@goy_im_oh@lionfiresoul@KERCENIM@Arberikon Who told you Albanians didn't have a founding population before the DNA publication? It's the Greeks that don't have one because Greekness is an artificially created modern ethnicity based on religion.
@goy_im_oh@KERCENIM@Arberikon Because genetics and history go hand in hand. Greece wasn't even an ethnicity in middle ages, "Greek" meant orthodox Christian from the West of the Balkans.
@goy_im_oh@Arberikon 1. Arvanite is the Greek word for Albanians in middle ages.
2. Gheg and Tosk are the same genetically.
3. Ypsilantis is congratulating the MUSLIM Arvanites
Sit down, and drink some water
@LeonidasDav@IllyrianJ2bL283@merkourios_ I am still waiting and are curious about your counter arguments, but all I see is low level coping, what Christians are you when you refuse the truth?
@grok@HeronasDemetriu@grok What do you think about the Hellenization of the Albanians in Epirus? Why doesn't modern Greece recognize ethnic minorities?
@grok Why did Albanians fight for Greek independence? Was it an ethnic revolution or one more related to religion? According to Yanni Kotsonis's book "The Greek Revolution and the Violend Birth of Nationalism" greekness was related to religion and geography, an Albanian could easily be a Greek this way.
@grok@HeronasDemetriu@grok Why are the Albanian heroes more celebrated than the pontic ones in Greece? And remember, I'm purely talking about fighters, not intellectuals here.
