This is a big historical lie. Because Greek soldiers had invaded "Izmir" . Please read history books about Turkish Freedom War. Maybe, you'll be understand real things about the Kemalists and Turkish freedom Wars. Don't make lie propaganda.
You sound so certain about history... You weren't there, I wasn't there. All we do is reading history books. We should question who wrote them and what he is representing. By all means certainty is stupidity...
@progonolatreia so easy, according to the international law the land belonged to the ottoman empire and you broke the law with the help of the sevres treaty and tried to annex the land. that makes you invaders, very simple isn't it ?
@progonolatreia oh no I'm not an idiot but you are childish and unrealistic, I just read your comment again. "the land belonged to greeks becuase it was 3000 years of greek soil" blah blah blah. my friend if things should work in this way believe me there should not be any nation state in the world right now. stop this childish attitude and read some international politics.
Of course they did beat organized forces. Not Kemalist forces at the time, but Ottoman forces, and organized Ottoman Barracks. After all the Treaty of Sevres was done and agreed with the Ottoman Empire at the time.
Lets not forget tho, the beating of poor villagers of Pontus by the Ottoman forces and later by Kemal, which concluded the Genocide of the Ionian Greeks, plus the Genocide of the Armenians. A well organized plan by Germans and Ottoman Turks.
The TRUTH is, we got greedy. We beat the turkish forces out of the western 1/3 of MIKRA ASIA but then that wasnt enough. We wanted the WHOLE thing. The brits and the russkies saw this and then stopped supplying the Greek Armed forces with weaponry but the Greek state still continued and that is when the serious logistics problem took place especially at sakaria. Then the political rivalries took over and that was all she wrote. One bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush, we got greedy.
There were NO organized Turkish forces in 1919, the army was abolished following to the Armistice of Mudros (1918) thus the Greek army could occupy Western Turkey. Turkish army and local forces could gather under the rule of Mustafa Kemal Pasha and get organized in 1921 and 1922.
Initially the agreement was, that the Greek Army was to occupy western turkey but not the hinter land , which is still western Turkey. That changed when the Greek Army began expanding it's area of control, and you are WRONG , read about the battles of Afion-Karahisar and Eskisehir......Greek Army defeated the turkish armed forces in those battles. The Greek Army was led by King Constantine and the turkish army at those battles led by Ismet Pasha.
ethnicists or nationalists. But nationalism is sometimes very necessary. Venizelos was a naitonalist in the extreme, and if were not for his nationalism Greece would have never thrown out the rest of the ottoman turks out of the Aegean and other areas of Greece and maybe we may not have had Thessaloniki either , it owuld have gone to the bulgarians. Venizelos was the greatest HELLENE since Megas Alexandros for doing this alone. There is no denying it, he did it.
and then turksih ethinicists, did what anyone would do, defended their homeland, but because they were fascist scums, like all ethnicists, they also destroyed it
and the funny thing is, that my grandfather was forced to abandon Smyrni because of greek ethnicists wanting to fight turkish ethnicists
and then he would be discriminated as a turk, by ethnicists, again, this time in Greece
so this is my proposal: all you ethnicists, go play some where else, and leave serious people alone
nipsonanom, the fact that you were arbitrarily born in your country - in the same RANDOM way every human was born in their country doesnt mean you have the right to disgrace it with idiotic comments about trembling boots... and for your info, and if you had studied any history, you should probably know that it was clearly a greek error what happened in Smyrni
The National Defence was also the leading party at the start of march of our army from Smirna toward Asian Minor midland. So, please learn some history before you make comments about the similarity of greeks and turks. Because despite we had lost the 1922 war. Still we are here and when we return to this territories the earth will trembling under our boots.
Yes my friend you are free to full yourself Turkish Greek Armenian kurdish bulgarian arab are very similar Besides why to spoil this common turkish myth? But if you want to see the truth we have nothing common. We are completely different. And the proof is this song itself. It says about the National Defence. Its was a party that wanted to continue the fight agaist Turks and to occupie territories in Asia Minor.
Some of these comments make me vomit - how are we to forget 400 years of terror and genocide, both cultural and ethnic? Today the Mongol swine desecrate our churches in Northern Cyprus. This song expresses our love of freedom and hatred of Turkish oppression, just read the lyrics.
Turkish Greek Armenian kurdish bulgarian arab. We are very similiar people. What before happened please forget. Don`t hate but forget. With hate there`s no future.
Well I always held these beliefs (among others of course) Even if we are enemies with a people (and this goes for others , not only greeks and turks) we can never discriminate against: 1. Food 2. women 3. music They are all to be enjoyed without any prejudice whatsoever :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes, turko, it is wrong because it's not "your" music. Turks were the oppressors. The music belongs to Greeks. You are free to enjoy it and even, in your own way, identify with it, but to call it your "own," implying that you own some part of it, that to me is wrong.
My friend montevideo,sure music like this is played in Turkey,but it comes from far older times Vyzantine and far back..Many millions of these populations were forced to obey to ottomans after the turkish occupation.Most peoples of Turkey know that they are greeks,pontioi,kurds,alevis,armenians.Very few are original turks from Altai mountains.And I ask:have you ever looked for your roots?

το τραγούδι είναι λίγο ανιστόρητο. λέει της Αμύνης τα παιδιά διώξανε τον βασιλιά. όμως ο αρχηγός της Αμύνης ο Κονδύλης που έδιωξε τον βασιλιά ήταν ο ίδιος που το 1935 τον επανέφερε!!!
