I know where the word Ilyria originated but I want to hear your story...

I would guess the genetical impact of greeks in western anatolia would be similar in degree to that of southern Italy, maybe someone like dorianfinder can shed some light on this?

The question of "slavic" admixture in greece is a good one, but I think the other question should be how much greek DNA influence is in anatolia (turkey) and not the other way around. Greeks had a significant genetical impact in western anatolia then the Ottoman elite had in Greece.

Turkish continues to threaten the Republic of Cyprus not to proceed with the Natural Gas plans Turkey announced that will be sending military frigates in order to prevent the planned drilling on 1st October for oil and natural gas within the Exclusive Economic Zone of Cyprus. Defence...

For the sake of conversation, can you explain why.

With problems escalating there between the albanians and serbs, wouldn't the best solution be that nothern kosovo join with serbia? Why hasn't this simple solution been raised yet?

I can see the EU dropping out of NATO and starting their own military alliance at some point int he future.

I feel for most of them, I'm looking at greeks.

I've noticed that your definition of reason is one that goes along with your train of thinking, even if there is imperical evidence that proves other wise. The example of the assassination attempt of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the lack of reporting on it from large news medias like the...

I agree with everything you just said but with this highlighted point you just pretty much agreed with me about BBC being britished biased towards things of british geo-political interests, which turkey is one. So no its not some government consipiracy that BBC is pro-turkish as britian wants to...

I hate to burst your bubble but the BBC gets broadcasts in more countries than just england. So the ignorance of the english is not a reason for their selective programs.

I have to say its the perception of the media that probably gives the wrong idea. The BBC being british has a strong pro-turkish biased that I can see from time to time. As an example, I forgot the exact date, but I read of another assassination attempt on the Patriach of Constantinople that...

That's yoru definition, this is mine, and is the same are the recognised definition; "Genocide is defined as "the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group",[1] though what constitutes enough of a "part" to qualify as genocide...

I don't know wheather I should have negative feelings towards peopel like Dejavu or sympathy. They have been at the crossroads of bulgaria, serb, and greek nationalism. First they were leaning towards being Bulgarian, then they came under the conrol of serbia, and serbia tried to serbify them...

Ok Maciamo, here is an example of what the greeks are negotiating with. This picture represents what ankara would like to see as a solution to this agean dispute; They want the sea and air boundaries to be as follows, totaly ignoring the fact that greek islands lay just off the coast of...

So genocide is fine during war time to you? I guess the holocaust against the jews is fine aswell, as it happened during war. I guess the hague should stop the trial of the bosnian serb who is accused of genocide against muslims slavs because serbia was at war at the time. You're stretching your...

I bolded your big lie. The term macedonian slav was instilled on the slavic population by outside observers to the situation who did not want to offend serbian and bulgarian nationalism and goals in the region by labeling them strickly serb of bulgar, so they used the term macedonian slav. In...

The greek genocide was done prior to 1927; and here is the wiki pages detailing it; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_genocide "According to various sources the Greek death toll in the Pontus region of Anatolia ranges from 300,000 to 360,000. Estimates for the death toll of Anatolian Greeks...

"The 1911 edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica gave the following statistical estimates about the population of Macedonia: Bulgarians (described in encyclopaedia as "Slavs, the bulk of which is regarded by almost all independent sources as Bulgarians", a statement referring to the...

The death toll of the greek genocide was between 250,000 to 350,000 people, not 15. The bombing of Attaturks house was done by a turk with the goal to incite violence against the greeks in con/polios and drive them out. It was all planned; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul_Pogrom At the...
