@KrejicMaso55780@SoranHamarash Oh, I see your point - that must be why the “legally” occupied part of Cyprus is recognized as a sovereign state by the whole world.
@KrejicMaso55780@SoranHamarash Spare me the nonsense, Mehmet. It was Kissinger who handed that territory to the Turks back then - completely different circumstances.
@MYSHOPE34@HellenicEchoes this combination of internal fragmentation and hostile great-power diplomacy ultimately enabled the modern Turkish state to survive in its current form. Historically, when the Greeks were united, their enemies stood no chance.
@MYSHOPE34@HellenicEchoes Greek unity has always been a decisive strategic asset. But in that era, Greece was internally divided while Italy, France, the UK, and the Soviets aligned against it. Even though Greek forces advanced to the very outskirts of Ankara,
@mignatiou@HellasJournal Regarding the Turks, the way I see it, it’s almost certain that this is a “good cop–bad cop” dynamic between the USA and Israel on this issue. It would be completely nonsensical to allow Turkey to be involved there.
@mrubin1971 At some point, I believe this will be the only option left for the West. For years, Greeks have been sounding the alarm about Turkey, and I often dismissed it as mere complaining. It wasn’t just me—America, too, used to be naïve about Turkey.
@mrubin1971 Its very foundation is built on crimes and the manipulation of non-Muslim ethnic groups in Asia Minor, leading to their extinction and forced Turkification. The Turks are well aware of this history, and they carry a deep fear of nemesis coming.
@Basileus_Phokas Greeks had been in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) for centuries before Alexander the Great’s campaign in the 4th century BCE. Greek presence in the region dates back to at least the late Bronze Age and expanded significantly during the early Iron Age.
I am sorry Turks and others..
@KalenteridisSav I struggle to understand Europe’s strategy, especially when it involves financial support to Turkey. That said, this moment feels like a rare chance to rethink and realign the power dynamics in the Middle East.
@ProfDrMrSunger@xruiztru Intelligent Americans? Oh, you mean the ones who invented the internet you’re using right now? By the way SpongeBob, if you’re so smart, how come you still can’t pass your boating test?
@ProfDrMrSunger@xruiztru Aware of the Greeks’ superiority in the air, this image likely depicts a camouflaged enemy aircraft. Jokes aside, the Greeks have managed to slowly yet steadily reclaim their historical lands and incorporate them into their state.
