If Russia couldn't gave you the momentum....i doubt that Trump will.....
Well, some of the Orthodox believes that they will conquer Constantinople and drive us back to Mongolia.
Many wellfare states in EU have a hard time in justifying a increase in defense budget, the biggest problem is the aging population which causes an increase in social wellfare spendings and decreasing working population paying those services.
We (Turks) didn't destroyed a single Church in Anatolia. We didn't destroyed a single building which belongs to ancient Romans.
Nope, Syria has never ever been part of our sphere of influence, and same with the U.S who never had any influence in Syria(even today we and they don't have much, apart from giving some limited support to rebel groups fighting dictator Assad).it was a former French colony, and then ruled by a tyrant dynasty the Assad familly since it's independence from France to this day. it's only after the civil war, that we somehow reluctantly got involved, Syria has never been crucial for us anyway, never cared much about the country(it doesn't have much to offer anyway) and has been Russian/Soviet ally. Our focus has been on Gulf and other the middle eastern countries .
Who told you we don't have influence in the countries we have military bases? You think a country/power will come out of nowhere and establish a military base/presence in a foreign country without exerting any influence whatsoever there? Lool Good one. If that was the case then even Spain or Turkey will have a base in Russia.

Just a small example. just because we don't go around shouting/singing praises doesn't means you should think otherwise.
Many.So,what of it? The CHurches in Anatolia where there before the Turks,the mosques in the Balkans were buildings of the invaders.

Who cares? It's all in the past. Today, we need to look at the future. Crimes have been committed in the past true. But we should all move on.flamer84 post: 8897276 said:
Ok if you say so genius .
By your logic the Christians themselves were invaders of Anatolia, before them it was the Greeks, Anatolia belongs to Turks for a millenia, what was before is irrelevant, drop the self-righteous attitude and deal with it.
Yeah all people converted peacefully to Christinaity, the old testament was so peaceful after all, you call those facts? We know how distorted your facts can be sometimes.
No,you imagine you know.Yes,most did,more peacefully than another religion anyway.As for the Old Testament,that's why Jesus came.If people would read a little instead of throwing the same rants things would be easier.
