I admit it was funny what this guy wrote. But no the Greeks would win with a good strategy.Originally Posted by AlpErTunga
Look, have you noticed that there are way more greek people on this site than Turks. This proves that
1. The Turks are scared little people that don't know what they are talking about.
2. The Turks are poor and don't have much internet talk on.
3. The Greeks are smarter and better fighters and would stomp on Turkey and they know it.
Go to http://greekmilitary.net
1. Turks are scared of you.
2. Turks are poorer than Greeks, but they have more internet acess than Greeks. (not only by number, but also by percentage)
3. We know that you are trolling.
This proves you should s.up and calm down.
Why don't you shut up. You country is an embarrasment to mankind. The Turks can even supply their planes with weapons. They have to fly into other aircraft to start a conflict.
Gentlemen, please show some restraint. There is no need to be rude to one another. Both Greece and Turkey are members of NATO. Soon both countries will be in the EU. I am sure there are more points that could unite you than there are which make you see the other as an enemy.
I could be a good guy and not make this man feel bad about himself. But I won't. I just don't like the idea that they might be waiting for Greece to become good friends of theirs (which probly won't happen) and then have Turkey stab them in the back.
man, dont you think thats a little overboard?. just a little?
replace the turks with chinese labor? wtf?
Yeah I think it was a little overboard but I was only using my imagination.
I doubt you have that mental capability.
Hell it was not. Plus, what minoans has to do with anatolia. They were from island crete.
And todays turks are as much Hitites as they are greeks since greeks themselves were mixed with Hittites and countless other local kingdoms that flourished in the anatolia.There were kingdoms and civilizations predating Greeks in Anatolia.
Hey how many people here are actually from Greece or Turkey. Just right it down at the bottom of the page. Like so
CA, USA
So what?
1- Greeks tried to invade Anatolia by scaring poor Turkish peasants, with supports of Britain in 1921
2- Greece was very rich and they had trucks while Turks had only ox-cart as logistic support.
____
But you call 1921 as Asia Minor Defeat But we call it a glorious victory of Independence War. Even Turkish peasants and unarmed Turkish "army" defeated your "historically great" armies in Anatolia...
____
3- I wrote similar expressions with yours before, but in 3rd one I cannot do it. Because Turks have been,are,were, will be always, ever smarter and better fighters than you.

im am american who has greek heritage,baptised to the orthodox church.
ive never met a turk in person, ever. ive heard alot about them by greek employers.
its almost comical when they say the turks ARE worse than what the nazis were and that every one of them is pure evil.
what i believe, as an american, is that greeks can view parts of turkey similiar as the native americans view our country.
BUT, what happenned....happenned, its in the past.......the turkish invasions in those lands is purely historical context.
even the genocides are historical context, the people who carried it out are dead. however, i think the country would do well to acknowledge wrongdoing, allow people to search for remains and have access to whatever existing public records available to investigate mass burials and stuff.
all this would be purely symbolic, closure. no handouts, no giving land back, no payment, nothing.
so thats the reason i came into this thread. i take an american side, not a greek one.
and i do so coz i come from a country with more blood on thier hands as far as the past is concerned. nothing really compares to the enslavement of blacks and the forced slaughter and exodus of our natives. america acknowledges these things as a way to improve relations, as a way to heal and overcome its legacy.
Check the dates Most people think the burning of Troy VII (locate din NW Turkey)occured around 1190 BCEHell it was not. Plus, what minoans has to do with anatolia. They were from island crete.
And todays turks are as much Hitites as they are greeks since greeks themselves were mixed with Hittites and countless other local kingdoms that flourished in the anatolia.There were kingdoms and civilizations predating Greeks in Anatolia.
The Hittites were an ancient people who spoke an Indo-European language, and established a kingdom centered at Hattusa (Hittite URUḪattuša) in north-central Anatolia from the 18th century BC. In the 14th century BC, the Hittite empire was at its height, encompassing central Anatolia, north-western Syria as far as Ugarit, and upper Mesopotamia. After 1180 BC, the empire disintegrated into several independent "Neo-Hittite" city-states, some of which survived until as late as the 8th century BC.
