Most numbers and the majority of the words are similar, but not entirely identical. When you create a sentence it's difficult to grasp. The differences add up and it's not intelligible any more. No...
Do the Greeks of Istanbul region and Turkish Thrace fall under Pontians, or Ionians? Isn't dialect the main the denominator? I tend to see the Greeks from the region between Samsun and Trabzon as...
Why the long toes? In a country of over 80 million people, there are millions of European looking Turks. They are however a minority overall. But in serials they tend to be the majority.

I don't care about your top 3 actors. Or top 10 for that matter. Some Turkish serials are full of European looking Turks. It deviates from the average Turk. On the other hand, I don' t notice this...
Greeks cherish their predominant Hellenic features. They are Mediterranean features, yet overwhelmingly Caucasian. They emphasize it on tv shows and on advertisements.
Turks on the other hand...
There are no Hellenized Turks as the Greeks have no central Asian ancestry. There were however Greeks in inner Anatolia who changed their language into Turkish, but retained their Christian faith....
The Helladic Greek samples are already indicative that the mainland Greeks after the Iron Age were more steppe mixed. If anything, it is evidence that additional Steppe admixture was already present...
Those areas were conquered by Phillip. The inhabitants in those Northern regions were Molossian (mostly in Pelagonia) and Paeonians. Macedonians lived further South in the valley of Emathia.

I think you are cherry picking samples to make your point. Macedonian Slavs overall overlap with Bulgarians and sometimes South Serbs. Greek Macedonians overall do not. While some may be close to...
Turkey's strength lies in the fact that the country is surrounding by weaker, defragmented or smaller countries which Turkey is provoking. So while Turkey is the largest country in the region, in...
Perhaps a better question to ask is how Turkish are Anatolian Turks. Rather than how Anatolian they are. Since Kurds, Armenians and Greeks may count as native Anatolians, or they may not. And then...
Enlightened and cultured people consider bad acts perpetrated by their ancestors as a black page of their history. Less cultured people consider similar or worse acts perpetrated by their ancestors...
The Romans and Ancient Greeks in particular were colonizers. They made settlements and build cities. Think of Alexandria, Ephesus, Pergamon, Constantinople and many more. I can't think of examples of...
No buddy. The people they conquered were culturally superior at that point of time. Not just slightly. The fact that you can not comprehend that as a modern Turk is stemming from the argument of...
You seem to be derailing the topic. I am giving an explanation as to what made Turkic central Asian tribes conquered vast territories. The decline of the Hellenic civilization is another issue...

This may sound provocative, but I think that Mongol people where ruthless during the Middle ages. The central Asian environment is a harsh environment in order to survive. Harsh climate during...
This is my opinion. I think somewhere Kemal felt some sort of remorse for what happened during the Graeco-Turkish war. But in convincing himself that he was right, it is easier to live with his...
I have to say that in the 90s Turkey was in a position to move very close towards Europe. But after two decades of Erdogan, anti-European rhetoric, enmity towards some EU member states and increased...
