      It is about truth. It proves that this blsit we say about "the ancient greeks that lived there for 2000 years" blah blah is not true. The truth is that they were islamized and the Greeks that were massacred by the turks were brought from the islands.

        In fact they were forced to migrate to Asia Minor because the Ottomans didnt have merchants and people who had to do with the sea. They were Greeks from the Aegean islands and they migrated by force on 15 and 16th century. Not many people (except the historians) know that , even in Greece.
        Come on now, there may be some truth to this, but most of the Christians from Asia did not speak Greek natively, you're clutching at straws here.

        Spyros Vrionis "The decline of medieval Hellenism in asia Minor and the process of Islamization from the eleventh through fifteenth century"
        Medieval "Hellenism"? You mean devil-worshipping during the middle ages? There was no such thing as "Hellenism", you are not referring to some deluded 3 or 4 Platoists are you?

        Please, you are free to prove me otherwise, because I find the reference to "Hellenism" in the Medieval period in the context of continuity for the modern Greek an open joke.
        In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.

            Spare us, don't toe that pathetic line here. The lion's share of your 2.5 million Greek citizens on occupied Macedonian land are largely imports from Asia Minor. These people are not Macedonians. They are Christians from Asia who now live within Greek territory on occupied Macedonian soil.

            They are mere geographic "Macedonians" in a very narrow sense - And that's where it ends. Their history is in Asia, today's Turkey. There is no denying this. 85 years ago these people never even sniffed European dirt, get your head out of your ass mate.
            As the Bishop of Florina (Lerin) Augostinos Kandiotis once said:

            "If the hundreds of thousands of refugees had not come to Greece, Greek Macedonia would not exist today."
