@nonregemesse The average citizen in Constantinople around 1400 would have characterized themselves as:
Roman in political identity, citizenship and legitimacy,
Greek in language, culture, education, and ethnic heritage.
Also to answer you, I am illiterate so not many
@nonregemesse The truth is important. The Republic and later the Roman Empire built upon what the Athenian Empire established. Even Alexander the Great carried on and built upon what the Athenians started. Taking offence to the truth is denying it.
@erenx20_ Spoken like a true Turk. Literacy and education are important aspects of life. If you do not possess them, learn them. If you cannot learn them understand this—
Wise men speak because they have something to say, fools because they have to say something- Plato.
@ParvumPrincipi Alexander later conquered the other Greek states and brought Macedonia to the forefront of the Greek empire as Athens fell. He was not only Greek, but he was responsible for spreading Greek culture and customs all over the world.
@ParvumPrincipi As of late these people have been going to great lengths to discredit much of Greek history. Alexander the Great was Philip I grandchild who was of royal greek blood. His family ruled over the Macedonians paying taxes to Athens as a Greek state. All Greek states back then did.
@ParvumPrincipi The truth is little mehmed only managed to take Constantinople bc of the fragile state the Byzantine empire was left in from the 4th Crusade. The Turks are proud today and claim they “conquered” Constantinople. If the 4th crusade never happened, things would be very different.
@esrasaginc@ToniAlaranta Lira is in free fall. Your own citizens are backing up using USD/EUR not trl. How else will the inflation get paid? Interest is owed and unfortunately the already poor Turk will pay via taxation. Your grandchildren will still be paying!
@esrasaginc@ToniAlaranta You mean to say Erdogan was sending “refugees” via NGOs and blackmailed the EU into sending €Billions to stop the influx of illegals. I am saying the full story, you are just not listening. Where did the € go? 😂
He sold out his own ppl. They will pay back via taxes. It’s sad
@IMPERATORAUS Constantinople only fell because it was severely weakened by the 4th Crusade. It left the Empire in a vulnerable state. The Ottomans like to take credit for it, but without the crusades the outcome would have been very different.
@ozzie8811@Joanna1856826 Using your logic you have no identity that can be tied to the Ottomans. Your “Turkish” identity is invented— much like how you stole culture, cuisine, cities, and land.
Heed your own advice. Where we shit you don’t sprout!
@elyozdenoglu@ToniAlaranta Turkey is already doing that by sending ships of “refugees” via NGOs. But we are well aware they are funding them.
Also are you insinuating that Turkey can fight against the EU? Turkey would perish against France alone. They have no airforce they would need more pakistan pilots
@dincerxyildirim@TheHalfGerman Greeks didn’t put their names on it. It was Greek to begin with. You came and put your name on it. That’s my point. Yes it is part of Turkey today, that is fine.
But say it like it is— those cities were founded by Greeks and their people were Greek. That’s all,I don’t like lies
