As a Turk I’ve read the translation in disbelief. 3:23 on this part he’s saying in Turkish “şu anda memnunuz” which means “we’re content right now” or “we are fine right now” WHICH WAS TRANSLATED AS “There has been so much tragedies” !? And then he proceeds to say “but of course everyone left” with a giggle at the end. Many efforts to make us look bad.
That was wrong, but they don't really have to try to make Turks look bad, the entire documentary makes the point that Turkish nationalism has been disastrous and doesn't seem like it's going to end any time soon
Betweeen 1912 - 1923 there was war, followed by a population exchange, during war civillians (on both sides) suffer. But what is unforgiveable is that during the following century, during peacetime, the majority of the Christians and later the Jewish population was squeezed out, not through massacres, but through a heavyhanded bureaucracy that economically ruined many families (Varlik Vergisisi in 1942), Istanbul Pogroms (1955) and 101 other means.
Some interesting information: "Roum" comes from the Greek word "Romaios", which means "Roman". This is because the "Byzantine Empire" was, in fact, the Roman Empire in the east. Contrary to popular belief, Rome did not fall in the fifth century but survived until the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans in 1453.
Byzantine empire had nothing to do with Rome. Confirmed by the fact that the Roman Empire of the west NEVER came to the rescue during the siege of Constantinople by the Ottoman savages. Only mercenaries came who got paid and not the official Roman army. Which could've easily surround the jannisary savages and destroyed them. In fact thePope had made arrangements with the Ottomans not to interfere. LATINO POUTANES ALWAYS GREEK HATERS! THROUGHOUT THE AGES!
Rome did not end with the fall of Constantinople but went on as a moslem empire. The Ottoman sultans considered themselves as Roman emperors= Sultan of Rome was one of their titles. If one accepts a christian Rome, Why not a moslem one? If one accepts a greek speaking eastern rome, why not a turkish speaking one? The problem lies with western christian historians who were not able to accept orthodoxy or islam. But the greek speaking greeks of the Ottoman empire considered themselves as Roumi- Romans till the end. The core of the problem is that gradually, following the centuries, most of the Roumis adopted Islam and gradually became turkish speaking . If, todays turkish population is 90 millions , the population of Greece is around 10-12 millions. Guess why?
There are a few reasons why the Ottomans are not considered the continuation of Rome. First, the Ottomans were an exterior force that conquered the Roman state. Second, the Ottomans had their own unique culture. They did not use Roman law; their political culture operated quite differently; their language was of Central Asian origin; and their religion, Islam, was born outside the bounds of the empire. Finally, perhaps the most compelling reason why the Ottomans are not considered a continuation of Rome is that they reduced the native Roman population to second class citizens. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not claiming that there is no relation between the Ottoman Empire and Rome, but the connection between the two is not particularly strong.
@@rosskourtis9602 Hi, history student here. The Byzantines no longer had "Roman" traditions by the 15th century. They had been nothing like what Rome was. The Ottomans claimed the title by conquest, since they were controlling "Roman" land. Hence why the "Sultanate of Rûm (Rome)" also called themselves roman.
@@ergungeyikdagi3392 I agree with the rest, but you are wrong on the first part. "Sultan of Rome" doesn't reffer to the Sultan being Roman, but rather the place in which he ruled. There has been always the term "turk" and "rum" used by both sides to differentiate each other. The only thing that we ever had in common was that we were living in the same lands and having simular traditions to some extent
The guy in the 3:27 literally says "We're glad now" in Turkish. But the translation is "There's been so much tragedy". Greek and Turkish people are brothers. False media and post truth won't manage to ruin this again, I hope. Sending warmest greetings from Turkey to Greece. ı hope we'll stay strong and with solidarity against this lamest, cringest propoganda shit. And for my part, as a half Greek, I'm deeply sorry about the past. But If we may forgive each other, we'll built a way better future!
greeks are balkan, turks come out majority middle eastern in dna test. I dont know why but you turks have a hate mania and an admiration mania with the greeks which greeks dont understand. Greeks actually dont occupy themselves at all with you... Greeks say italians are una facia una racca aka same face same race... not turks... and you arent . turks are more closely related to caucasus and middle east nations not greeks. You only have a small land border with greece . I cant understand why you think you are the same with us...
I was going to write the same. Looks like he being happy is not enough drama to translate. Relax, this doesnt mean I dont acknowledge there was a lot of tragedy. Arte classifies this video as a documentary. If it was a drama then okay but if you call it a documentary then it is biased as they have not documented (translated) an important part.
The hate between them will never stop, it's not easy to forget the past . Religion and beliefs are different so no way these two countries can be friends or live together peacefully.

Little error in the documentary : The turkish military operation for the capture of Northern Cyprus took place in 1974. By that time, most of the greek minority was already forced to leave Turkey.
True Mr. Kavak: the confusion arose because of the terrible events in Cyprus in December 1963. Turkish nationalists became very angry with the Greeks so in 1964 they forced all Istanbullu Greeks who were not Turkish citizens to leave. This is why there were fewer Greeks left by 1974.
@@efstratiosfilis2290 You don't know the facts From the second world war, the Greeks were sent to labor battalions in Anatolia They were almost all exterminated. Also in 1955 there was also a great massacre of Greeks. In general, the Turks genocided the Greeks for over 500 years. Millions of victims, unique in world history.
Most Greeks left Turkey after the pogroms of 1955 . Turks say "it is happy the one who calls themselves a Turk and miserable anyone who is not a Turk and not a Tourist in Turkey. Turks cannot psychologically deal with minorities. Look what they have done to Kurds and more recently to Arabs.

A funny story. In my homeland Trabzon - Çaykara, a small town in the Blacks region where there are no Christians left, almost everybody knows and speaks Romeika. A Black Sea version of Pontic Greek. For the replacement of the Greek residents of the island of Imbros (Gökçeada) the government had a great idea, to move hundreds of Muslim families to the island at the beginning of the 1970s. My own uncle was also among those with his family. He lived there and died there. Here is the story. Right at the beginning of this Muslim migration, there are still no community places for them to gather and chat. Therefore they go to the cafeterias of the local Greek residents to spend time. One night, my father visiting his bigger brother, joins them while they sit in one of those cafeterias. One of the members of the new immigrants (not known to be very much intelligent) speaks to his fellow men in Greek and says that "Lets speak Romeika so that these guy won't understand what we are talking about". He interestingly thinks not speaking Turkish will hide what he is talking about, but never having an idea he has moved into the Greek population. This sentence is heard clear and loud by all the people in the cafeteria including the Greeks and one of the elder talks in return again in Greek saying "This guy is a big donkey". My father still tells us this story after 50 years and we listen to the story with tears in our eyes, laughing out loud.
Let all foreigners read about the pogrom of the Turks against the Greeks of Constantinople in 1955, September 6. The Turks forced the Greeks to change their surnames by putting the suffix oglou. The Greeks had a very difficult time in Turkey. Oppression, pain, death . in 1924 there were 400,000-500,000 Greeks in Constantinople alone and today it is 3000-4000. That says it all.
Yes we can’t say that the Turks had a very difficult time in Greece, because most of them were massacred earlier between 1800-1922. So you harvest what you sow.
@user-sf4ps3si7m you anatollian gypsies did worst..The genocide against the native Albanians of northern Greece...like the Cams..killed and raped ...burnt their houses and the rest who survived got expelled to turkey in population exchange...the ones who remained had to change their names and religion...you ain't bull shiting no one because the reality is difrent ...

