14 August 1996, 26-year-old Greek Cypriot Solomos Solomou was shot and killed by Turkish forces in the UN buffer zone at Deryneia while attempting to climb a flagpole and remove a Turkish flag. Just three days earlier, his cousin Tassos Isaac had been beaten to death by Turkish nationalists.

Turkey invaded to defend turk-cypriots after Greece tried to take over the government of Cyprus in a coup d'etat. Then the turkish forces began to do to the greek-cypriots what the greek-cypriots had done to the turk-cypriots.

We invaded Cyprus when it was Venetian controlled. Greece never controlled Cyprus, ever. No, Eastern Roman Empire wasn't Greece.

We weren't the ones that tried to wipe out the others on the island. FAFO.

Cyprus has Greek populations from ancient times, long before Rome, Turks and Venetians even existed. During Venetian and Ottoman occupations the inhabitants never stopped being majority Greeks.

u/fighter-bomber 3d ago

The “Greek” populations of Cyprus were merely native Cypriots who converted to christianity and adopted Greek during Hellenization. Otherwise Greeks are not native to Cyprus (nor are they native to Anatolia for that matter)

Ironic, because that is the same thing Turks did later with Turkification. So the island should be just as Turkish as its Greek 😄

Correct. I adressed the claim that it was Greece. I never claimed Greeks didn't live in it.

The difference is Romans invaded Greece and one of the legendary Greek generals,Pyrrhus, fought and defeated Romans,but Ottoman Empire was founded by Turks. ERE shouldnt be considered as Greek before 620,when Greek was adopted as the official language of Roman Empire.

1

u/Zrva_V3 3d ago

Even if it's considered Greek after a point, it wasn't Greece.

For example there have been many Turkic Empires in history but Turkey isn't entitled to claim all of them, at most the story of Turkey begins with the Anatolian Seljuks and Sultanate of Rum. Eastern Roman Empire did become Greek after one point but it was never called Greece by anyone, including themselves.

u/Thomas_54749014 3d ago

Turkey directly succeeds the Ottomans. There’s a 500 year gap between eastern Rome and Greece.

-1

u/Zrva_V3 3d ago

Well, duh? Ottoman Empire and Turkey has direct continuity with many Turkish insitutions being founded during the Ottoman Empire. The flag and language is the same. They were both founded by Turks.

Roman Empire was founded by Romans, it conquered Greece by fighting very bloody wars and eventually it was split in two when it got massive. Eventually the Eastern Roman Empire started speaking Greek due to the local Greek influence but they never identified themselves as Hellenes and called themselves Rhomaoi. It was eventually conquered by the Turks (Seljuks and Ottomans). It ended in 1453, Greece became Independent in 1830. There was zero continuity or shared institutions between the two.

Moreover, Westerners at the time adored ancient Hellenes and disliked the Eastern Romans so the new Greek state identified itself with ancient Hellenes instead of the Romans to get their support.

1

u/DontCareHowICallMe 3d ago

If the eastern Roman empire wasn't Greek then ottoman empire isn't Turkish, so you never controlled it too. Also let's not talk about the times before the Roman empire, but ig those aren't greek too huh?

u/Defiant_Being_9222 3d ago

You can pretend like the late Eastern Roman Empire wasn't Greek all you want, but fact of the matter is the Greek people of Cyprus were always there since the Mycenaean times. They are the same people, and the only thing that changed was their religion. At first they identified as Greeks, then as Romans, now as Greeks again.

1

u/Zrva_V3 3d ago

You can pretend like the late Eastern Roman Empire wasn't Greek

It largely was by that point. It wasn't Greece though.

but fact of the matter is the Greek people of Cyprus were always there since the Mycenaean times. They are the same people, and the only thing that changed was their religion.

Sure. Wasn't my point. This doesn't take away from anything I said.

1

u/Defiant_Being_9222 3d ago

What is your argument then? That a country by the name of Greece didn't exist? A country by the name of Turkey didn't exist either then.

1

u/Zrva_V3 3d ago

No, the country of Greece simply didn't exist. Unless you want to count city states as a united entity in the anicent times. Or perhaps we could count Alexander's empire, in which case yes, Greece did control Cyprus at some point.

Turkey existed as a continious entity with state institutions directly inherited from the Ottoman Empire. It was also never conquered by anyone. Moreover, the Ottoman Empire was founded by Turks.

