As a greek the holy city of CONSTANTINOPLE needs to be returned to the Christian orthodox Greek people after it was stolen by Muslim invaders. One day we will take it back along with our other Greek cities and territories that Muslims stole from us just like how the Jews took back their country.

Well, that could be said about Turkey. The number of people in Turket that are Turkish by ethnicity is less then 30%. They are just Turks culturally. 20 million are Kurds anyway.

But you could also say that about Israel. Till 1945 the populations of Jews in Palestine was 4%. Then all the Jews were moved their, land stolen from Palestinians and given to Jews. You could also say that about Australia.

This is common in the world.

@yucel_eden Jews wete down to 4% because their land was stolen from them and they were being ethnically cleasened by the Muslim invaders just like the greeks of constantinople and asia minor or like the Armenian Christians or the coptic egyptians or the rest of north Africa. As you say might makes right so lets drive them out like we did in Spain and scicily.

[yucel_eden]

Actually that's bullshit. There was no problem between Jews and Muslims up until after Israel started grabbing land.

Muslims and Jews lived peacefully with no problems. Their population was always low. They just wanted Palestine as a country as that was the birth place of their relegion

[yucel_eden]

Oh and, you talk with so much hate. This is why there is war.

Southeastern Turkey is 90% Kurdish. It's officially part of Turkey even though we fight for autonomy. We still don't hate Turks.

@yucel_eden the Jewish lands were taken from them so that their population dwindled. The Jews were given tiny bits of land around all jewish towns and cities as were the palestinians but the palestinians were not happy about this and attacked the Jews threatening to drive them into the sea, though outnumbered the Jews won their freedom and Palestinians forfeited their lands as they were beaten. The jews have been beating Muslim skulls in ever since.

you blow enough turks up every week you must hate them.

[yucel_eden]

Though Constantinople is historically Christian and Greek.

I must say you are one delusional person.

You're full of hate. No logic. You hate Muslims not because they are wrong. You just hate them because that's who you are.

@yucel_eden I hate them for what they did yo my people.

[ibodi]

I think that city under ground should not miss too.

[yucel_eden]

I was thinking of going Izmir or to the Kurdish regions this year.

The current situation of turkey makes me want to stay away though.

Even the places you mentioned aren't safe anymore.

[ClassicRocker]
