Are you from the Dodecanese? Specifically, Kos, or Rhodes, were these Turks reside? I am. I can tell you that these Turks are not Turkicized Greeks. They are Turkish settlers from Anatolia, who came over after the conquest of these islands by the Ottomans in 1522-23. Not everything in life is about us Greeks!

Who told you that the settlers from Anatolia are canines? Genetically not even the canines are Turkic in origin:

[Petros Houhoulis]

When did the Ottomans force people to become Turks?

It didn't happen by force, it happened by privileges, and in some cases when a Muslim had kids from a non-Muslim slave, her offspring would also be slaves if she remained non-Muslim, but they would be free Muslims if she converted, hence...

If that were the case, there wouldn't have survived any remnants of the Greek language or Christianity after 500 years of their rule. The truth is, as long as the tzimides (infidels) paid their taxes, the Ottomans couldn't care less what they did, or how they lived.

The Ottomans did commit arbitrary crimes against the non-Muslims, and there was no court which could judge them, since each religion had its' own courts, and the Muslims were punishing the non-Muslims with or without courts...

Tfw an Arab calls me an Orc:

You call yourself an Orc, why shouldn't an Arab - or for that matter anybody else - call you an orc???

[Petros Houhoulis]

Need extensive genetic test on Dodecanese people.If they're over 1% East Asian&Siberian, that means they're originally Turk, if they claim they're Turkish Dodecanese but if they lack of East Asian&Siberian admix, that means they're Turkified Greeks.

Really? If they are 1% East Asian & Siberian, and 99% Balkan, are they still canines???

Since when is 1% enough to determine anything whatsoever???

[Petros Houhoulis]

This is nonsense. These were Turks because the spoke Turkish, not Greek.

With the same logic, you are English because you speak English...

If they were Turkicised Greeks, like the Cretan Muslims, they would have spoken Greek instead.

Not so, if they were migrants from Asia Minor. Even the Greeks or "Greeks" of Asia Minor were fluent in Turkish, sometimes only in Turkish...

...Not to mention that you are conflating religion with ethnicity...

Turks are Muslim Greeks.

Ok

Greek Cypriot mentality: Turkey is Greek, Cyprus is Greek, Mecca is Greek, The Moon is Greek etc.

Turkish mentality:

Everything which Turks once invaded is Turkish
