Who don't know how it started or by whom. Historiographers say that these types of incidents were more about personal feuds rather than organised nationalistic movements. In the end, noone is holier than anyone else. But everyone who cited any kind of killing, I'll come back with a counter one...

Albania didn’t change its toponyms for nationalistic reasons like *cough* Did your country keep old toponyms?

A Greek reporter asked the French president during his visit to Athens today: “What will France do if Greece’s sovereignty is threatened in the Aegean?” Macron responded, “If your sovereignty is at risk, do what you have to do; we will be here.” What do you guys think of this statement?

I'm Greek and I've been studying my language for 20 years. You're gonna talk to me? Aristotle taught Alexander. In what language, English???

In September 1906, an Albanian çeta (gang band) murdered the Orthodox bishop of Korçë, a town located to the West of Bitola, an area heavily inhabited by Albanian speakers. At first glance, one could perceive, in this murder of the local chief of the Orthodox community perpetrated by a group mainly made out of Muslims, the tangible expression of a religious clash. In reality, this violent act, viewed in a wider scope, must be interpreted within another framework, the rising of the Albanian nationalism. The third reference of the Wikipedia article you posted...

Coffe reading?

This is not properly done. When you drink your coffee do not drink the last sip. Then swirl the coffee a bit to loosen the coffee grounds at the bottom. Put the coffee plate over the cup and carefully turn it over and the plate and the cup down. Wait for a few minutes while the coffee drips on the sides of the cup and in the plate (this is the time you gossip about the neighbourhood news). Lift the cup carefully and start reading. Start from the opposite side of where the drinker drank the coffee. This is about things about further from the drinker (remote friends, acquaintances). As you move closer to the drinking point it becomes about close family and the drinker. From the top to the bottom of the cup it refers to the future. Top is about things about to happen, bottom is about more distant future. The darker the bottom the more ominous the future. Then you start recognize patterns. Rivers are paths (literal or figurative). Bubbles and dots are news or rumours.

Which one is the worst?

They did not last much... And they are testament of the low IQ of the rest of the country. While being illegal, they were still allowed to run for elections and get banned only after the elections...

The grand majority of churches in Istanbul were converted immediately. The few that remained were used by the still largely Christian population of the city (Athens was never inhabited solely by Muslims in history). Most were still converted to mosques after 1922 or 1955. Of those that remained most were declared monuments of human heritage by UNESCO (and yet still some were converted to museums, concert halls (???), or mosques again). Also, since the post is about capitals, how many Christian churches are in Ankara?

What if Greece after 1821 had fully focused on the creation of a colonial empire akin to Belgium or Portugal?

It is possible but challenging. You need to remove landowners and rush colonialism. You will also need to eradicate malaria, but you'll need to spam universities for that. Wait... What sub is this???

And the question stays. Why would a predominantly Christian country have mosques in its capital? Also, exactly as many churches were converted to mosques in Turkey the same happened in Greece

I have said the same about posts trying to do the same thing with "questions" about Greece. Also, I love in a city that has ample Ottoman architecture, so I wouldn't say that. But why should mosques exist in Athens? For the Pakistani immigrants? The OP intentionally omits Xanthi and Komotini. Why?

They are documented though... Armenians, Greeks, Assurians... Just because you deny them doesn't make them go away. Unless you're an ostrich.

Do you agree with the ambassador? Are Albanians or other Balkaners wrongly blamed for things in the UK?

I don't hate anyone. The comment was that there was peace in the Ottoman empire and I provided evidence that countered this argument. Maybe Ankara was always peaceful too, but a single place doesn't represent a whole empire. It's like the Brits claiming Pax Brittanica because London was ok at the time...

This year marks 200th anniversary of the Exodus of Messolonghi starving Greeks after year long siege attempted breakout over surrender leading to masscre the event was key in Great Power intervention against Ottomans after hearing of the atrocities.

Not the first time in the past ...week. Also, if you notice it's one of a pair of accounts recently from Greece pushing similar "questions". Maybe they're affiliated to a certain group of truth....