@@PotDylan First of all, I am not Turkish in origin. I just lived there, studied them, and admire things about them. I have enough empathy (and also professional expertise) to see how blatantly there is an ongoing propaganda and demonization against Turks. Most of the comments under this video are extremely one sided. Greeks are not aware they are made to hate Turks only because they survived the Turkish rule for almost 1000 years, but they actually didn’t survive the Roman rule. Can you imagine what Carians, Pisidians or native Cypriots would have to say, if they survived the persecutions of the Roman church? So, instead of blaming the “Roman occupation” which wiped out all identities of the region, Greeks choose to blame the “Turk occupation” that allowed them to exist even longer than the whole Orthodox rule. So it seems to be a fault on their side, right? Because Greeks don’t remember how they were Greekified 1500 years ago, but they remember how they were NOT Turkified in the last 1000. But of course, “remember” is not in the literal means. What we remember or not remember about history, is only determined by the authorities. We “remember” what they want us to know, and most of the time they want us to know either more or less than what actually happened.

The irony of French media producing a documentary for Rums. Even though the French, the British and the Russians were the ones who sowed the seeds of discord between the Rums and the Ottomans. Painting the image that they want to paint. A prime example of the quote: The history is written by the victors. P.S. It is Rums, not Roums. From the turkish Rum Millet. That translates to "The Roman Nation".

Thank you for the truth, i'm only sad about many grandparents that were forced to leave their homeland by ottomans and my relatives that were slaughtered by ottomans, that they can't hear the truth about who exactly was the cause of all their troubles!
So what? That was two hundred years ago. The fact remains that Anatolia has been ethnically cleansed from its Greek inhabitants by Turkish ultra-nationalism in the last 200 years, and I'm saying this as someone who is half-Turkish.

Hundreds of mosques were build in Greece wich only few survived till today and thousands of Turks had to leave whole balkans after the Ottoman empire collapsed.

Does that make up for all the crimes committed against them ? You only emphasised on this part which might be true or they are afraid to say the truth due to more backlash. Anything to say about the injustices these people suffered ?
@@Gatar47858 First things first: respectfully, Greeks were not helpless victims, are you not aware of the massacres the greeeks carried out During the decline and dissolution of the Ottoman Empire? Muslim and Jewish inhabitants (including Turks, Kurds, Albanians, Bosniaks, Circassians, Serb Muslims, Greek Muslims, Muslim Roma, Pomaks) living in Muslim-minority territories previously under Ottoman control often found themselves persecuted after borders were re-drawn. These populations were subject to genocide, expropriation, massacres, religious persecution, mass rape, and ethnic cleansing. Albanians who were persecuted, expelled and massacred, they still reflect upon the atrocities 80 years on. you should have a read of “Massacres during the Greek War of Independence” - The Greek Massacres of Turks, Albanians and other Muslims (and Jews). And perhaps a paper from 1990 published by International Human Rights Watch - “DESTROYING ETHNIC IDENTITY: THE TURKS OF GREECE” regarding the human rights violations and persecution of Turkish minorities who still live in Greece. Where ethnic Turks are not allowed to rebuild their places of worship/communities, in Turkey, orthodox churches are taken care of beautifully, Greeks are not stripped of their Turkish nationality/citizenship, like Turks and non-Greeks are in Greece for no reason/and in violation of laws.
@@Gatar47858 what do you mean by “more blacklash”? Did you not watch the video? Greeks don’t receive backlash in modern day Turkey. Just like one of the men stated, they would never go back to live in Greece, I’m not sure where your sheltered perspective comes from, it’s almost like you view Turkey in the same light as North Korea, where people would be persecuted or killed due to their dissatisfaction with the gov/human rights etc.
@@Gatar47858 lastly, (hypothetically) if they were “afraid” to say the truth or not, the fact of the matter is, it’s very calculated, misleading, one-sided, and divisive for the broadcaster to leave that part out. …it leaves ignorant/uninformed viewers none the wiser.
Its funny how the turks back in 1955 kicked out the 150.000 greeks living in constantinople, but in greece we have the same amount of turks living and working in greece, enjoying the same rights as the locals.The greeks of constantinople lost their houses, jobs everything and were never compensated for their losses.
Greece literally builded its first mosque(if you call that a mosque tho) in 2021 😂. Wow. Like they are considered as muslim minority not Turkish. And even though there is a declsrstion from european human rights court to recognize Turkish minority. It has been 16 years and no action from greece. Yeah thanks. Not to mention all the Turks killed in 1821. Like in Morea... you guys the aggressor but somehowbyou turn out to be victim.
@@jackholler3572 I am really sorry that we were occupied by the Ottoman empire from the 1350s until 1831 against our will, and had to pay 3x (sometimes even more) taxes more than the taxes that muslim people in the Ottoman empire had to pay to the Sultan of the Ottoman empire. I am very sorry that every one of the ~300 attempts to regain our independence from the Ottoman empire was drowned in its own blood.

