    Other than the fact that Anatolia was culturally Greek for most of its history, nothing in common.

    Cuisine, aka Mediterranean cuisine, you can find any Turkish food you want in Greece just going by a different name, having Anatolian traces in them, and lastly being loud and hairy. These are not that surprising though, especially considering that both countries are neighbors and interacted with each other for a long time.

    Ethnically also. Let's thank Alexander for that.

    Don't forget that Turkey and Greece resulted from ethnic cleansings, there were no clear borders other than personal identification.

    Well, for the food it's rather that we have foods with Turkish names, but the recipes are something that isn't met in Turkey itself. Moussakas is a brilliant example among many: the name is to be precise Arabic, but this food is met in Turkey as well. But in Greece is a lasagna-like dish, in Turkey it's sauteed eggplants with tomato sauce. Same goes for other dishes. For the baklava and the coffee, we don't deny their origins, but we have our own variations.

    For the appearance: well, all Mediterraneans are loud and hairy to an extent, but as I said in my OP, anthropologically they're not similar.

    Being loud and hairy are Kurdish traits not Turkish

    Under different name -> Baklava -> Baklavaki

    Oldu zaten orgylere de başlayalım

    We have also been neighbours and interacted much with Levant, Mesopotamians and Caucasians so we must be the same

    For the personal identification, I wouldn't say so. Based merely on the number of uprisings of the Siege up until the last and successful revolution, Greeks at least had a clear collective identity that could refer to. Whether some people accepted it or wanted to be a part of it is a completely other issue on its own. But that it existed, it did.

    Are you referring to population exchange between Turkey and Greece?
