The intention was to keep intact infrastructure so they wouldnt have to rebuild it, then suck off the taxes of the Christians. So in both cases they neither destroyed the cities or christian people. They were feeding off of them like parasites. The ottoman basically were opportunists that had already been employed in the Byzantine empire. They saw a weakness and took it. To say it was a Turkish empire is wrong since the Turks were pretty much infrantry and cannon fodder while the Greeks, Armenians ran the show. It was a Muslim imitation of the Byzantine empire.

A precursor to the laziness they would introduce into the Balkans and subsequently set us back 500 years.

Take a trip anywhere in the balkans and if you cant see the same similarity then there is nothing I can do to help you. Maybe give you a crowbar to pry your head out of your ass, but thats about it...

I wish they would have never ban you Voltron because you are clearly more uglier and imbecile after your return to the scene.
Still mumbling about Ottoman era before 1821 for your laziness? I just pity for you, poor greeks with their drama of innocence for all the problem you have.

I wonder if Euronews asked same questions to the Sarkozy when 1000s of Algerians and African blacks burned 100s of cars in the streets of Paris suburbs and wildly rioted against the French government 2-3 years ago? Did they ask questions to Sarkozy about the ethnic tensions in France? Or how about the serial killing of 10 Turks in Germany by the neo-nazis with the help of German intelligence agency. Did Euronews sent a reporter to Angela Merkel and asked questions about the ethnic tensions and the murders by the supervision of German intelligence agency?
This is just a pure hypocrisy as expected from a fcking EU propaganda tool.

How about you then? Do you approve the immigration of Bulgars to the Balkans and killing the eastern Romans to settle there? There is no need to go that far either; Do you approve Bulgarian army invading Macedonia 65 years ago, in WW-2? Razor, i hope you are intelligent enough to understand that this question of yours was plain stupid.Last edited by Onur; 06-25-2012, 09:46 AM.

Well, there is a big difference between the Ottoman Empire invasion of the Balkan peninsula and the Bulgarian occupation of Macedonia during WW2. For one, I'm not aware of any wars between Bulgaria and Macedonia at that time, but I'm aware that Bulgaria spent several billion USD in the infrastructure of Macedonia. So you can't compare the two.
I don't approve of Bulgaria going in Macedonia during WW2 - I think it was a mistake and if it was up to me I would not do it. So no - I don't' approve of it.