@@tomorrowneverdies567 Non-muslims were paying 2.5% more than the muslims 🤦♂️ In other words, muslims went to wars, and if they survived, they returned home and started working. Those war veterans paid 2.5% “muslim” tax. And the non-muslims who never went to wars, got married, founded/inherited their businesses, and built their heritage, paid 5% “gayrimuslim” tax. Also, Turkish army made a coup in 1960, to take that “Nato-ally” Prime Minister down. They court-martialed him, and then HANGED him for his crimes, primarily the ‘55 pogrom. Now can you please tell me what Greece did to the responsibles of the hundreds thousands of muslims massacred in Greece during 1800s? Or, have Greeks even been condemning the culprits behind the terrorist militant organization EOKA-B, who massacred and persecuted Turkish Cypriots for 10 years, attempted assassinations to Makarios (the Archbishop and President of Cyprus), perpetrated the ‘74 COUP in Republic of Cyprus and caused the division, also assassinated the US ambassador Rodger P. Davies and his secretary in Cyprus in 1974? Or you commemorate them as heroes?
@@krbn80 " Non-muslims were paying 2.5% more than the muslims " - I do not believe that all non-muslim people everywhere in the Ot.empire payed the same taxes. But I can tell you from what I have read, that at least occasionally, people in Greece (non-muslim) payed huge taxes. "And the non-muslims who never went to wars, got married, founded/inherited their businesses, and built their heritage, paid 5% “gayrimuslim” tax." - I am sorry, but this does not take into account what I said above, and also many other things, such as the fact that a turkish person could lawfully order a greek or other non-muslim person to carry them on their backs (as they did), and many other injustices towards the non-muslim populations. What massacres of "hundreds of thousands" did Greece do during the 19th century exactly? Evidence? "Or, have Greeks even been condemning the culprits behind the terrorist militant organization EOKA-B" - of course I do. "Or you commemorate them as heroes?" - I do not even know what they did. The point of my previous comment was to demonstrate to the person above, that greek people at least between the 14th and 19th centuries can hardly be considered as aggressors, as they were under a brutal and tyranical occupying regime of the Ot.empire. I never claimed that greek people are saints, and that they have never killed other people. For example emperor Basil II poke the eyes of the remaining bulgarian soldiers after they lost a battle in the year 1025, and sent them back to their king in Bulgaria, who killed himself when he saw them. Or, the famous massacre of Tripolitsa (modern day Tripoli, Peloponese, Greece), in September 1821, where muslim (turkish?) and all of its jish population was massacred by the rebelious greek forces (totally ~6k to 12k people), even children and old people and women, some of which were burnt alive in their houses. However, please notice that such events do not simply happen because the perpetrators are "bad people". The turkish, jish and greek people there knew each other for ~40 years. And they (apparently) were so badly treated all their lives, so horribly, that they wanted to kill these people. Please do not misunderstand me. I would never justify unnecessary violent actions. Today, turkish and greek people have the best relations. But as you see, this was not the case between the 14th and 19th centuries, under these circumstances, where people had different rights and obligations, and different identities. TR ❤GR
Collective memory is something invaluable and sacred, not only for us Greeks, but humanity as a whole. It is only a matter of time, until the official restoration of historical truth and justice, in memory of those countless innocent victims - souls, that were lost in sorrow, pain, complete silence and in the shadows (specially women, children and the elderly). It is a matter of ethics and morality. Far beyond ethnicities, races and religions. Not a matter of hatred and revenge, primarily a matter of memory and justice. IAGS has already passed a relative resolution, recognizing the extermination and deportation of the Christian people as Genocide. The notable book “The Thirty-Year Genocide: Turkey’s Destruction of Its Christian Minorities, 1894-1924”, is another step towards the restoration of historical truth.

These are not the last Greeks in Turkey. There are no last Greeks in Turkey because most of the inhabitants of Turkey are Greeks who were forcibly converted to Islam so as not to be slaughtered. There are 35-40 million Greeks in Turkey, and 30-35 million Kurds. The rest are Armenians, Assyrians, Persians and Jews. The real Mongolian Turks are not more than 5 million.
@@Pyrrhic537 The Greeks even in Greece when the Ottomans were here did not mix with them and because of that they had an awareness of their glorious past which made them look down on the Ottomans, but mainly because of religion. The Greeks of today's Turkey are all crypto-Christians and they only marry crypto-Christians. A DNA test solves many such problems and that is why it is prohibited in Turkey, because the Turkish state wants to present the Turks as a nation.
So many twists and turns in your tale to find a way to insult Turks. Still not creative enough though. How many Turks in Greece live by your logic? After hundreds of years many Greeks have Turkish DNA too. Be a big boy and accept it. Because once you do that lasting peace will follow. I wish more Greeks were able to return to their homeland as well as Turks back to Greece. Maybe possible sometime this century.
I'm Turkish. I have a Greek friend Stelyo who lives in Athens. He is an average Greek nationalist. We met online but that didn't stop us from loving each other. We talked a lot about history and culture and one day we both decided to take a DNA test. The result was that I was 44% Western Anatolian, 19% Albanian, 37% Greek, while my friend Stelyo, a Greek nationalist, was only 40% Greek. The rest was all Anatolia and Mesopotamia. I don't know if we are brothers, but we are definitely cousins.
I clicked on this video out of curiosity, but the editorial style disappointed me. The one-sidedness of this video just disgusted me. No one mentions the atrocities committed against the Turks. All the suffering in the history of this land is mutual. When the Greek state invaded the Anatolia in 1919, the Ottoman Greeks supported them. The Turks saw their Greek neighbours wearing Greek uniforms and going to slaughter Turks. When the Greek army failed in Anatolia, the Ottoman Greeks set their own lands on fire and fled to Greece. In addition, millions of Turks living in the Balkans were either slaughtered or forced to flee to Anatolia; as their mosques were destroyed. Turks do not tell these stories again and again, and hold grudges against the Balkan nations. Because the nationalist spirit of the time led to such actions for both sides. Being a whiny does not benefit anyone. The effort to portray Turks as monsters is the work of westerners, especially those who overly sanctify ancient Greece and ancient Rome. The Greeks, sadly, always allow the westerners to make them dream of nostalgia. As a secular Turk, I have no problem with my Greek brothers and sisters. But this kind of documentaries always reminds me: no matter how much you want to be a secular, peaceful and humanist Turkish citizen, in the eyes of westerners you are always a barbaric Turk. Anyway, so be it... I think the biggest weapon of us Turks is that we don't care about unjustified bad things said about us. ''Peace at home, peace in the world''
Who where the Turks in Balkan? You mean the Albanians, who where oppressed both by th Greeks and the Turkish. Still to this day neither Greece or Turkey does not recognise the Albanian community that used to live or still lives in their territory.
Yes, I am alway struck by how no one mentions the mass slaughter and ethnic cleansing of Turks by the Greek nationalists encouraged by the British, only to be betrayed by the British.
Why don't you mention 5 years before 1919 that when Greek army landed in Izmir where Greeks were the more tha half majority, Turks has already began systematic ethnic cleansing Greeks from1913. You Turks massacred 1.5 million Armenians in 1915 alone, massacred one million Greeks from1913 to 1921. It was Turks who set Izmir on fire. Witnesses even saw Turks pouring oil on Greek civilians who didnt escap and setting them on fire. It was old practice of Turks to destroy Greek villages by fire. In 1913, Turks burned down several Greek villages in Pontus region of Black Sea.
Greek-populated Imbros was supposed to be self-governing per the Lausanne Treaty, but of course the Turks didn't honor that, either, resulting in the importation of mainland Turks as well as the creation of an open-air prison in the 1960s. The prisoners that terrorized, raped and murdered Greek islanders while the Turkish government appropriate properties, forcing many to flee to Greece.
According to Lausanne Treaty Western Thrace was also accepted as self governing region. As it was not realized bu Greek Authirities Turkey took the same action

Greeks and Turks have lived together for centuries. The majority of Turkish people do not have any hatred towards Greeks. Some politically instigated groups are trying to create hatred between these two neighbors through their rhetoric and by distorting what is being said, as your channel does. They may not have genetic commonalities, but they have many common cultures and traditions. This situation exists all over the world; some groups feed on polarization and hostility. But that doesn't stop me from reminding you that journalism must be done impartially and with integrity.
As a Turk, i would suggest you look for another translator. French-English part is pretty well, actually, but that isn't the case for Turkish-English. These lands belong both Turks and Greeks since they've lived together for centuries. I hope the Turkish government doesn't try to eradicate this nearly forgotten customs. The country is already filled with migrants all over the world. And these are the real people who belong to this country rather than those who couldn't even understand Turkish at all, imho. Shame as the economic crisis deepens, the rate of childbirth dwindles. There won't be many Turks left in the end. It's the same with West. They are losing against the sheer numbers. So do we... Well, no one is going to live forever.

there are some parts in subtitles that was translated incorrectly or so on purpose. There were so much tragedies on both sides and in 1974 Turkish government didn't invade northern Cyprus but saved thousands of Turkish lives and protected their rights to live on the island rather than having a mindset that we had to conquer all the land there and it must belong to Turks.

