Fairness my a$$....You were plundered and rapists...that's why everyone in the Balkans hate you
How can you compare yourself with the Greek testimony? They brought so much to this world while Turks brought nothing but savagery..
What facts? The Greeks reetok their city and reconstructed the landscape...good for them
I can't really understand why Turks seem to thing that their opression wasn't nothing but robbery...They brought no innovation, no tech...just rape ,theft and murder.....The Europeans atleast brought...
Yes, the city has a rich history, a rich Greek history...in the end it was liberated from Ottoman yoke and we must celebrate when natives regain their lands
I'm not defending them, they even ransacked Constantinople but they were given pretext by that madman who forbade Christians in Jerusalem and destroyed their Church.
Find me one reputed source for its confirmation....other than the daily sabah and Turkish newspapers I can't find anything
Google it and see what you find.....zilch historical evidence other than a piece of paper way newer than the 15th century
Oh yes....a few after deporting over 2 million at the beginning of the 20th century....Muslim numbers are growing in Europe while in the ME are dwindling due to persecution...
Nobody even mentioned up until today....He bought it from whome? The Church...?....let's be serious...pls don't mention this nonsense to me,you're free to pat each other on the back with this ridiculous claim
No reputed historian takes the buying of Hagia Sophia seriously. I know that in your little fanatic mind Muslims opressing others is good while when the shoe is on the other foot you immediately start shedding crocodile tears but we're not forced to accept this ridiculous and hypocritical point...
I was talking about the context in the 15 th....19th centuries...You still have Muslims in Pakistan, Spain didn't anymore in the 16th century...now they have again and they allow the building of mosques
It's exactly the same....during the Serb, Greek revolts, Turk population sided with Turkish troops, the Moriscos in Spain had 2 revolts before the Spanish decided to expel them....It is hilarious how you guys try to defend Turkey while blaming others.
Exactly for the same reason I've stated before, states don't want a fifth column in their ranks. I'm not saying it's right but it's been done numerous times throughout history...expulsion because of ethnicity ,faith.
