pure greeks

• it is with great sadness that i my self dont consider cypriots pure greeks thousands of years of occupation by a variety of nations would say so otherwise the fact that they speak a dialect of greek does not make you a pure greek. iam not trying to be racist far from it, i know egyptians that speak better greek from me,i have met old italian guys that consider them self from greek ancestry,so why the comments.i come from a pure greek community as my father would say simply for the fact that the turks never managed to conquer and feared like the devil him self during the occupation of greece.iam an ARVANITI and i can trace my family which lived in athens from 500 years ago to today and we also are from the first people to settle in hellenic times. and we are also the ones that kicked the turks asses when the independence of greece was declared in 1821. just want to make a point that the greeks were never afraid of turks and never will be just look at history no matter what battle we ever fought we were always out numbered by at least 3-1. greeks 10million turks60million no sweat any time, but on the other hand i dont hate and never will hate turks because my mums grandparent were greeks living in smyrna micra asia for centuries so i do have alot of love for that country and its people, so enough from all the people that get on and swear on this forum lets all hear about real facts greece vs turkey.
