What went wrong where some how Turks got to keep the capital that they stole?
Even Germany was given back most of their land after WW1 and WW2.
Was it the Eternal Jew getting back at the Greeks?
No, it should be taken by force, just as it as taken from the Byzantines.
Cooper Howard
Greco-turkish war V2?
Daniel Edwards
greeks cant even fight their way out of a loan desu
Bentley Hill
This thread is fucking retarded since Greeks are essentially non-existent in the city anymore.
That being said, it is pretty fucked up how the Turks essentially initiated the equivalent of Kristalnacht but during the 50's. It really that the international community only cares and acts about stuff like ethnic cleansings when it benefits them.
Parker White
well, they lost it 600 years ago, so they should forget about it.
Now, greek-romans held it for over a thousand years so you kind of could call it a reconquista if the greek retake it before the turks hold into it for another 1001 years. That way you have to go full scale war to retake it. That or the greeks could spend some money in arming turkish rebels to desestabilice turkey and take a oportunity to "secure" istambul.
Then they could ilegally keep it....
Jacob Anderson
>given back
Let this stupid meme die. Istanbul alone has more people than the entirety of Greece. The majority of the city is Muslim with some irreligious people. Greece is a shithole and can't even look after itself.
You are more likely to see the entire province fight for independence from Turkey once Erdofaggot goes full retard and introduces sharia law.
Isaiah Davis
No; it should be the site of a new power. Its name will be restored as Byzantion, and it shall represent the decline of Abrahamism and renewal of Pagan rule.
Converts will flock to this new realm, and thanks to our appreciation for science we will colonize the entire galaxy within a few decades.
Thomas White
>ignoring the fact that turkey can't hold their own either
The West would never let Turkey fall to radical Mooslums.
Christian Diaz
Sounds like a good plot to some sorta sci-fi.
Thomas Rogers
Modern day Greeks are just as pathetic as the Roaches They don't deserve to have it back

It's been so long since this all went down. It would be like Americans giving back America to the Native Americans.

No. The majority is muslim turkish now.
Istanbul, like Jerusalem, Mecca, and Medina, should be converted into an international city managed by the UN. This way no one's butthurt.

Maybe your standards have changed since the reality TV star became US president but politicians are sure as hell criticizing them. Between Turkey and Germany things even look so bad sanctions may happen.

No one can actually be retarded enough to believe this will happen, right?
John Cooper
The homeland of all Abrahamic religions is a desert shithole
T*rks should be exterminated, or at the very least deported back to central Asia.

Lucas Martin
Istanbul has more people than all of Greece combined. And contrary to what is believed, Constantinople isn't Istanbul, it's just a district of Istanbul.
To take Constantinople back, the Greeks would have to accomplish something that has never been done in history, the siege and capture of a megacity with a population on the tens of million. Could they pull it off? The fact that despite being racist and nationalistic as fuck, Greeks are wary of voting on far-right parties, tells everything. They really don't want a direct conflict with Turkey.
Oliver Powell
Even modern Istanbul looks much better compared to Athens user
Adam Hernandez

Greece has no claim on any area once held by Greeks. As a political entity, its really Italy that has the better claim to Constantinople.
Sebastian Fisher
Since Native Americans started claiming and leftist started advocating that America stole their land :)
Brody Phillips
>Should Constantinople be given back to Greece? There are more turks in Istanbul than greeks in Greece. You would literally have an easier time making Turkey give up the aegean litoral.
Brody James
What's that has to do with the city? Native americans did not have any form of government, while turks and greeks both did Greeks lost, and turks annexed their land How is that in any way stealing?
Brody James
I the Greeks can't do anything good with Athens, then what can they do with Istanbul?
Colton Roberts
Have you not been paying attention to what he's been doing? >Suspends democracy >Promotes Islamic fundamentalism >Complains that the west is conspiring against him. >Rolls back Kemalist reforms >Has a fake coup to imprison his political enemies
Eli Sullivan
this
Oliver King
To be fair the coup did happen, he just used it as an excuse to imprison or otherwise neutralize all his opponents no matter how uninvolved they were.
Ayden Garcia
coup did happen but it's likely that he knew the attempt would never succeed and let it happen as an excuse to clear up any close opposition
Kayden Butler
It did happen to be one of the most incompetent coup attempts I've ever seen.
