That’s a very good point. All these counties should be grateful. The cynic would say that we’re it not for the Turks showing up, these problems would not exist in the first place. That’s certainly the case with Bosnia. Bosnians would be Christians in a Christian Europe, our neighbours would be serbs also Christians with the same or similar language, and there would not be so many serbs in our country because the Turks would not have brought them over to work as serfs on our lands.
So I’m only half joking when I say you are obligated to help
While I agree with you about the problem in Syria. I believe we have a huge part in that mess. (Well not we, Erdogan actually. even if I hate him I cant distant myself from the responsibility of my country)
I don't agree with you about Bosnia. This is super off topic so I won't say anything else I respect tour point of view.
We have a saying in Turkey. "If my grandma had a mustache she would be my grandpa" what you are suggesting is indirect effects of historical events. What if Muslims and Christians got along better ? What if serbs moving in to the area embraced bosnian identitiy ? What if Yugoslavia still existed today ? What if Ultra-nationalism wasn't a popular school of thought in that region? See you can create numerous scenarios which could made the things not like how it were. Bypassing all that thousand factors and tying that ti Turkey is just not compelling to me.
Look at England Celtics. Invaded by Romans. And then Invaded by Vikings, Great Heaten Army, Pagans. Died by the thousands. And then later some french noble came and took british crown and became king. He didn't even know how to speak english at first. And after all that. A empire was born almost ruled the world. If they had failed there were several good excuses you must admit. So don't even start what ottomans did in that area hundreds of years ago. Please.
