Cyprus. They had Greece by their side. But they were too, scared to act against the Turks.

Turkish soldiers are not cowards like yours to flee on the first sight of the enemy.
Mate, we are Western Oghuz....We bow to none.
Ummyads and Abbasids... we never contacted them.
Samanids....When Turks came to these lands first thing they do is to destroy their empire
Safavids...they are Azeri Turks. We clashed with them yes but never got ruled with them. Also got back-stabbed by them when Fatih was preparing to invade the Rome.
We have say in Turkish "If the prayers of a dog was accepted, bones would fall from the sky."
