Minor Asia Greek Disaster

[AntiKyrgyz]

nobody cares about history anymore, bla bla bla ...keep repeating same propoganda over and over again.

[AntiKyrgyz]

This video is completely unrealistic, it fails to show , how thousands of byzantines voluntarily converted to islam, with the proposal of Prophet muhamed, the byzantian king had accepted willfully. It also fails to shows, the number of muslims that were slaughtered in the hands of the christian mobs and soldiers.

[AntiKyrgyz]

@TheDutchHippie u r an ignorant fuck, we have been in Anatolia longer than 1000 years, we have the same right to be in that territory then anyone else, silly cunt. The Pakis are going to take over ur land soon, Dutch bastard.lol

[AntiKyrgyz]

@TheDutchHippie bla bla bla, go on and cry, silly lard.

[grkpower]

no one on this planet is more superior than another ,no one but muder is muder

[punakesha]

listen to all these comments makes me sick we are all people visiting this earth and will all die soon enough fighting for nothing

[turkishblackeagle93]

you set the fire in izmir , you son of a bitch...

[ararat123457]

'turk' is not a not a name of a nation it's Curse work like 'shit, fuck or any other

[DeliBasAli]

My personal idea go and f*ck yourself after doing this video,first check about the population exchance even when this war continue whats about the Turks&Muslims destiny at Balkans and Islands?What happen to them,you can check historical sources your soldiers had carrin goods from the houses ''Carpets,silvers,golds'' when they runnin away.You speakin about old times?Lets leave all countries to pagans so you can stfu i think.

[altay111]

you push the Turks to the edge, subjugate them to second class citizens in their own country, then attempt to eradicate them, and are surprised when the fight back, and and claim their own nationalism. never forget, Turkish nationalism followed Greek nationalism, it was response, you can't start a war and then bitch about how you lost it. get real.

[GrecoRomanMC]

0% of what you just said was true. You are either completely ignorant of the facts or you've been brainwashed by Turk propaganda! Or maybe both in your case...

[agartaaltindevlet]

what a propaganda, you will only make some stupid greek belive this bullshit, thats all. real history is different, what you did was wrong now you try to put blame on us , but no one is buying this crap

[gideross]

it was the Romans, the Constantinople had already been destroyed is not the Ottomans, please study history more accurately.

why we can not forget the history and live in peace dear Greeks? I love Greece and Greeks I have no problems with you, please do not hate against confusion.

peace, peace, peace!

[blixten222]

if turkey wants they get! dont make turkish people fuckt up again! by this lie stories!who the fuck are you you are the SHAME OF HUNAMITY! LIER ARMANIA AND GREECE

[somethingboring]

"hunamity" "dont make turkish people fuckt up again!"

Don't worry, the Armenians and Greeks won't 'fuckt' you up again, as long as Turkey can behave responsibly and admit it's crimes for once, small chance of that happening.

[KOKATONGA]

proud to be turk!

good greek is a slave greek!

[jn829]

Too bad we took down your empire full of tyrani. Your slaves became your conquerors. Get over it.

[Sharped1Arrow]

You mean mongol..

[asteris78]

take smirni from the mogolturks murders . they are not civils for this ground

[angalagon]

like I said... we ll answer with our boot pressing their heads in the burnt mud of... Anatolia...

[corriolis1]

bence güzel bir video.. kısaca anlatmış herşeyi..

geldik , yendik , kovduk , geri aldık..

bir daha geri dönemeyeceklerini anladıkları için de yakarak gittiler...

Neden Türkiye'de bir tane rum bırakmamışlar o dönemde.. Çünkü bunlar yunan askeri görünce şaşırmışlar...

[turaniturk]

we'll enter Athens, Selanik, .. like we entered Izmir.

May God give victory to the Great Turk!

May God protect Turks.

[angalagon]

Hey ELLINES. Do not start conversations with these wastes of human tissue, the so called turks. Are you totally nuts? You are trying to make DIALOGO? with turks? The day that they 'll bleed is close... Then we 'll talk to them... The ELLINIKON way...

[GrEEkWARLoRD]

CyberIrony

what are you talking are you sick men ?

explain me why only the armenian and greek christian part of smyrna burned down and not other parts?

[alpkhan77]

because there is a gulf between the muslim side and the burned christian side of İzmir fire cannot reach to the other nside idiot

[atlas1821]

we will never forget!!

[CyberIrony]

Greek population of anatolia escaped because they were legally Ottoman citizens.Greek army burned everywhere on it's way while turning back. At last Izmir couldn't be saved this end.

They burned Izmir the Pearl because they knew that there was no way to come back.

[sarissaki]

I spoke to a survivor. And you have your story completely upside down. I know and I will not forget....

[CyberIrony]

Why this video doesn't tell before the disaster, from May 15th 1919 to September 9th 1922?

