Anectodal evidence. Even if the lifestyles are "vastly different" Greeks and Turks are very similar in mentality and are usually equally idiotic. Same aggressive and hatred-driven attitude, always. I know Greeks fancy LARPing as the owners of civilization but in reality you're no better than Turks.
You could've done a quick google search and noticed that you've been brainwashed. But yes, Eastern Thrace normally had more Greeks than Western Thrace.

I don't know about Pontus, but it's not really relevant here anyway.
Who teaches you this kind of bullshit, I don't know. Possibly, there was a huge propoganda to incite public support for the Asia Minor campaign and they still teach that instead of history. I assume it's much wiser to believe some nutjob that pushes some Hellenic agenda, rather than the official census. I suggest you to cleanse yourself of your nationalistic indoctrination.
You could've conquered the entireity of Anatolia with 5-7 million Greeks. Surely you know how that adventure turned out. Look at the figures that estimate the population, you're just adding 5 million Greeks out of thin air. What happened to them, may I ask? I guess they were killed or converted to Turks?
Read it again, stop hallucinating.
I'm saying you're as guilty as the Turks even if you don't want to admit it. I know it's fun and it's good for keeping your self worth alive to regard Turks as Barbarians, as Greek nationalism cannot survive without the Turkish "threat". Greece is not even a top 3 enemy in Turkey anymore.
I think you should find a way to extinguish the rage inside you.