The fact that Turkish people started doing all these ancestry DNA tests and the results are showing Greek DNA by 30% up to 70% in some cases, is enough to show what has been going on the region the last thousands of years. Christians who were forced to become Muslims and were gradually Turkified, in order to turn against their own people and push them out of the region. Greeks have been living in these lands for thousands of years, since Homer, and were all brutally exterminated or fell victims of ethnic cleansing, alongside the Armenians who suffered the worst Genocide. And Turkey is not able to recognize anything, even though the Armenian Genocide has been accepted around the world.
@@Traurigzwz-cw4vx You are right, there is no exclusive ''Greek'' or ''Turkish'' DNA. But let me put it this way, the DNA of most Turkish people is much more similar to that of the ancient Greeks (a connection that modern Greeks have as well) than to that of the ancient Turkic people.

Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974 not 1964. Some translations of Greek were off but very nice and informative documentary , the work done overall is amazing . Thank you.
Roum, or Rum, means Romans. The ancestors of all Greeks living today called themselves Romans for almost two millennia. There was never a people calling themselves "Byzantine". There was a Roman Empire in the East whose people called themselves Romans (Romaioi, Romioi) and their nation Romania (land of the Romans). Remnants of these people exist not only in Turkey but in all of the Middle East.
@AKRITAS365 Because the eastern Roman empire was a Greek part and the western part was a Roman one. Roman's always helped the turks against the Greeks . Even today Italy (if we suppose they are the descendants of Roman's) support turkey and Albania against the Greeks. It is all time the same scenario.
@@ΙωάννηςΕλ turks believe they're all alone in this, and everyone's against them... whenas greeks were always the ones left alone in all conflicts, tricked into the lion's cage...

True, the Greeks suffered greatly from the Turks. Consider that in Constaninople in 1924 there were 500,000 Greeks and today there are 3,000. Read a little about the pogrom that the Turks did to the Greeks of Constantinople in 1955, September 6.
Most Christian and European nations really don’t care. They’re willing to support anyone for the right price. It’s a really important part of GREEK history.
😂. And archeologists are discovering new things all the time, we are also descended from Şaka people and they've discovered DNA in eastern Anatolia to that effect.
Well, We have nothing to be ashamed of as Turks. Others would have done and indeed they already did much worse to Turks. And you can continue to dislike us, we don’t much like you either. Of course I feel sorry for the Rum’s, but I am also sorry for the Turks that are being opressed by the Greek government in Western Thrace or EOKA’s massacres in Cyprus. Seen some comments about ‘what massacre’, then open some unbiased book’s cover and learn about objective history. So its karma. You reap what you sow.
I spent almost 8 years working in Istanbul from the early 2000s. Although I would regard the Turks (then) as some of the friendliest people on earth, they did try to hide their nationalistic and xenophobic tendencies. Although they do have many skeletons in their closets (the Armenians and Greeks, notably), they are quick to criticise Israel and the USA. A Turk will criticise the UK for the once mighty British Empire and its attendant results, forgetting that the Ottoman Empire also colonised nations and forcibly converted many to Islam, among other things.
There's a difference between understanding that your country might have colonized most of the world, therefore not blaming anyone else for their genocides and discarding the idea that your country had likely genocided on other people, therefore blaming Turkey for its "supposed" genocide
Yes this is true. It's all good until you bring up a ''difficult'' subject. The difference is that in Greece they teach about the massacres against the Turks in Tripolitsa and other places and they tell you it's a horrible event. While in Turkey, children are taught that there were no genocides, and that the Turkish people never did any harm to anyone.

A monumental tragedy for the region and (even most of them do not see it) for Turkey themselves. Turks allowed and in many cases gladly joined the organized pogroms of their government against Greeks. They can find some redemption by lifting all the restrictions imposed to the Greek minority even today and to provide incentives for the community to survive and grow again. But I am afraid that is exactly what they do not want to see happening
Ottoman Turks allowed Greeks to be highly influential citizens, exempting them of military service in exchange for a tax and granted them freedom of religion, language, culture and trade and even a christian judicial system for their disputes. Only thing Greeks can really complain about is devshirme system, in which one boy in every 40 boys were taken to be raised as trusted government employees and statesment and the state gave the family a tax exemption. However we cannot say the same for the Republic of Turkey, during which not only Greeks, but also most Turks and Kurds suffered a lot. One big difference, we had nowhere else to go. And I must say that the translation is very very misleading and provoking. The Greek Turkish man says: topraklarımızı istimlak ettiler (they (the government) expropriated/bought our land by decree), the subtitle says: they (the government) confiscated our land. And many Greeks left Greek islands in those times to go to USA, Brazil and Australia for better opportunities. Not only Greeks in Turkey. We should also consider economic circumstances.
No Joe not many Turks have the central asian characteristics genetically. When the Turkmen occupied Anatolia they intermarried with all the indigenous Anatolian peoples. Turks are the amalgamation today of all those groups plus people who converted to Islam. Conversion was not always by force of violence.

This is true.
Betweeen 1912 - 1923 there was war, followed by a population exchange, during war civillians (on both sides) suffer. But what is unforgiveable is that during the following century, during peacetime, the majority of the Christians and later the Jewish population was squeezed out, not through massacres, but through a heavyhanded bureaucracy that economically ruined many families (Varlik Vergisisi in 1942), Istanbul Pogroms (1955) and 101 other means.
@@jean-zq2wgThere is nothing to your business here. Turkey, as the name suggests, is the country of Turks. It is quite normal to love our nation
Some interesting information:
"Roum" comes from the Greek word "Romaios", which means "Roman". This is because the "Byzantine Empire" was, in fact, the Roman Empire in the east. Contrary to popular belief, Rome did not fall in the fifth century but survived until the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans in 1453.
Byzantine empire had nothing to do with Rome.
Confirmed by the fact that the Roman Empire of the west NEVER came to the rescue during the siege of Constantinople by the Ottoman savages.