Greek troops landed on Izmır in 1919 and started the operation. They threw Turkish children an women to the rivers and hunted them like ducks. Raped and killed thousands of innocent people. Until 1922 Greek troops supported local forces did all of these actions.

[AthensAnna]

yeah sure. you have been brainwashed well.

The retaliating Greek troups of COURSE took revenge on the turkish butchers. Yeah they raped and destroyed some.

But what damage Greeks did was a DROP of water compared to the oceans of death the Turks committed.

[azmanoglu]

Greeks suck turkish dick.

[armandogr08]

watch?v=s5EJH_7gGuQ

speaking of genocides...

[clochedumont]

well, it is quite hard to understand. How can a small militia (that you call The Turkish Army) can slaughter a huge organized army (Basically The Greek Army). War and genocide are totally different things from each other. If a nation (in this case The Greek Nation) penetrates into another a war is certainly expected. If a war is lost, it is lost it is not a genocide. There aren't as many Greeks in Anatolia because they immigrated by their will just as the Turks living in Greece.

[Ebonyhorse23]

The Greek army left and then the wonderful...events took place in Smyrna/Izmir. As for the pressure on the non-Muslim population it had started with the Young Turks 'revolution'. Of course the Greek army had no right to invade regions where the Muslim population was majority. But in Izmir/Smyrna the city was taken with war by the Greek army, they were given permission to guard the city that was neutral/international zone at that time.

[Ebonyhorse23]

The Greek had left and then....the wonderful events took place. The Christian population in Eastern Thrace left by its will, that is true. In Smyrna/Ismir they were...thrown in the sea. The Muslims immigrated to Turkey after the Christians of Turkey came to Greece.

[tugrul75]

Also, are you trying to say that Greeks (i mean the people living in the country that is called "Greece" today) are genetically superior to other races because they had done all these stuff in the past ?

A few years ago, Greece was the poorest nation in EU, highest inflation rate with the worst average education level and GNP.

Definitely the ancient tales will not get you any further, nor the rascism.

[Panosthessgr]

All races of the earth are equal. No one is superior or better than someone else. Facts are facts and historical moments are historical moments.

I don't like the organization of my country or the constitutional state and laws. Few people in this country really try hard. And unfortunately these are not our corrupted politicians and governments..

[Panosthessgr]

All people on earth are equal and have no differences. No one is superior or better than someone else.

Few people in this country still try hard. Unfortunately our corrupted politicians are not included..

[tugrul75]

Truly ane's disaster is another one's glory. No one can deny the greatness of the ancient Greek civilization, but the history is full rise and falls. Anatolia was home to many different ancient civilizations, even before the greeks, and we Turks had our day also. We ruled those lands for the last 1000 years and why would it be called "Disaster" ? Some historians call it "Pax Ottomana" and some even consider the Ottoman Empire as the 3rd Roman Empire.

[Steald13]

International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS), have recognised the genocide of Christian Populations (Armenian , Assyrian, Pontian and Anatolian Greek) of the Ottoman Empire. Dear turks admit your errors of the past so they wont follow you in the future. visit ->genocidescholars(dot)org/iag­snews

[elnika35]

viva hellas come the army smyrne

[BrotherPIT]

Babakurt1071 i assume that you are turk,and just admitted the Genocide of the greeks on your comment.

"You little minded people, instead of that you should be thankful that we did let you live..."

So tell your goverment now as a good citizen you are and care about all this to open admitt it to,or you dont have the balls?

[Dandoldenyus]

You will reach nowhere with so much hatred,you might have owned the places,but now you don't,learn to live with it.And there's no constantinople,now there's İstanbul,that dream of yours are dead since 1453,it's sad that you couldn't understand it in last 550 years.

[Panosthessgr]

what about the pure Greek land of Thrace? Even yesterday ur Foreign Minister said to the Muslim populations "YOU ARE TURKISH".. In a 2007 present day... Imagine.. It s really easy to judge only one side.. Cause we have made lot of mistakes with Turkish people. We made bad to you too. Not only YOU to us. But for Christ, admit even sth..

[Babakurt1071]

Arent they Turks? Did he lie when he said that? The majority of the muslim population in Greece are Turkish. Why cant you recognize their cultural heritage. But at the same time you r demanding more rights for the orthodox church in Istanbul and their recognition as a ecumenism.

[fidokalman]

Baba, Mosques can be built in any western country; not one church can even be repaired in Turkey. Please stop being disingenuous and hypocritic. Shame!

[antique50000]

Orthodox church was completely overhauled in 2007 for the Armenians See Churches in Turkey "You tube' The Christians plastered the interior Mosaics in 1453 and the Turks are trying to undue the damage by removing the plaster off the walls. 600 years. If turks were barbarian they would have destroyed this simbol instead Sultan Fatih this is mine and it was not destroyed. He was brilliant and tolarant to save such important architecture.

[fidokalman]

You are absolutely right; Fatih was brilliant. It was the Turks after him who were not good. You know the truth. Christians cannot worship in safety in any Muslim country. Turkey is now trying to get the Patriarchate out of Istanbul. Tell the truth my friend.

