  • Oh sorry,

    The fact that When the Greeks occupated Smyrna they killed everyone in sight doesnt matter, but historians and nationalists cry about how turks killed and kicked Greeks out?

    Pathetic.

    I love Greece and Greeks, I am Turk but you nationalists are assholes.

    My best friend is a Greek called Giorgos,

    Our parents are natives of Smyrna,

    The only difference is mine are turk and his are Greek.

    We all get on as if we were family,

    Its just nationalist assholes who ruin this.

  • @3choBlaster i didnt write that paragraph for the video, but for comments that claim izmir to be greeks'...

  • Greeks burnt whole western anatolia when they were fleeing and now they claim we burnt our own city lol

  • That said, I never could understand why Greeks believe we burned the city ..

    Our Army hadn't even arrived, we after your retreat and we knew you were fleeing why would we burn the beautiful city in such time of despair?

    It's far more likely that the Greeks continued their scorched earth tactics and burned the city (Greek corners) just because they did not want the Turks to have to. Just like you destroyed every village you retreaded trough and chopped all olive trees etc.

  • @Hollwander Stop being such idiots, the man who made the video is just showing his love for the city he does not claim it .. whats wrong with you people. What happened, happened. We are neighbors .. Ataturk was over it .. why can't you be.

    This goes for those Greek Internet heroes too .. are you becoming better men acting like little children on the Internet?

    from a Turk

  • greeks invaded İzmir killing our people and raping women in 1919 and ran away to greece in 1922 because our army destroyed the greek army and the young greek population of that time with it. İzmir will never be yours

    İZMİR-TÜRKİYE

  • TÜRK IRKI SAĞOLSUN !

    Egeden selamlar İZMİR - TÜRKİYE

  • So what? After that, he killed all the Greeks in the city. We have no reason to show the slighsest piece of respect for this dirty dog.