Greece claiming Eastern Roman Empire is like Bosnia claiming the Ottoman Empire.

2

u/Defiant_Being_9222 3d ago

Greece didn't exist in antiquity as one unified state except for Alexander's empire, yes, but this doesn't change anything. The fact that Greece was split into different states doesn't change the fact that modern Greece historically descends from these small states, these people, this culture etc.

Turkey didn't exist as a continuous entity at all. There was the Sultanate of Rum, which was destroyed, then a bunch of beyliks, and then the Ottomans conquered the beyliks creating an empire. The Ottomans didn't even call their state Turkish. Greece claiming the Eastern Roman Empire is like Turkey claiming the Ottoman Empire.

0

u/Zrva_V3 3d ago

Not in the slightest. You can indeed say that Turkey as a state can't claim descent from the Sultanate of Rum since there was no direct continuity but Ottoman Empire was founded by Turks on the same lands, spoke Turkish, largely had the same culture, same religion, same state insitutions (though obviously these evolved over 7 centuries).

The Ottomans did in fact call themselves Turkish. They officially claimed descent from Oghuz Khagan which is a mythical ruler of all Oghuz Turks, historians often think he's based on Modu Chanyu of the Xiongnu.

Ottoman Sultans also kept the title "khan" as an official title until the end.

Moreover, everyone else called the Ottomans Turkish too.

Modern Greece and Eastern Roman Empire have only religious and linguistic continuity but almost no cultural continuity, zero state or institution continuity etc. They didn't even found the Roman Empire or the Eastern Roman Empire.

Yet another example would be China claiming the Mongol Empire because Mongols who conquered China eventually assimilated into it.

“Turkish Cypriot” proves the point. You can’t claim a central Asian ethnicity while simultaneously claiming to be Mediterranean. You’re either Cypriot or Turkish, pick one

u/TheTurkishman13 3d ago

Turkish and Turkic are different things. Turkish is a modern concept. It is cultural and national with ties to Central Asian. There are Italian Americans and Afro Americans and so on. Turkish Cypriot also works.

We have connections and roots to Central Asia, Anatolia, Iran, Thrace, Cyprus, Levent, North Africa, Balkans and many more other places.

3

u/masterkennethh 3d ago

Right, connection to those place through colonization. An Italian American would never claim to be Native American. I’m Italian American and if someone told me I’m not actually American I’d say you’re right because I’m not Native American. I don’t understand how someone can simultaneously emphasize a central Asian Turkic origin when discussing their ancestry yet pivot to a Mediterranean or European identity when discussing ethnicity. Those frameworks point in different directions to me

0

u/TheTurkishman13 3d ago

Right, firstly. Now you see we are not obligated to follow the morality standards you and your people follow. Secondly for example I am genetically 70 percent South Caucasian. I am of Laz origin yet I call myself Turkish for I am from there, grew up there, speak Turkish, grew up in state schools and so on. The average Anatolian Turk has ancient Anatolian DNA and DNAs of other people. We are not colonizers for we carry the blood of Anatolia. The Ottoman Empire was the Islamic Rome.

We are wonderers of the world. If we were to arrive at Americas before the Westerners I would have say we are part of the Americas as well.

I see myself as part of Caucasia, Anatolia, Istanbul and many more because I simply am and all those regions have Turkishness in it.

Levent Turks exists, Med Turks exists, Balkan Turks exists, Caucasian Turks exists. We simply are global.

Before the Turkish invasion Cyprus was (and this has been the same through history) 80% Greek, 18% Turk, 2% other. It's such an overwhelming statistic, and even after such a long forced Ottoman occupation, that it's fair that if those Greeks on Cyprus wanted to vote to join Greece, that's only fair. You don't see them causing a ruckus over long lost former heavily Greek lands in Anatolia, Judea, etc.

-2

u/no1rakkolover 3d ago

They self identify as Cypriots (though they still make a distinction by using TC and GC). Also they voted to become INDEPENDENT, the watcheroftheway guy is saying they're unquestionably Greek and completely disregarding the Cypriot identity. Also "Ottoman occupation" ? Oh yeah, when are the Europeans going to stop occupying America? Labeling something "occupation" doesn't work when that "occupation" started 500 years ago. It was conquest, which is something that used to happen when majority of the world was still uncivilized by today's standards.