[ApollwNotos]

1)Everywhere you dig, you will find greek monuments...!!!

2)The first language in the world was the greek one

3)90% of the english words have greek origin

4)We greeks made the world for you to leave in...!!!

5)They found greek ships in amazonio ocean before colombus

[ApollwNotos]

It should you learn few ΗΙSTORΥ

Hellas-cyprus-CONSTANTINOYPOLI­S-small Asia-macedonia-northern continent = all HELLAS

2008 = CONSTANTINOYPOLIS is GREEK

[Babakurt1071]

My beloved Halfmongolian Brothers. Why r you so full of hatred? You little minded people, instead of that you should be thankful that we did let you live, whereas the pope and his army of catholics would made you change your religion or killed you.

[antique50000]

Constantine asked for help from Rome (Pope)

Next 65,000 show up in Istanbul and there is

chaos in city try to feed so many. Hatred,

Yes. If you dont believe go to 'YOU TUBE'

'Holy Crusades' 1-33 parts see for yourself.

They kill everyone and too graphic to describe the rest see for yourself.

[ApollwNotos]

The Turks will leave but they will come back again and reach up to examilia. at the end they will de....

sent away to kokini mhlia.

1/3 of them will de killed

1/3 will be baptized and the rest will go to kokini milia

[Babakurt1071]

That old famous prophecy of yours, and the 2nd part is that your population will grow to over 100 Million people. So you guys have a long way to go why wasting time than with writings?

[Babakurt1071]

You religious fanatics should really quit believing those kind of nonsense. Remember an other prophecy when Istanbul falled in the hand of the Turks? Your people gathered in a church awaiting the arrival of Mother of Jesus to stop the Turks? And did she come? Did she prevent the turks from taking Istanbul and flushing the byzantian empire into the closet of history?:)

[kanibal0311]

Citizens of the Byzantine Empire are Romans who spoke Greek language. These great people have had a culture which fused Hellenistic & Roman culture with Christian Orthodoxy. Every great city of Anatolia, was a Greek city (i.e. Ancyra --Ankara Antiochia -Antaqia Trapezus -Trabzon etc. These great cities were fallen to the hands of nomadic Turks and have fallen from grace to the dark ages of present days. The turks have no culture of there own & had destroyed every culture that they have occupied.

[Panosthessgr]

I think you can't be more specific and more right..

[Babakurt1071]

its our divine duty to destroy nonculturs like yours and replace it with real ones. You messed up Anatolia the time you lived there so much that we are still busy to clean it up. Athene is for now in hand of the Greeks. And what? Is it the centre of the world?

Funny muppets

[kanibal0311]

What kind of culture did you built? harim sections and Eskender kebab? you made me laugh! until the arrival of Ataturk you did not contribute anything to modernity. You've never learn from your past mistakes so you are doomed to repeat it again!

[antique50000]

Occording to Lord Kinross British writer Turks tolerance and lower taxation with religious and cultural freedom instead of harsh taxation and stiff penalties forced masses was the breaking point. All this vs. Ottaman tolerance afterall Vezir, ruler many times were christian not muslim to show tolerance. Please read "Ottoman Centuries" is written by a foreign author not turkish.

[kanibal0311]

According to Islamic Sharia law: Tax per capita (jezyah), is forced upon Christians and Jews (people of the book according to Quran _ chapter of Repentance, 9:verse: 29) in addition to a tax upon lands of Christians and Jews! You can add to the abduction of "Rum" children and forcing them to join the Janissaries. Indeed age of tolerance, LOL. Byzantium had a lot of rivals, but only your ancestors had brutally eradicated the Byzantine cities and Byzantine culture, including the killing of monks

So Greeks soon you will accept the inevitable and kneeln down before the mighty Turks as did your ancestors.

[lycanist]

its too late for that now, the greece is f**cked up, even with out charge, nobody wants it.

[zberlin32]

The day will come turk when Greece will be strong and take what is hers. My people will make sure of that.

[Babakurt1071]

funny boy. ya must be on medication.

not even with help of UK ya succeeded, how will you do it on your own? Your people should make sure to pray everyday that turkey doesnt take back what belonged to them. But its just a matter of time, wait and see the inevitable

[zberlin32]

lol.. Of course you barbarians resorted to genocide to create some level of cohesion. A fact that every turk has been taught to refute. Most historians agree and many countries ratified this. What will you do with the Kurds? kill them as well? Greece was a poor country in 1908. trust me when I say the Greek spirit is alive and one day we will come for you and have your heads. :) Have a good day turk.

[Babakurt1071]

Get well soon, son.

[Babakurt1071]

I see your state is much more worse than i expected.

But still. Get well soon, my son.

[zberlin32]

and you're an authority in?

And Turkey couldn't even afford a war with a backwards village ruled by Kurds. You think you can hande us greeks? lol
