In 1914, an estimated 25 million people lived in the Ottoman Empire. However, only 40 percent of these residents were of Turkish descent.

In all of Turkey there is not a single town and village that they founded themselves...

​@@akashishiganosuke6275 ...we destroyed Smyrna??? ...Is this something to be proud of??? ...Their entire food culture is Turkish??? ...What kind of festival is that once a year in Turkey?, where you parade through the streets with a drum and the robes of the Janissaries/Turkmens/Seljuks/Ottomans...that's Turkish culture!!! The Turks adopted almost everything, including the food culture of the Anatolians (Anatolia is a Greek word)... because the locals had a larger, older culture. Otherwise they would have assimilated after over 400 years, but that was not the case with the culture of the Anatolians: ...the Greek/Armenian/Aramaic/Kurdish/Lasian etc. cultures were taken over by the Turks...because the Turks moved around (nomads) no larger culture could emerge... In 1914, an estimated 25 million people lived in the Ottoman Empire. However, only 40 percent of these residents were of Turkish descent. There are also small Turkish festivals in Europe: e.g. Germany or Switzerland... I was there a few times...at these small Turkish festivals the Turks do, small dance performances with their folk clothes...but they don't have the clothes of the Janissaries/Turkmen/Seljuks/Ottomans.... .They don't play the simple drum...they don't eat the food of their origin, Central Asia...it is the clothes, the music and the food of the Anatolians... played the music of the Pontos Greeks and also danced the "choros" which is a Greek dance...the word "choros" is a Greek word and translated means "dance"...the Turks of Trapezon also use this word, they also dance the "choros" ...it is 100% identical... It's like this all over Turkey... Trepezon is just one example... well... Trapezus was born around 756 BC. Founded by Greeks in the 1st century BC, Greeks lived there until modern times...After Greece's defeat in the Greek-Turkish War of 1919-1922, the large population of Pontic Greeks was relocated to Greece as part of the “population exchange” agreed in the Treaty of Lausanne. On the other hand, The Greeks who converted to Islam, however, remained behind in Trabzon. and all the people who live there in today's Turkey... still play and dance the Greek "Choros"...peace

I love Turkey and the Turks!!! but... ...we destroyed smyrna?? ...Is this something to be proud of?? In the 9th century B.C. Aeolian Greeks established a fortified settlement here at a site now known as Old Smyrna. In the 8th century B.C. This was taken over by Ionian Greeks from Colophon and expanded into a polis. (Old) Smyrna, which is considered one of the poet Homer's...It remained Greek populated until modern times until 1922

Okay, it may have been under your rule in the past, but it was under Ottoman rule, that is, Turkish rule, since the 11th century. I was born in Izmir, my ancestors migrated from Thessaloniki to Izmir. We are people of the same culture, I think we should stop fighting and get along with each other. World balances never stay the same anyway. We don't know, maybe it will come under Greek rule again after 200 years. But Izmir has been under Turkish rule for about 1000 years. Don't forget this, my dear friend.
