    I actually respect Greeks and Serbs who constantly attack Turkey online way more than Westoids who sometimes say bad things about Turkey. Idk why but it actually doesnt bother me when people from the Balkans talk shit about Turkey

    Do you know anything about Ordu? Just 1 thing? Because you commented "not the same ordu" without knowing anything about the place. That's what makes you niggas weird

    Mainly problems with getting my visa and the fact that most people left or were forced to leave. All of my relatives fled, so it’s not really worth going back even if I could get my visa. There was also some issues with the Syrian war and travel even though it’s not actually that close to the border.

    Why were they forced to leave in the near past? As far as I know no major tension happened between turks and greeks since the cyprus thing

    We left as it was a consistent erasure of the culture and a shift of the population dynamics, mainly oppression from the government. Most of the people who fled left in the 20-30s and 50s from that region.

    There is no Istanbul. Istanbul is the bastardisation of the greek phrase «εις την πόλη». Perhaps you meant to say that or Constantinople?

    I always laugh when Europeans/USAcans tell us to suck it up when they want something from Erdoganopoulos and then call him the evil Sultan when he's doing Erdoganopoulos things and how they should support us to piss him off. 

    And when they're not they're all like "Oh those Greeks and Turks!"

    Yes, because that's the rational way to look at it. You're just babies fighting over useless things. Leave it to the actual adults like America, U.K, France, and Slovenia to talk about real shit.

    I would rather see the flag of Gayreeks flying over Istanbul rather than seeing it filled with middle eastern monkeys that fabricates prophets every 5 f*cking minutes (every one of them including the coin clippers)

    Reminds of the phrase that a Byzantine official close to the Emperor supposedly said right before 1453: "Better to wear the Turkish turban than the catholic mitre".

    It simply shows the deep hatred of the people back then against the Latins, because of the 4th crusade, so they'd rather leave the City to Turkish hands

    parent root

    I believe it was said by high clergy about 10 years before 1453. The pure disdain they had for the Catholics (w*stoids) was remarkable, very ahead of its time.

    Yeah the phrase was attributed to Loukas Notaras, one of the highest ranking officials after the Emperor, but the clergy had the same mind too
