Ottoman Monuments in Greece and Including Ottoman colorized footage from Balkan in 1909

The same reason why so many young Greeks migrate to Germany despite prevalent anti-German sentiment in Greece.

Growing anti-German feeling on streets of Greece

Many Greeks are angry at Germany and the troika's demands for public services cuts and hikes to taxes which they say are already too high to pay

North Africans migrated to France because they were part of the French Empire and its economic structure in the same way that Greece is part of the EU and therefore many Greeks moved to a country whose geo-political actions were perceived in their home country as negative.

Individuals first and foremost care about their and their offsprings economic well being. Ideologies and political views come second.

The anti-German sentiment started during the first years of the crisis and it was mostly,if not only,against the German government and politicians who advocated for extremely harsh austerity meaures while calling Greeks lazy.

However with muslims going to Europe,it's a bit different. Yes,the colonial syndrome makes sense,but then again,you can't complain all the time about French occupation,British occupation,Spanish occupation and then run to these countries. Especially when you constantly belittle them,call them names,hate their culture,religion and traditions.

Then again,the Cypriots do the same with the British,just like Indians,Pakistanis and Banglas. They will nag about "British occupation" and then go to London to study and live.

I agree partial with Iran.. The Greek mythology is to far out in history like 4000 years ago we are talking recent history

4000 years ago was the beginning, our historic roots. There are not many civilisations as old as ours. And we had good and dark times. The ottoman occupation were the darkest times. A pure horrorshow where no happines or joy was possible. It was barbaric and horrific times. I thank god and my ancestors who fought so hard to bring us freedom and happiness back. To be free of that opression is the greatest gift, we ever got.

Yes the Cypriot example is a good one. Both Greek and Turkish will migrate to the UK despite their history of animosity. Its not only a Muslim only phenomenon. Mexicans will migrate to the US despite the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. 6% of the Spanish population originates from the country's former colonies in South America. People everywhere migrate to give their children a better life. Its a basic human phenomenon that has existed since the very first human.

My favourite piece of Ottoman architecture in the Balkans is the bridge in Mostar. Apart from the structure itself the surroundings around it also add to its beauty.

It's one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in Bosnia from what I know. I've never been there,but I agree with you of course,it's an absolute beautiful place. The Ottomans built a lot of similar bridges in the Balkans. Too bad the Croats blew it up during the war,but I guess rebuilding it was ok.

Germany was a Turkish protectorate when they got cornered in Europe and sought refuge with them.

Look what architecture compared to the Turks? You have left nothing except one thing. The Turkish architecture is much superior than the ancient greek architecture.

Can you build marvels like this

That marvel is a Greek Byzantine using a Greek architecture and saying the Greeks can’t build something like it it shows how stupid you are lol.