LATINO POUTANES ALWAYS GREEK HATERS! THROUGHOUT THE AGES!
Rome did not end with the fall of Constantinople but went on as a moslem empire. The Ottoman sultans considered themselves as Roman emperors= Sultan of Rome was one of their titles. If one accepts a christian Rome, Why not a moslem one? If one accepts a greek speaking eastern rome, why not a turkish speaking one? The problem lies with western christian historians who were not able to accept orthodoxy or islam. But the greek speaking greeks of the Ottoman empire considered themselves as Roumi- Romans till the end. The core of the problem is that gradually, following the centuries, most of the Roumis adopted Islam and gradually became turkish speaking . If, todays turkish population is 90 millions , the population of Greece is around 10-12 millions. Guess why?
There are a few reasons why the Ottomans are not considered the continuation of Rome. First, the Ottomans were an exterior force that conquered the Roman state. Second, the Ottomans had their own unique culture. They did not use Roman law; their political culture operated quite differently; their language was of Central Asian origin; and their religion, Islam, was born outside the bounds of the empire. Finally, perhaps the most compelling reason why the Ottomans are not considered a continuation of Rome is that they reduced the native Roman population to second class citizens.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not claiming that there is no relation between the Ottoman Empire and Rome, but the connection between the two is not particularly strong.
@@rosskourtis9602 Hi, history student here. The Byzantines no longer had "Roman" traditions by the 15th century. They had been nothing like what Rome was. The Ottomans claimed the title by conquest, since they were controlling "Roman" land. Hence why the "Sultanate of Rûm (Rome)" also called themselves roman.
@@ergungeyikdagi3392 I agree with the rest, but you are wrong on the first part. "Sultan of Rome" doesn't reffer to the Sultan being Roman, but rather the place in which he ruled. There has been always the term "turk" and "rum" used by both sides to differentiate each other. The only thing that we ever had in common was that we were living in the same lands and having simular traditions to some extent
The guy in the 3:27 literally says "We're glad now" in Turkish. But the translation is "There's been so much tragedy". Greek and Turkish people are brothers. False media and post truth won't manage to ruin this again, I hope. Sending warmest greetings from Turkey to Greece. ı hope we'll stay strong and with solidarity against this lamest, cringest propoganda shit. And for my part, as a half Greek, I'm deeply sorry about the past. But If we may forgive each other, we'll built a way better future!
greeks are balkan, turks come out majority middle eastern in dna test. I dont know why but you turks have a hate mania and an admiration mania with the greeks which greeks dont understand. Greeks actually dont occupy themselves at all with you... Greeks say italians are una facia una racca aka same face same race... not turks... and you arent . turks are more closely related to caucasus and middle east nations not greeks.

Little error in the documentary : The turkish military operation for the capture of Northern Cyprus took place in 1974. By that time, most of the greek minority was already forced to leave Turkey.
True Mr. Kavak: the confusion arose because of the terrible events in Cyprus in December 1963. Turkish nationalists became very angry with the Greeks so in 1964 they forced all Istanbullu Greeks who were not Turkish citizens to leave. This is why there were fewer Greeks left by 1974.

A funny story. In my homeland Trabzon - Çaykara, a small town in the Blacks region where there are no Christians left, almost everybody knows and speaks Romeika. A Black Sea version of Pontic Greek.
For the replacement of the Greek residents of the island of Imbros (Gökçeada) the government had a great idea, to move hundreds of Muslim families to the island at the beginning of the 1970s. My own uncle was also among those with his family. He lived there and died there.
Here is the story. Right at the beginning of this Muslim migration, there are still no community places for them to gather and chat. Therefore they go to the cafeterias of the local Greek residents to spend time.
One night, my father visiting his bigger brother, joins them while they sit in one of those cafeterias. One of the members of the new immigrants (not known to be very much intelligent) speaks to his fellow men in Greek and says that "Lets speak Romeika so that these guy won't understand what we are talking about". He interestingly thinks not speaking Turkish will hide what he is talking about, but never having an idea he has moved into the Greek population.
This sentence is heard clear and loud by all the people in the cafeteria including the Greeks and one of the elder talks in return again in Greek saying "This guy is a big donkey".
My father still tells us this story after 50 years and we listen to the story with tears in our eyes, laughing out loud.
Let all foreigners read about the pogrom of the Turks against the Greeks of Constantinople in 1955, September 6.
The Turks forced the Greeks to change their surnames by putting the suffix oglou. The Greeks had a very difficult time in Turkey. Oppression, pain, death .
in 1924 there were 400,000-500,000 Greeks in Constantinople alone and today it is 3000-4000. That says it all.
Yes we can’t say that the Turks had a very difficult time in Greece, because most of them were massacred earlier between 1800-1922. So you harvest what you sow.

@@PotDylan First of all, I am not Turkish in origin. I just lived there, studied them, and admire things about them. I have enough empathy (and also professional expertise) to see how blatantly there is an ongoing propaganda and demonization against Turks.
Most of the comments under this video are extremely one sided. Greeks are not aware they are made to hate Turks only because they survived the Turkish rule for almost 1000 years, but they actually didn’t survive the Roman rule.
Can you imagine what Carians, Pisidians or native Cypriots would have to say, if they survived the persecutions of the Roman church?
So, instead of blaming the “Roman occupation” which wiped out all identities of the region, Greeks choose to blame the “Turk occupation” that allowed them to exist even longer than the whole Orthodox rule.
So it seems to be a fault on their side, right? Because Greeks don’t remember how they were Greekified 1500 years ago, but they remember how they were NOT Turkified in the last 1000.
But of course, “remember” is not in the literal means. What we remember or not remember about history, is only determined by the authorities.
We “remember” what they want us to know, and most of the time they want us to know either more or less than what actually happened.

So what? That was two hundred years ago. The fact remains that Anatolia has been ethnically cleansed from its Greek inhabitants by Turkish ultra-nationalism in the last 200 years, and I'm saying this as someone who is half-Turkish.
I love Turkey, I love its natural richness, I love its cuisine and Turkish hospitality, but we won't grow wiser by ignoring and denying our past wrong-doings.
Turk alert.
The most important thing to remember is that it all used to be Greek at one point Orthodox Christian and tolerance now it's Turkish with no tolerance they made recently the whole Hagia Sophia a mosque not to mention that turkeys in the northern part of Cyprus since 1974
The same for you. Whole Greece was a province of Ottoman Empire for 400 years. Hundreds of mosques were build in Greece wich only few survived till today and thousands of Turks had to leave whole balkans after the Ottoman empire collapsed. You still deny the ethnical roots of the Turks in western Thrace and call them "Muslim greeks", wich is bullshit.

