  • Dont you feel ashamed that the only beautiful city that you have and you always show is built by Greeks? Why dont you show any other cities? Maybe cause they look like crap.

  • Don't worry...We show them.too. For example Blue Mosque, Selimiye , dolmabahce , topkapi.etc. you can see ottoman's work of art in your country... look around

  • helmac89, if Ottomans were such a crual empire, why you are today speaking greek language and why there is not any muslim greek?If you check what French has done in the Africa,then you can better understand the value of Ottomans.All the states who were under Ottoman control has never changed in their national identity and all was the same before joining and after leaving the Ottoman Empire.

  • SULTAN MUHAMMED II THE CONQUEROR
