    I thought so.. All TA Greeks probably live in european part of Greece. They always refuse things looking Middle East.

    Probably because you are much more connected with Spaniards and Portuguese.

    Open any random map, to inform yourself that Greece has no non-European part. Also, how could we refuse middle eastern things when these do not exist Mena dumb?

    4 different Greeks have never met such a thing, isn't it enough to understand that there is no such a Greek thing?

    It's obviously not Greek proper, but though I am not an expert of anatolian Greek culture, I don't think anatolians had it either

    I Google it and there are only Greek American articles

    It is a well known fact that Turks abroad will market their culture, food, etc as "Greek" so it is more accepted and palatable to Europeans and white people, even if said cultural item has nothing to do with Greece.

    Exactly, it reminds me the example of kebab, that nobody in Greece proper ever knew it even as a name before 70's, and suddenly they advertise it as a traditional Greek food

    I have seen it called "souvlaki" but I have no idea if that is native to Greece or if it came over from Turkey.

    There is no Turkish family without Kurdish ancestry you unibrowed brown rat. Ozal, Ecevit and many other presidents of Turkey had the same mongrelized mix as 99% of Turks. Their partially (among other things) Kurdish ancestry didn't stop them from being genocidal against the Kurds, and killing millions of Kurds. It didn't stop them from taking pride in being called "Kurd Killers". The most nationalistic of Turks have Kurdish plus semitic and tons of other mongrelized ancestry.

    These are your brown people, hardcore nationalists. I have seen it first hand the kind of gypsies you are. The moment I landed in Istanbul I felt I was in Gypsystan, definitely would think it was Iraq if you used Arabic letters like you did in the past 1000+ years. Some even looked Malaysian. Go fool the naive and the ignorant not those who know you inside out.
