@EmreKur57723731@nikos_cyp@turkic_facts And in regards to the second point. You have no rights beyond the 3 miles of Lausanne. Turkish claims about the Blue Homeland (Chinese Blue Land doctrine rip-off) are an explicit and direct violation of Lausanne.
@EmreKur57723731@nikos_cyp@turkic_facts 2) The Greeks had ample opportunities and excuses to pay back the Turkish Cypriots when the Turks attacked first in 1958 and 1963. Not only did the Turks lose both times, but the Greeks allowed them to stay. Even in 1974 there were no Turkish Cypriots killed before the invasion.
@EmreKur57723731@nikos_cyp@turkic_facts You're full of shit and you know it. 1)The Constantinople pogroms happened in 1955 after Menderes deliberately had MIT bomb the Turkish consulate exactly because he had no excuse
@EmreKur57723731@nikos_cyp@turkic_facts Turkey doesn't comply. Lausanne explicitly called for the protection of the Greeks of Imvros, Tenedos and Constantinople, and also that Turkey withdraws all claims beyond its borders. Furthermore, clauses of the Lausanne Treaty have been replaced by the Montreux convention
@ConsulofRome_ The destruction and looting after 1204 was immense but the Palaiologoi had genuine opportunities to turn things around and flunked consistently for 250 years
No this is not the reason why so few westerns know the history.
The reason is that is has been inconvenient historically for the Roman Empire to have survived in the east and was denigrated and dismissed once Western Europeans decided they wanted their own Roman Empire in the Middle Ages.
Historians have not traditionally seen it as part of the history of Europe and so it has been ignored and misunderstood.
@ContortedTrash@Hattydovah 4) Thessaloniki had already been burned by the Normans as 'vengeance'
5) How retarded do you have to be to think that the Venetians (who had been expelled from Constantinople years before the killing) would do all this because Andronikos killed their enemies, Pizans and Genoans?
@QuindariusGooc4@EtreaA67334@Hattydovah The massacre of the Latins is modern cope. The Latins killed were Genoans and Pizans since the Venetians had already been expelled years prior, and no contemporary source even mentions the massacre of the Latins as why the Crusade happened
