds were Muslims, you can reason why the 76.09% - 74.23% of Muslims in the Ottoman empire correspond to a mere 55% of Turks within Turkey at approximately 1900...1905-1906 Ottoman census

1905-1906 (printed in 1911)
Muslim population in the Ottoman vilayets (1907)
Muslim population in the Ottoman sanjaks
After 1893 the Ottoman Empire established a statistics authority (Istatistik-i Umumi Idaresi) under which results of another official census was published in 1899.
Istatistik-i Umumi Idaresi conducted a new census survey for which field work lasted two years (1905–06). 2-3 million people in Iraq and Syria remained unregistered and uncounted.[7] As a factual note this survey's complete (total) documentation was not published. Results of regional studies on this data were published later, which were sorted by their publication date. Included in the publication and subsequent ones was the Ottoman Empire's population as of 1911, 1912, and 1914. The substantial archival documentation on the census has been used in many modern studies and international publications. After 1906 the Ottoman Empire began to disband and a chain of violent wars such as the Italo-Turkish War, Balkan Wars and World War I drastically changed the region, its borders, and its demographics.
Population distribution of the Millets in the Ottoman Empire in 1906, according to the official census[8]-[9] Millet Inhabitants % of total Muslimsa 15,498,747 - 15,518,478 76.09% - 74.23% Greeksb 2,823,065 - 2,833,370 13.86% - 13.56% Armeniansc 1,031,708 - 1,140,563 5.07% - 5.46% Bulgarians 761,530 - 762,754 3.74% - 3.65% Jews 253,435 - 256,003 1.24% - 1.23% Protestantsd 53,880 0.26% Othersd 332,569 1.59% Total 20,368,485 - 20,897,617 100.00% Notes: a The Muslim Millet includes all Muslims.
