I understand real Turks who want to create Turanic state in Anatolia, but I wonder what happened to those Non-Turks who are hiding behind Turanic identity? Are they afraid that someone might ask them for their dues to Balkans?
It's really convenient you know. Ottomans called themselves Rumis, when they lost all wars they started calling themselves Turks so basically they haven't lost any territory and do not have any relation to balkans anymore cause they are now "TURKS" "Turks have never lived on Balkans so they haven't lost anything" Really convenient.
340.000 Ottoman Rumis who died 1913 as Bori said.. "Some Balkan fools" They are not TURKS so they aren't even part of modern Turkish history. They are unknown people.

Rum in Ottoman Empire meant Hellenic speaker, that is still how Greek minority in Turkey and Greek Cypriots are referred as.
Turks lived in Balkans and after the Balkan wars, they lost their homelands (sadly) but it was a long time ago. The wounds of Balkan Wars are still there, it was a tragedy.

Those are remnants, Greek language has fallen like Latin, Turkish is now popular, I see many Hellenic descendants in Turkey speaking Turkish only, but at least they survived prosecution, it's nice that Turkey accepted them in 1920's considering
that Turanic nationalists were in charge.
