Lol, Most Turkish people ethnically descend from the Greeks, only 10% of Turkey is “ethnically Turkish” but most of us Turkish people are not aware of that fact at all because of the extreme nationalism here. I’m Turkish but my ancestors were probably from Caucasia.
Weird I never heard that before. Surely most people are mixed then, right? It makes sense, because of how hard it would be to travel during the 10th-18th centuries, that there would be more of a cultural shift and political/resource control, with moderate migration to the new territory, rather than like a full genocide until the 20th century when the Christian Greek-speaking ethnic Greeks were mostly expelled and murdered
Yeah, it’s mixed of course, it would be more accurate to say that most Turkish people are mostly Greek.
And you’re right, the reason is because those Greeks were culturally assimilated over time.
Least nationalist person in turkey
These are the type of people the US is supporting in Xinjiang. Not some anti-colonial movement within the region, but just psycho genocidal nationalists.
I am Turkish and wouldn’t put it like that, but yeah nationalism on an extreme level is shockingly common in Turkey
No, I know there are plenty of people who are Turkish who aren’t like that (the vast majority). I was just saying that the specific separatists that the US gives millions to are exactly this. There are photos of the UWC guys wearing maga hats and shooting guns with cops lol.
Unexplainable, if you enter even the ‘academic’ area of Balkan nationalism, you will never be able to leave.
Least insane Turkish Nationalist
