Greeks,they were fooled and used by England and someother european countries in WW1.

Just like anzacs were used and pushed in to battle by England.

So you bastard,where ever the hell you are from.Stop manipulating nice people on this site.

Hey Dude "Michael F46" this isn't your business, no offense but I'm sure we had enough capacity to (Turks and Greeks) handle our issues without 3th. persons help.

Thanx anyway ..

I dont think that english care so much about us..They have sjhowed it in the past..So your question is just provocation..It si something that concerns just the greeks, and nobody else...

For a Brit, ur English is (sorry but) damaged. In your Q, it is "accept" not "except". "...along with the Australia, but we have forgot....forgive and forget can they do it" (???) Maybe u have lived in Turkey a long time, thats why it sounds accented...idk.

Btw, ur Q is aimed at Greeks but u have posted in TR section. (just to let u know)

Greeks and Turks have fought in the past, and they have both accepted each other's victories and defeats. Both people are OK with that, because both Turks and Greeks are straightforward people, they don't hide things at the back of their heads.
The issues that divide Greece and Turkey are present issues, like Cyprus, Aegean claims etc.

TB, absolutely no one in Greece speaks of the Megali Idea or even remotely has such thoughts, ever since the 1920's.

I think the problem is their close proximity.

You know what it's like.

The Scots hate the English, the Dutch hate the Germans, the Canadians hate the Yanks, and everyone in the West Indies hates the Jamaicans.

It's the 'smaller country syndrome' venting all their grievances on to their much bigger and stronger neighbour.

You are not British, or you wouldn't say except instead of accept.

Vasiliki is absolutely right.
Award her best answer and
call it day....

PS: Ignorance and rudeness
are almost one in the same..
Awareness for the impolite one.

they where outnumbered like over 100 to one or something so I think the Greeks are actually better fighters though. does anyone remember that song by "they might be giants?" I think it was called you can't go back to Constantinople.

The problem is it didn't just involve 'soldiers' or the men.

I have friends whose baby son was taken by Turkish soldiers. They don't know to this day what happened to the baby, and will probably never forgive. In all honesty - do you think you could forgive and forget if it was your baby?

Why, pray tell, are you dwelling in inflammatory areas? Would it not be better to explore ways and reasons and benefits of getting along as neighbors?
History is past. Can we look into the future and learn NOT to repeat the mistakes of our forefathers?

Metro yeww!

uuhhh the greeks didnt lose the war you f'head. Turks lost cause theyre weak sh.its, AND NO! there will never be peace properly between Greece & Turkey. Why would greeks become friends with the devil's army(Turkey)?

GREEKS RULE ULEH!

What war are you talking about? If you are talking about the First World War, I think you'll find that Turkey was defeated.

droeohanian

well, th popultion there is pre-domintly greekand mostly greek. oh! and guys listen, the turks were running everything in cyprus with the help of the british. the british helped them set up the turkish cypriot police force to run everything in the state. but, the turkish government says that the greeks were attempting genocide on the turks living there but, how could they? the turks are in charge of everything there! and suddenly 1974 turkey invades and unfairly tears out the heart of cyprus in the north. and made an illegal entity there that is de facto . and when i see videos ANYWHERE! there are only pictures REAL PICTURES! of dead greek civilians and in ALL the videos i see the turkish soliders running and killing greek men who were running away from the artillery shells. CYPRUS IS GREECE! MARK MY WORDS! GREECE WILL NOT LET THIS INJUSTICE TOWARDS THEM GO UNPUNISHED!

Bonkers

Get your history right fool

Which war you talking about?

1800s ??

Where the Greeks kicked the turks butts.......start learning about March 25, 1821

curious

ask that question to Greeks

Son of a B

There you go, you hit a nerve.
You have a mistake in your question.
Will the Turks ever except losing the war to Greeks?

vcengen

What if they do admit it or don't? The war is in the past now.

We, as the people of Turkey and Greece should learn necessary lessons from it and try so hard to build a strong relationship between these two similar nations.

I don't think that ALL the Greek people hate us. Only the radicals, maybe some extremists and nationalists. (Same in here.) People don't have a problem with each other, it's all about (national) politics.

Look at the flags of these countries. We have red, they have blue and white is in common. I always think that the white represents The Aegean Sea or Mediterranean. We are not so different than each other.

No chance, the wounds are to deep and the history to strong and the countries a to close.
Altough I ve spent some time in Samos and Hios where Greeks and Turks live and work together well enough.

I ve been watching Turkish F16's scrambling to intercept Greek Planes for years around Izmir. Its fun to watch though.

I think its fun for the pilots aswell, I heard they have there own top Gun Tornaments up there, keeping score on how many times they lock on to each other.

Oh and for all the anti Brits on here, its wasted, we know everyone hates us. its a side effect of having ruled the largest empire ever known to man. like it or not. Most of the the best inventions have come from that small group of Islands known as Great Britain.
And all that was achieved whislt drinking as much beer as possible. Imagine what would happen if we sobered up

NO, they will never accept and they will never forget. Turkey's reign of terror against the Greeks has lasted over 75 years, and is still continuing today. Just ask the Ecumenical Patriarch and the Greeks of Constantinople. They will tell you.

I dont really care what the average greek thinks about the past wars and all these evils that were done against them.the greeks did thier share of evil in these wars so they are hypocrites everytime they point the finger.

a loss is a loss,defeat is defeat,u deal with it and move on.the ottomans were defeated yet you never see turks moaning about it,did any of u notice that? no.when was the last hate speech on yahoo against Britain and France because they occupied turkish land?

You know...these sections get on well without trolls.Its when a non-turk or non-greek starts mouthing off about turks and greeks that we end up bitching with each other.

Zoi ((Î–Ï‰Î®))

Greeks have accepted losing the war ages and ages ago.
We grew up along with our country, gradually, as it started to 'grow' and develope itself.

Orla C

I didn't know they were at war. Bad PR.

Totally Blunt

When their politicians stop using the Megalo Idea as a way to cover up their own incompetencies, yes.

If it weren't for politicians and priests, the way to friendship would be wide open now.

PS. And no, I won't be polite to people who talk about "invasion, genocide, dark Ottoman times" at every turn.

PS2: Yeah, right, no Megali Idea. That's why Northern Macedonia is Greek, Anatolian Aegean is Greek, Trabzon is Greek, that's why "Turks genocided Greeks", that's why "Turks invaded Greek Cyprus". Come on, who are you fooling? We answered these questions a thousand times. Eastern Roman Empire lasted for more than one thousand years and that makes EVERYTHING Greek, but Turks have been around for the LAST one thousand years but that makes... everything Greek again?

Stop that insultory rhetoric against Turks, or just take criticism like all civilized people. And that is that!