One thing I noticed about the earlier part of the video where the Greeks who live on the island were interviewed is that the man said “but currently, we are quite happy” (living here”…the subtitles refused to reflect that.
Does that make up for all the crimes committed against them ? You only emphasised on this part which might be true or they are afraid to say the truth due to more backlash. Anything to say about the injustices these people suffered ?
@@Gatar47858 First things first: respectfully, Greeks were not helpless victims, are you not aware of the massacres the greeeks carried out During the decline and dissolution of the Ottoman Empire? Muslim and Jewish inhabitants (including Turks, Kurds, Albanians, Bosniaks, Circassians, Serb Muslims, Greek Muslims, Muslim Roma, Pomaks) living in Muslim-minority territories previously under Ottoman control often found themselves persecuted after borders were re-drawn. These populations were subject to genocide, expropriation, massacres, religious persecution, mass rape, and ethnic cleansing.
Albanians who were persecuted, expelled and massacred, they still reflect upon the atrocities 80 years on.
you should have a read of “Massacres during the Greek War of Independence” - The Greek Massacres of Turks, Albanians and other Muslims (and Jews).
And perhaps a paper from 1990 published by International Human Rights Watch - “DESTROYING ETHNIC IDENTITY: THE TURKS OF GREECE” regarding the human rights violations and persecution of Turkish minorities who still live in Greece.
Where ethnic Turks are not allowed to rebuild their places of worship/communities, in Turkey, orthodox churches are taken care of beautifully, Greeks are not stripped of their Turkish nationality/citizenship, like Turks and non-Greeks are in Greece for no reason/and in violation of laws.
@@Gatar47858 what do you mean by “more blacklash”? Did you not watch the video? Greeks don’t receive backlash in modern day Turkey.
Just like one of the men stated, they would never go back to live in Greece, I’m not sure where your sheltered perspective comes from, it’s almost like you view Turkey in the same light as North Korea, where people would be persecuted or killed due to their dissatisfaction with the gov/human rights etc.
@@Gatar47858 lastly, (hypothetically) if they were “afraid” to say the truth or not, the fact of the matter is, it’s very calculated, misleading, one-sided, and divisive for the broadcaster to leave that part out. …it leaves ignorant/uninformed viewers none the wiser.
That's the only thing you can say about the video?
Its funny how the turks back in 1955 kicked out the 150.000 greeks living in constantinople, but in greece we have the same amount of turks living and working in greece, enjoying the same rights as the locals.The greeks of constantinople lost their houses, jobs everything and were never compensated for their losses.

And even though there is a declsrstion from european human rights court to recognize Turkish minority. It has been 16 years and no action from greece. Yeah thanks.

@@tomorrowneverdies567 Non-muslims were paying 2.5% more than the muslims 🤦♂️
In other words, muslims went to wars, and if they survived, they returned home and started working. Those war veterans paid 2.5% “muslim” tax. And the non-muslims who never went to wars, got married, founded/inherited their businesses, and built their heritage, paid 5% “gayrimuslim” tax.
Also, Turkish army made a coup in 1960, to take that “Nato-ally” Prime Minister down. They court-martialed him, and then HANGED him for his crimes, primarily the ‘55 pogrom.

Or you commemorate them as heroes?
@@krbn80
" Non-muslims were paying 2.5% more than the muslims " - I do not believe that all non-muslim people everywhere in the Ot.empire payed the same taxes. But I can tell you from what I have read, that at least occasionally, people in Greece (non-muslim) payed huge taxes.
"And the non-muslims who never went to wars, got married, founded/inherited their businesses, and built their heritage, paid 5% “gayrimuslim” tax." - I am sorry, but this does not take into account what I said above, and also many other things, such as the fact that a turkish person could lawfully order a greek or other non-muslim person to carry them on their backs (as they did), and many other injustices towards the non-muslim populations.
What massacres of "hundreds of thousands" did Greece do during the 19th century exactly? Evidence?
"Or, have Greeks even been condemning the culprits behind the terrorist militant organization EOKA-B" - of course I do.
"Or you commemorate them as heroes?" - I do not even know what they did.
The point of my previous comment was to demonstrate to the person above, that greek people at least between the 14th and 19th centuries can hardly be considered as aggressors, as they were under a brutal and tyranical occupying regime of the Ot.empire.
I never claimed that greek people are saints, and that they have never killed other people. For example emperor Basil II poke the eyes of the remaining bulgarian soldiers after they lost a battle in the year 1025, and sent them back to their king in Bulgaria, who killed himself when he saw them. Or, the famous massacre of Tripolitsa (modern day Tripoli, Peloponese, Greece), in September 1821, where muslim (turkish?) and all of its jish population was massacred by the rebelious greek forces (totally ~6k to 12k people), even children and old people and women, some of which were burnt alive in their houses.
However, please notice that such events do not simply happen because the perpetrators are "bad people". The turkish, jish and greek people there knew each other for ~40 years. And they (apparently) were so badly treated all their lives, so horribly, that they wanted to kill these people. Please do not misunderstand me. I would never justify unnecessary violent actions.
Today, turkish and greek people have the best relations. But as you see, this was not the case between the 14th and 19th centuries, under these circumstances, where people had different rights and obligations, and different identities.

Collective memory is something invaluable and sacred, not only for us Greeks, but humanity as a whole.
It is only a matter of time, until the official restoration of historical truth and justice, in memory of those countless innocent victims - souls, that were lost in sorrow, pain, complete silence and in the shadows (specially women, children and the elderly). It is a matter of ethics and morality. Far beyond ethnicities, races and religions. Not a matter of hatred and revenge, primarily a matter of memory and justice.

i realy would not want to make "what-aboutism" but a good benchmark is that when greece gained independence, and doing that with mass killing the Turks in todays greece, other Rums continiued to live as they were as members of the empire in İstanbul and Anadolu.
when İstanbul and Anadolu was occupied by the allies and greece, many Rums cheered and welcomed them. Not a single rational human being in the world would expect peace and comfort among communities after that.
To summerise, Minorities like rums and armenians etc. in Türkiye failed the honour test when the Turks were weak and likely to lose everything, as communities as whole, did not act as 'Neighbours'. Ultimately Turks survived against all odds and traitors' act did not pay off.
My Brother, can you define who is a Turk? Are you a Mongol? When the Turkish race came into the picture, how many years ago? Do you know how old is the Greek race? When the Mongols came the Greeks were already there? You mentioned about Greek independence. Let me give you this example: I come to your hose I take everything you have, I take your children, I steal you land your farm, I make you my slave. What do you think - Do you want to reclaim what was taken from you? At what cost do you want to gain your independence?
You talk about Istanbul, was Hagia Sophia there prior to the Turks? Do you know what Istanbul mean? Istan - to Bul/Poli - City. At that time there was no other city like Constantinople you needed mot to say the name - you only needed to say "I am going to the City" Brother have you done a DNA test to see how much of Greek blood is in you?
Great documentary despite mistakes in translations and some misinformation. I hope French broadcasts also "dare" to prepare something on how they subordinated and nearly eliminated the Britannique - Basque - Burgundy and Provence cultures along with others in its territory.

