what a shit peace of propoganda Smyrna was a Turkish city.

What does it matter if Turks burn greek neighbourhoods.

Greek army invades Turkey killing and murdering on his path.

Finally Turks defeat them

then greeks totally burn the cities of Alasehir and Manisa out of revenge.

And after this Turks liberate Smyrna back again.

Classical greek propoganda: greeks are themselves guilty but they pretend to be victims.

@Nickname997 Smyrna is the birthplace of Homer. It is a greek city since 2.000 B.C. when turks were still monkeys and lived on the trees. Turks invaded the Greek Empire of Byzantium (1071 B.C.) and like Hitler exterminated all local people and stole their cities and lands. Some day we will return and take our land back. Russians defeated Hitler and again all orthodox christians will defeat turkish invaders.

minor asia hosted many civilization and Helenic civilzations was one of them...Nothing is exterminated and still kept as a international treasure under the protection of UNESCO as World Heritage site. You know well...So, please do not lie... Turks and Greeks are seperate nations, neighbours, enemies and yet friends...

@nazgulwarlord Heres a fact for you, Turks are actually descendants of greeks. So the first turk was greek.

[Mattichimaru]

@fstav1 Your information is wrong as "Turkish people" are mostly Greek. I know this as 90% of my family is of greek descents, actually, almost all turks are actually greek, we call ourselves turkish as we made ourselves independant. The Turks who genocides were those in the ottoman empire, that includes GREEKS too. They say ottoman soldiers killed armenians and greeks, but if you research you will find that the ottoman empire made greeks their soldiers... So ottoman soldiers were greek.

@Nickname997

History proves that Smyrna and most of Turkey belonged to the Greeks and Byzantines, you ppl are the invaders, and being true muslims you always blame the victims for your own crimes, when you yourselves are the perpetrators

@trakyann All the ancient labels of Asia Minor are in the greek language. The name Thracian is also a greek name. Spartakos is a greek name also. "The man from Sparta". Do yoy know Spartans my Greek friend?

@trakyann Change the map of your site, Asia Minor was a Greek region. All the findings and the byzantine churches prove what I say. It was conquered by barbarians who made a genocide. Also Thrace is a greek region my thracian greek friend.

Henry Morgenthau, the United States ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1913 to 1916 accused turks of a campaign of terrorizing, cruel torturing, driving of women into harems, debauchery of innocent girls, the sale of many of them at 80 cents each, the murdering of hundreds of thousands and the deportation to and starvation in the desert of other hundreds of thousands, the destruction of hundreds of villages and many cities" to annihilate the Armenian, Greek and Syrian Christians of Turkey.

GREEKS LIVED IN ANATOLIA FOR THOUSAND OF YEARS BEFORE EVEN THE FIRST TURK WAS BORN. JUST CHECK HISTORY BOOKS...OR MAKE A TRIP AROUND TURKEY AND YOU WILL SEE GREEK MONUMENTS.
