Από Λιθοξόου; Λογικά αυτός το έχει φουσκώσει κιόλας. Γι' αυτό σου λέω 45 το πολύ.

Ναι από λιθοξοου, αλλά νομίζω πως είναι και επίσημα αυτό το ποσοστό

Refugees, anyway. Yes half of them from Eastern thrace

Many of the refugees in Makedonia are from East Thrace and Constantinople. (260,000)

Makedonia recieved some 500,000 people from Asia Minor which was not from continental Europe

There were 700,000 indigenous Greeks n Makedonia before population exchanges and

Continental Europeans Macedonians, Thracians and Constantinople = 950,000
Refugees from Smyrna and Pontus = 400,000

In 1904 there were 650,000 Greeks in Macedonia

So refugees made up some 30%

Constantnople was the heart of Asia Minor Greeks, culturally was Anatolian-Eastern Greek and before 1922 much of the Greek population of Constantinople lived at the Asian side of the city. Byzantines identified as Easterners.






Geographically Constantinople is closer to Asia than western Asia Minor is.

Yes,but not only the heart of Asia Minor Greeks,but of all Greeks and the Greek World in general,before Venetians and Franks start to
influence some part of Greeks.

Constantinople was the ancient Polis Byzantium and was founded in 625 B.C appoximately ,by Dorian colonists from Megara"Mainland Greece"

Their leader was a man named Byzas and hence the Polis got its name.

Asia Minor Greeks felt a bit closer to Constantinople than mainland Greeks. After all culturally, they were much closer than anyone else.

Some people use to accuse Asia Minor Greeks for the "Turkish" foods, among other things, they brought to Greece but this cuisine is called Politiki cuisine, which means Constantinopolitan and Constantinople is a European continent located town and not Asia Minor.

True ,but medieval byzantine Mainlanders where very different culturaly from what Mainlanders became when Franks"Westerners",Slavs,Albanians
got their hold on them and tried to westernize&balkanize them.

I'm talking about historical Pre-Ottoman times,not about Neo Greek morons

It was Turks and the West of Europe which put this wedge between Eastern and Western Greeks.

The Byzantines didn't identify as Easterners, but as Byzantines.

Correct,they identified primarily as the inheritors of Ancient and Hellenistic Greek and Roman legacy.
But Asia Minor was an integral part of the Byzantine World and played a key role.
Hence Asia Minor Greeks weren't realy Easterners neither.
