Voltron you are living in a dreamworld of make beleive.Do you really think you are going to get your mansions back or you are going to give them back.I don't think so.You are asking for the impossible.Even if you could do you think the turks are silly enough to let you enjoy your mansion i don't think so.Once the houses were confiscated there is no way in hoot in hell you'll get them back & vice versa.

Originally posted by Voltron View PostThose luxurious homes you mentioned have been confiscated by Turkey not sold, so I fail to see your point.
I don't think anyone`s property has been confiscated and even if such a thing happened, i am sure you Greeks received compensation `till the last cent. Greek Cypriots sues us in the EU courts even for their stupid hatches and wooden barns left in northern parts. If you would have your luxury mansions here, you would sue us for the 10 times of it`s value and yell around in EU parliament.
What chances are there for me to get my family's home back? Not likely, for the reasons you mentioned. Once again, nice try.
Also, your chance is equal as my chance to get back my grandparents properties in Petrich or equal as the descendants of 650.000+ Turks who came from Salonika and other parts of Aegean Macedonia.

Originally posted by Onur View PostThanks El Bre. Apparently he is, which confirms what i wrote above here;
Voltron denies this as he blindly refuses whatever i wrote here but it`s so obvious and well-known that Greeks from Turkey was much more rich, well-educated and more intelligent than the ones Greece. It`s no surprise that they have higher status than later immigrants from Greece. Because most of their grandparents had big properties in most luxurious spots in Istanbul. They sold these and immigrated to US after 1920s. For example, just one mansion with bosphorus view in Istanbul are being sold here up to 15-18 million US dollars. These mansions always had this value in Istanbul, even in 1920s.Last edited by Voltron; 04-23-2011, 06:24 PM.

If you own a BlackBerry, you probably dont know it, but it was a Greek that founded that technology. This is just one example. In any scientific research or technology you will find Greeks there. Rarely will you find a Turk.Last edited by El Bre; 04-23-2011, 05:03 PM.

Already, you cannot easily build your own jets by setting yourself apart from the umbrella of NATO. I mean, even if you try, you might find your engineers dead with a suicide note written by CIA agents or some problems like that!
No Voltron, Turkey will always be 2nd grade country in world economy unless western world self destructs with their own economical problems. To be in the first grade, you gotta find energy sources to leech. Turkey buys all of it`s energy needs from outside, so this makes us impossible to compete with western world giants who has colonies like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Saudi Arabia etc. I mean, to be a first grade economy, we should have been the one who bombs Libya right now, instead of France, Italy, USA, England. Turkey will never do such things and even if we try to do it, we cannot sell it to the world as "we are bringing democracy" like western powers does. Also, we cannot prevent them to do this either since we don't have Cyprus, Morea, Crete in our hands anymore, to be able to totally control whole mediterranean sea. There is a puppet state called "Greece" in there for a while! Do you understand what i mean?
Risto, let him continue to dream about Turkey as a desert with sand hills, camels, Arabs and belly dancers. I know that it makes them feel good inside. You know, Greeks cant survive without their myths whether it`s about their ancient hellenic origins or about Arabic Turkey!!! Those myths are their food&water!!!
Even now with Libya, you played hard to get than made a complete u-turn when we called your bluff. You will always be second rate because your mentality is that of carpet traders at the local bazaar. Like I said having your geographic location with tons of gas and oil pipelines you should be light years ahead. Instead you make excuses.

The Greeks in Greece usually emigrate to countries like US, Canada, UK.

FYI, whatever electronics Turkey does now is from the close cooperation from Israelis that had for many years. On their own they wouldnt of managed it. They are good at other things. They couldnt even build a train without it derailing five times.

15 largest, if you guys had half a brain you should be within the top ten. I mean look at where your country sits on. Its situated in prime location yet it takes you guys up until now to actually make use of it. Not to mention you ability to devalue your currency where in Greece we cant. There is no comparison, you should be light years ahead but your not.

Originally posted by Voltron View PostGreek government has already condemned the incident. In the past, we wouldnt even do that. Things are different now, obviously we cant keep guard of every synagogue in Greece. We are not a totalitarian state, we dont have camreras on streets
Please read below regarding if there are Cameras on streets in Greece.
Greek Court Will Rule On CCTV
"3 November, 2005 » Camera surveillance
The Greek public prosecution service has filed an appeal on 11 October 2005 at the highest administrative court of Greece against a decision by the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (DPA) that a new large high-tech CCTV system in Athens can only be used to monitor traffic."

Science and tech in Greece? LOL? Are you for real? Show me one factory in Greece where you can manufacture F-16 jets, submarines. Lets leave those, tell me if there is one factory to build simple home electronics or cars? Turkey has all of those for decades dude.
Just tell me one industrial sector where Greece is in top10 in the world??? Is there any? I can name you several Turkish companies with top5 or top10 in the world, from construction to agriculture.
Yeah yeah, we became 15th biggest economy in the world with kebabs and loukums. So, you better work hard from now on, maybe you can be world`s 14th best economy with souvlaki and gyros :lol
