For those Greeks who claim that they have no Turkish blood.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karamanlides
>Karamanlis are an Orthodox, Turkish-speaking people native to the Karaman and Cappadocia regions of Anatolia.
>year 1923
>Many Karamanlides were forced to leave their homes during the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey.
>Karamanlides were numbered at around 400,000 at the time of the exchange.
In 1920s Greek population is around 6m so it comes around %6.5 of Greeks are actually Turks.
Now you know presidents of Greece; Kostas Karamanlis, Konstantinos Karamanlis were actually Turk.

>>52246564
Yeap, they have even own bible written in Turkish with Greek alphabet.

It was well known that Greeks aren't ethnically Greek

So you think Greeks decide to leave their mother language and even though still prefer to stay as Christian?
if they are assuming that they are as Turkified as changing mother language, they should have be converted to Islam.
After 11th century so many nomad Turkish tribes filled in Anatolia. Some of them completely isolated from Central Turkish rule but more connected to local Greek villagers.

More likely than the opposite

Mother languages are not something easily to be changed. Especially non of minorities changed their mother language under Turkish rule. So you are far more likely to be wrong.

>So you think Greeks decide to leave their mother language
When did that happen, Mehmet? Ancient Greek and modern Greek are insanely similar. Koine Greek is perfectly understandable to Greeks of today.
>>52247369
Because modern Greek was created in the 1800's to emulate ancient and koine Greek
>>52247369
That is what i am saying. Follow the thread.
Swedecuck thinks that they are actually Greek who speaks Turkish. I am telling him that Karamlides are actually Turks who speaks Turkish but Christian and use Greek alphabet in Turkish which is unique to them.

Why would they do that?

No I speak the truth. Athens was an Albanian town. The North was Albanians, Bulgar and Turks.

whats the point of this discussion?
Instead of talking about the Karamanlides, why dont you talk about the actual 120,000 strong Turkish minority Greece has? They self-identify as Turks, they are recognized as a minority by the goverment, they have affirmative action quotas for positions in public institutions and for university places.

Other countries in europe (notably Germany) have much larger official Turkish populations. Why do you care about some old Turkish speaking group in Greece, when there are Turks, flying the Turkish flag, speaking Turkish, in the open?
Enough of this ethnic nationalist drivel. Its obvious you have an agenda. Maybe you should look to your own house, almost 30% of Turkey's population is from minority groups.

Why is your butt in fire?
>whats the point of this discussion?
Reveal something unique, share the info where i believe most of /int/ dont know about. Especially for those Geeks that claim to have pure Greek blood and give them pain by pointing two of their presidents were actually Turkish roots.
>why dont you talk about the actual 120,000 strong Turkish minority Greece has? They self-identify as Turks, they are recognized as a minority by the government, they have affirmative action quotas for positions in public institutions and for university places.
Why do you come to some thread about X topic and argue that why isnt this thread in Y topic?
>Enough of this ethnic nationalist drivel.
Ohh:DDD go and tell it to other threads where almost %99 of /int/ all about.
