Mate, I think i know the reason why Albanians, Turks and Macedonians still remember the painful events and angry about it...
IMHO, because they are getting more and more concerned when they see the Greek army chanting about slaughtering their neighbors like pigs at 2010 and especially we are losing our hope when we see ordinary people at the streets of Athens claps these soldiers instead of protesting their racist behavior.
I personally believe that there are leftovers of 1974 Junta of the Colonels still in Greek army. Also same for politicians in Greece who still supports "EOKA/Enosis/Megali Idea/Pan-Hellenism" nonsense.
And i know, none of this will change till Greece revise its educational system who teaches little kids to hate all their neighbours and Greeks are supreme beings while all others are barbarians.
Also, with all my honesty, I can assure you that %99 of Turkish people doesn't hate Greeks. How come we can hate our closest komshu while we lived together in same villages, cities for minimum 550 years?
Don`t you know that the half of 600.000 people Greece sent to Turkey(at population exchange, 1924), could speak Greek and/or Macedonian language even better than Turkish? Or the half of one million Anatolian rhums could speak Turkish language better than Greek? Those people was our closest neighbors while some of them was even our brothers like "Karamanlides" society. The "Karamanlides" couldn't even speak a single word of Greek when they migrated to the Greece.
This is mine and most Turkish people`s feelings and i believe majority of Macedonians and Albanians feels quite same.

Its OK for you to say that about the Turks being "victims" of their times in europe. I understand you on that but the real question we all wonder is whether Greek people will say "youd have a better chance of selling water to the ocean" for peace and goodwill in Balkans OR not.