Turkey is no exception. Look at the Christian communities in all muslim countries. Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan... A history of constant persecution...
Lebanon is almost 50 percent Christian. Maybe more as there is not an accurate account recently Christians have actually been treated with great respect untill the west funded groups like ISIS, Al shabab, Al nusra, al quida, the taliban, HTS..... I could go on. But from the Iotola of Iran, to Alshabab in Africa. Persocution of Christians would not be happening without the geopolitical greed of our leaders.
Also NATO is the worst enemy of orthodoxy and has resulted in millions dead. From Georgia to Serbia, to putting Ukraine against Russia. Additionally, who is bombing churches in the holy land...? Muslims or Israel...? It's isreal
Nope. Syria is 7% Christian and many escaped Turkey due to the persecution of Christians and Armenians in the early twentieth century by the Young Turks. There is a church in every corner when you walk in any major Syrian city.
@@gabriels6795 Lebanon used to be more than 50% Christians but Muslims took over the Government and all the local elections and slowly pushing Christians aside and out of any control of the country.

What Happened to Turks in Crete, Mainland Greece? any idea?
These are not the last Greeks in Turkey. There are no last Greeks in Turkey because most of the inhabitants of Turkey are Greeks who were forcibly converted to Islam so as not to be slaughtered. There are 35-40 million Greeks in Turkey, and 30-35 million Kurds. The rest are Armenians, Assyrians, Persians and Jews. The real Mongolian Turks are not more than 5 million.
Not sure that their knowledge of it is going to change them now, they are so damn brainwashed with hatred.
But surely alot of mixing took place so even someone who looks a bit Mongolian might have Greek dna too?
@@Pyrrhic537 The Greeks even in Greece when the Ottomans were here did not mix with them and because of that they had an awareness of their glorious past which made them look down on the Ottomans, but mainly because of religion. The Greeks of today's Turkey are all crypto-Christians and they only marry crypto-Christians. A DNA test solves many such problems and that is why it is prohibited in Turkey, because the Turkish state wants to present the Turks as a nation.
So many twists and turns in your tale to find a way to insult Turks. Still not creative enough though. How many Turks in Greece live by your logic? After hundreds of years many Greeks have Turkish DNA too. Be a big boy and accept it. Because once you do that lasting peace will follow. I wish more Greeks were able to return to their homeland as well as Turks back to Greece. Maybe possible sometime this century.
john you are really drinking a lot, that's so harmful for your health..
I'm Turkish. I have a Greek friend Stelyo who lives in Athens. He is an average Greek nationalist. We met online but that didn't stop us from loving each other. We talked a lot about history and culture and one day we both decided to take a DNA test. The result was that I was 44% Western Anatolian, 19% Albanian, 37% Greek, while my friend Stelyo, a Greek nationalist, was only 40% Greek. The rest was all Anatolia and Mesopotamia. I don't know if we are brothers, but we are definitely cousins.
😂
Another one...
I clicked on this video out of curiosity, but the editorial style disappointed me. The one-sidedness of this video just disgusted me. No one mentions the atrocities committed against the Turks. All the suffering in the history of this land is mutual. When the Greek state invaded the Anatolia in 1919, the Ottoman Greeks supported them. The Turks saw their Greek neighbours wearing Greek uniforms and going to slaughter Turks. When the Greek army failed in Anatolia, the Ottoman Greeks set their own lands on fire and fled to Greece. In addition, millions of Turks living in the Balkans were either slaughtered or forced to flee to Anatolia; as their mosques were destroyed. Turks do not tell these stories again and again, and hold grudges against the Balkan nations. Because the nationalist spirit of the time led to such actions for both sides. Being a whiny does not benefit anyone. The effort to portray Turks as monsters is the work of westerners, especially those who overly sanctify ancient Greece and ancient Rome. The Greeks, sadly, always allow the westerners to make them dream of nostalgia. As a secular Turk, I have no problem with my Greek brothers and sisters. But this kind of documentaries always reminds me: no matter how much you want to be a secular, peaceful and humanist Turkish citizen, in the eyes of westerners you are always a barbaric Turk. Anyway, so be it... I think the biggest weapon of us Turks is that we don't care about unjustified bad things said about us. ''Peace at home, peace in the world''
Who where the Turks in Balkan?
You mean the Albanians, who where oppressed both by th Greeks and the Turkish.
Still to this day neither Greece or Turkey does not recognise the Albanian community that used to live or still lives in their territory.
Why is bro trying to join in on the conversation
Shut up @@aschannel2009
Yes, I am alway struck by how no one mentions the mass slaughter and ethnic cleansing of Turks by the Greek nationalists encouraged by the British, only to be betrayed by the British.
Why don't you mention 5 years before 1919 that when Greek army landed in Izmir where Greeks were the more tha half majority, Turks has already began systematic ethnic cleansing Greeks from1913. You Turks massacred 1.5 million Armenians in 1915 alone, massacred one million Greeks from1913 to 1921. It was Turks who set Izmir on fire. Witnesses even saw Turks pouring oil on Greek civilians who didnt escap and setting them on fire. It was old practice of Turks to destroy Greek villages by fire. In 1913, Turks burned down several Greek villages in Pontus region of Black Sea.
Greek-populated Imbros was supposed to be self-governing per the Lausanne Treaty, but of course the Turks didn't honor that, either, resulting in the importation of mainland Turks as well as the creation of an open-air prison in the 1960s. The prisoners that terrorized, raped and murdered Greek islanders while the Turkish government appropriate properties, forcing many to flee to Greece.

Greeks and Turks have lived together for centuries. The majority of Turkish people do not have any hatred towards Greeks. Some politically instigated groups are trying to create hatred between these two neighbors through their rhetoric and by distorting what is being said, as your channel does. They may not have genetic commonalities, but they have many common cultures and traditions. This situation exists all over the world; some groups feed on polarization and hostility. But that doesn't stop me from reminding you that journalism must be done impartially and with integrity.
As a Turk, i would suggest you look for another translator. French-English part is pretty well, actually, but that isn't the case for Turkish-English.
These lands belong both Turks and Greeks since they've lived together for centuries. I hope the Turkish government doesn't try to eradicate this nearly forgotten customs.
The country is already filled with migrants all over the world. And these are the real people who belong to this country rather than those who couldn't even understand Turkish at all, imho. Shame as the economic crisis deepens, the rate of childbirth dwindles. There won't be many Turks left in the end. It's the same with West. They are losing against the sheer numbers. So do we...

there are some parts in subtitles that was translated incorrectly or so on purpose.

Another imbecile who took MyHeritage results seriously...
The fact that Turkish people started doing all these ancestry DNA tests and the results are showing Greek DNA by 30% up to 70% in some cases, is enough to show what has been going on the region the last thousands of years. Christians who were forced to become Muslims and were gradually Turkified, in order to turn against their own people and push them out of the region.
Greeks have been living in these lands for thousands of years, since Homer, and were all brutally exterminated or fell victims of ethnic cleansing, alongside the Armenians who suffered the worst Genocide.
And Turkey is not able to recognize anything, even though the Armenian Genocide has been accepted around the world.

