Concerning the non-Greek origin and history of Asia Minor

[momce]

As usual with the greasers they take their own element and universalise it for an an entire area and make people believe they originated the place. Well most people in Asia Minor didnt think it was all greaseball land. Considering what the true character of grease demographic settlement was an is in all these areas they are ripe for the big squeeze.

deep down they know what their own country is up to.They must know they are transplanted fakes.Why because there is the endopi,the original indigenous people..So no matter how much they try to be call panmachs,greek macedonians ,they are no such thing
there never was.JUst because someone is geographically there doesn't make them macedonian.The fact one speaks greek will not qualify them to be macedonians as the macedonians had their own language which was unintelligible to the greeks.The greeks deny that the macedonians had their own language so a key factor is if they spoke greek they must have been greek.This pure & utter bs.Yes the royal house only spoke greek only for trade & commerce.BUT back home in macedonia they all spoke macedonian not greek.The NORMAL macedonian had NO NEED to speak greek or anyother language except MACEDONIAN.TO the greeks & malaka website i challenge you to prove the greekness of macedonia.Ancient history shows the macedonians were not a kindred to the greeks NOT related to the greeks they were a seperate people.
Also a challenge to the malaka nutcases prove to us that greeece occupied aegean macedonia prior to 1913.Fact is they never did the greek population in the aegean area was 10 % they we a minority where as the macedonians were a majority.Also the greeks
had an embassy in solun prior to 1913.So proof that the macedonians existed is on a huge number of threads posted byour ever famous TM greek myth buster extraordinaire.
Greeks stop lying about macedonian non existence & substituting your "greekness".

Summary:
- Around 1239 a large group of Cumans (a Turkic people of the steppes), fleeing before the Mongols, crossed the Danube and invaded Thrace.
- John Vatatzes succeeded in settling most of them in Anatolia throughout the Meander valley and the region east of Philadelphia.
- The Cumans were enrolled in the army and soon afterward received baptism.
- The Cuman reserve light cavalry were settled in Asia Minor.
- 2,000 Cuman light cavalry fought at the battle of Pelagonia in 1259.
- The majority of A. Strategopoulos' 800 troops which retook Constantinople in 1261 were Cuman.
- Michael VIII Palaiologos' European campaigns of 1263-64, 1270-72, and 1275 included large Cuman contingents.
- The Cumans settled by Vatatzes are also encountered in 1292 during Andronikos II Palaiologos's unsuccessful campaign against Epirus. The army was an undisciplined mix of TURKS and CUMANS who terminated the campaign by an unauthorized retreat.

Quote:
- "Most significant for the empire was the transfer of large numbers of Slavs to Asia Minor, in particular to Bithynia and Cappadocia, where they seem to have been eventually drafted into the provincial armies, as a number of lead seals of the officials who dealt with them demonstrate."

Quote:
- "A source dating back to the end of the Thirteenth Century speaks of bloodshed during a conflict between the Vlachs in the Boleron Theme and imperial revenue agents (Maximos Planudes, in, N.-S. Tanasoca, 1974). According to Georgios Pachymeris, large numbers of well-off Thracian Vlachs in the Fourteenth Century who owned fine houses and many sheep were dispossessed by the Emperor and forcibly moved to Asia Minor in a massive colonization effort motivated by fear of an impending Tartar invasion and anticipation that the Romanians would side with the invaders."

I wasn't sure where to add this one, but I'm putting it here.

Catalans, Armenians, Cumans, Slavs on Chios.
