The Greek Turkish conflicts go back to the 1400's when the Ottoman turks invaded Greeks (under the Eastern Roman Empire aka Byzantine)and many ethnic conlficts since. \n\nIn Cyprus, the problem has to do with Cyprus (A Greek island, but autonomous from the Greek nation) having an ethnic Turkish minority. When the island was having revolts and many wanted to unify with Greece Turkey feared for the Turkish minority. In 1974 Turkey attacked the island and occupies even till today illegally 1/3 of the island! \n\nMost Greeks were made refugees in their own country and had to flee to the south side of the island. Many were killed, and many are missing even today. The Turkish invasion plan was a complete disaster, because it destroyed a lot of people and towns, villages, people, and infrastructure was firebombed and many were destroyed/killed.\n\n Following the invasion which the UN to this day does nothing, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was set up, which is internationally recognized only by the Turkish Republic and Azerbaijan. The Turkish government sent settlers into the territory to "Turkify" it and it has only made a bad situation worse to resolve.  The occupied side of Cyprus is a huge cost to Turkey, it is very underdeveloped and poor unlike the other side which is prospering. Although Turkish nationalists will disagree, even a Turkish member of the Foreign Ministry has admitted that it is a mistake to me privately. \n\nSo there is the dispute in Cyprus, the island has been divided for 31 years over an illegal invasion, which the whole world has sat back and done nothing about, and with every year that has past the situation only got more difficult to resolve.

You would not expect the Armenians to come out and say yes we killed a bunch of Azerbajanis because we don't like them.  Just like the Turks won't say they killed Armenians because they don't like them.  The whole area is made up of violent groups from each country, and they are xenophobic and hate the other ethnic groups.  The governments all support the violent people hoping that they will be able to gain more power and land.

I am a Greek, Brought up in Athens and I can most certainly testify that Greek schooling and general attitude during the 80's was against the ottomans and the muslims in General.  Not many Greeks I know are particularly friendly towards muslims. This is normal and natural.  Greece is the natural border of christian europe and has defended the continent from muslim invasions for eons.  Hellenic nationals had to stick together for many years and cope with a lot of misery. It was because of xenophobia, racism and a sense of superiority that Greece and its people survived as a nation through the wars and the attempted systematic extermination of our ideals and genetic and cultural identity.  It was Kisinger him self that famously said that the 'Greeks are difficult to tame and we shall dilute the glue that holds them together'.     What people need to realise is that Iran and Greece has something very very very much in common they are both pelasgian tribes of the original white race.   Yes Iranians are perhaps the most true representations of ARIAN.  What we trully have in common is that our true civilisation has been supressed by two oppresive types of religion Christianity and Islam.  The brightest Iranian and Hellenic minds have been enslaved with dogmatic oppressive thought suppresing cultural viruses - religion.   The rulers of this planet are SOO HAPPY when pelasgian populations fight with each other as it guarantees their control.  GROW UP,  OPEN YOUR MIND AND WAKE UP !

In the real world there are things called strategic resources which countries desperately need, they are willing to fight for them.  Also, religion makes people hate each other. ect.  It's not realistic that war will go away any time soon.

Because they thought that they could make a deal with Hitler and they didn't want to fight. Sounds like some people today who were against going into Iraq and Afganistan. History repeats itself.

No. Because then there would be sects within that religion. One group wouldn't like how another worships...then one group will think another isn't devout enough. Then, bammo! War. Again. Still. sigh.\nReligion only leads to war because of human beings.\nPeople are the root of war. Not any one religion.

If you had a bully that was going to kick your butt.Then he hit you and it feels like being hit with a wet noodle.How would that make you feel?That's what happened in Iraq.There were so many people in the Iraq government trying to convince the other Islamic countries that they were the strongest,that they didn't know where thew truth was.I have known someone that had the same problem, never knowing where one lie starts and the next one stops.We(the World)were all lied to by Saddam's people.That's all the information we(the World)had to go on, think aboout that.

i think the cuts are still raw from the turkish invasion, back in the 70's the turks invaded cyprus and today there is still 1600 cypriots missing and unaccounted for, the cypriots have been banned from entering a region of their own land(famagusta) to even retrieve their relatives bodies, yes our troops are there but only to keep the peace. nothing has been done to help the greek cypriots with this situation. so i can understand the mans anger to a certain degree. i went to cyprus on holiday and saw this, it really is heartwrenching stuff, maybe he should have explained to you why he feels the way he does instead of just having a rant at you!

When I was a kid a group of Grrek Cypriot army officers staged a coup on the island.  The turkish population about 40+% felt threatened by the coup leaders so they called their brethern in Turkey for help.  Turkey invaved and siezed about 40% of the island and the Turkish Cypriots declared their own country which only Turkey recognized.  For some 30 years the island has been divided between the two nations.  One recognized by the world and the other not recognized. \n\nabout 5 years ago under pressure from Turkey and the EU,  Turkish Cypriots voted for a timetable for reunification.  The Greeks knowing that they were going to get EU membership and at the secret urging of Greece voted down the measure.  \n\nThe EU was angry and they agreed to open up dialogue with Turkish Cyprus.  Cyprus now an EU member along with Greece block EU aid to and dialogue with Turkish Cyprus.\n\nBoth Turkey and Turkish Cyprus rightfully feel betrayed by the EU and Greek Cypriot treachery.  \n\nEU membership is important to Turkey but so is national pride.\nNo Turkish government will survive if they open their ports to Greek Cypriot shipping without some sort of reciprical move from Cyprus or the EU.

Greece and Turkey have been fighting about that for a long time.  I would not feel comfortable buying any land there until things get straighted out.......Both countries are trying to work it out though

The area around where this happened was divided into different ethinic groups and actually seperate countries, & the Jews where not the majority at all. So the Swine probably belonged to some Greeks or others. However it is more then likely that the whole story is an allegory and bull$hit. Surely an intelligent talented pig like yourself does not believe in demons or miracles and are aware the Bible is 90% lies, and as a pig you know you have a strong sense of self preservation. There is no such thing as Kosher bacon either.

Nobody wants to examine their own sins.  Look how many years it took before school books admitted some of the horrible things the U.S.Calvary did to Native Americans.  And it is not just the Armenians.  Turkey and Greece are "allies" but are constantly at each others throat.  As long as one people believe they are better than anyone else in the world, there will be this stupid, mass destruction.