Roum, or Rum, means Romans. The ancestors of all Greeks living today called themselves Romans for almost two millennia. There was never a people calling themselves "Byzantine". There was a Roman Empire in the East whose people called themselves Romans (Romaioi, Romioi) and their nation Romania (land of the Romans). Remnants of these people exist not only in Turkey but in all of the Middle East.

I spent almost 8 years working in Istanbul from the early 2000s. Although I would regard the Turks (then) as some of the friendliest people on earth, they did try to hide their nationalistic and xenophobic tendencies. Although they do have many skeletons in their closets (the Armenians and Greeks, notably), they are quick to criticise Israel and the USA. A Turk will criticise the UK for the once mighty British Empire and its attendant results, forgetting that the Ottoman Empire also colonised nations and forcibly converted many to Islam, among other things.
There's a difference between understanding that your country might have colonized most of the world, therefore not blaming anyone else for their genocides and discarding the idea that your country had likely genocided on other people, therefore blaming Turkey for its "supposed" genocide
Yes this is true. It's all good until you bring up a ''difficult'' subject. The difference is that in Greece they teach about the massacres against the Turks in Tripolitsa and other places and they tell you it's a horrible event. While in Turkey, children are taught that there were no genocides, and that the Turkish people never did any harm to anyone.

Turks like real Muslims, when the Greeks were strong and owned the economic activities of Constantinople, they did the pogroms. Now that a thousand Greeks live there, they play the card of respecting minorities...
I don't think Turks are "real Muslims". I would add that they never were..... They only play the Islam card.
The Arabs don't like them. They see them with suspicion and mistrust, and they have plenty of reasons.
Just look at Gaza right now. The oil that Israel uses comes from Azerbaijan, a turkic country, and travels through Turkey, another turkic country. Meanwhile Erdogan cries on camera.
At the same time, Turkey occupies Syria, a real Muslim country, and is messing around with Libya, another real Muslim country.

TRUE 👍
They are not Greek of course. These people are descendants of Anatolians who were Hellenized starting 500 BC but that doesn't make them Greek. As a matter of fact they are rather Trojan than Greek.

Babam Çerkes, annem Türk. Çocukluğumdan beri Yunan dili ve Yunan medeniyetine hayranım. Mübadele acılarınızı kendi acım gibi görüyorum. Çok güzel yürekli insanlarsınız. 5 ay önce Hristiyan olmaya karar verdim ve Rab İsa Mesih'e iman ettim. Rum Ortodoks kilisesine gidiyorum. İlahileriniz ruhumu okşuyor. Var ol Yunan milleti.
Don't believe you.

My previous comment was deleted. I am looking forwards to watching a new doc on how France massacred 5-10million Algerians and Moroccans during their independence fight in 1950s. I think it will be very interesting program to watch.
Indeed. France and Turkey have much in common.
If that were true there would be no Algerians & Moroccans left today. Stop inflating the figures & it is not only France who is sucking the blood out of Africa today.
I look forward to watch how you came as invaders in Christian lands and still remain there after genociding every native population.

Türkiye did not invide any Greek Island. Cyprus was never neither island of only Greeks nor Island of Greece. Türkiye rescued Turkish Cypriots than they declared their state .
Homeland of turks is Tajikistan Uzbekistan Turkmenistan lands, from that places came turks in Asia Minor,there was Byzantium lands. From ancient time Greeks lived in Asia Minor, from time of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, Hipparchus of Nikea, Eudoxos of Knidos from Apollonius of Perga, Apostolos Pavlos from Tarsus. Learn history, open wider mongolian eyes turks put roots very fast,they multiply very fast and after begun to think that Herodotus also was turk, soon they tell that ancient Hellenistic places also is turk or may be they will open soon in ancient agoras and in amphitheaters mosques. Only abnormal humanity can go to pray to allah in Christian palace.
Cyprus was a 90 per cent MAJORITY GREEK ISLAND WITH A 90 PER CENT MAJORITY GREEK POPULATION. Turks invaded this majority greek island for a 10 per cent muslim minority THAT WAS NOT EVEN TURKISH BY BLOOD BUT ISLAMIZED GREEKS LIKE THE LINOVAMVAKADES WHO SPOKE CYPRIOT GREEK AS MATERNAL LANGUAGE!!! it s crazy the level of unhistorical lunacy and lies that thrives in turkey
Turks' homeland is I Mongolia
They are invaders in today's so called turkey. The rest are fairy tales
A monumental tragedy for the region and (even most of them do not see it) for Turkey themselves. Turks allowed and in many cases gladly joined the organized pogroms of their government against Greeks. They can find some redemption by lifting all the restrictions imposed to the Greek minority even today and to provide incentives for the community to survive and grow again. But I am afraid that is exactly what they do not want to see happening
O sürevden atalarımızın emeklerini neden boşa çıkaralım ? Bizim yunan azınlığa gereksinimimiz yok. Gelmelerini ya da büyümelerini de istemeyiz.
Ottoman Turks allowed Greeks to be highly influential citizens, exempting them of military service in exchange for a tax and granted them freedom of religion, language, culture and trade and even a christian judicial system for their disputes. Only thing Greeks can really complain about is devshirme system, in which one boy in every 40 boys were taken to be raised as trusted government employees and statesment and the state gave the family a tax exemption.
However we cannot say the same for the Republic of Turkey, during which not only Greeks, but also most Turks and Kurds suffered a lot. One big difference, we had nowhere else to go.
And I must say that the translation is very very misleading and provoking. The Greek Turkish man says: topraklarımızı istimlak ettiler (they (the government) expropriated/bought our land by decree), the subtitle says: they (the government) confiscated our land.
And many Greeks left Greek islands in those times to go to USA, Brazil and Australia for better opportunities. Not only Greeks in Turkey. We should also consider economic circumstances.
what about the program against Greeks in the 60s?
Where do greeks come from ?.
Greece
Where do " Turks" come from ?
Modern day western mongolia
No Joe not many Turks have the central asian characteristics genetically. When the Turkmen occupied Anatolia they intermarried with all the indigenous Anatolian peoples. Turks are the amalgamation today of all those groups plus people who converted to Islam. Conversion was not always by force of violence.

The arrivals of turks in anatolia and levant, nearly 1000 years ago due to the "bankrupted" romania, was a humanitarian disaster for the greeks and the civilization. Now the region instead of beeing part of the greko-roman civilization is a country of the most despotic mindset, defined in the language and religion.
Great work. However there are some weird translation mistakes in this video. One of them is when he says six generations, it translates as 600 years. I think next time you should work with someone else.
Hey guys, the subtitles in English are full of flaws. Often times the mugani is explaining something completely different in Turkish. Are you aware of it?
