An ethnic Greek or Greek by genus is the same.

Yes the Greek government is an authority on such matters.

They became Romanians last year for the same reason that alot of pure Makedonskis became Bulgarian last year.

Greece existed before 1830, just ask anyone who is not living in a parallel universe.

Greece is a multicultural society and has >90% of its population of an ethnicity which is Greek, much to the envy of its neighbours.

The French are ethnic Gauls, us Greeks call them Gali.

as for turks speaking macedonian. have you been to instanbul lately, i couldnt get away from turks speaking macedonian and telling me nostalgically how they still missed makedonia

What are you on about here? same old rambling coming from you and not making much sense. I said you dont speak Bulgarian, why are u getting upset? Your friend said POMAKS are Macedonian Muslims, i assume you agree with is?
Next time your in Istanbul and you meet a cab driver who speaks Macedonian videotape it for me.
For you to meet a Turk from the population exchange they would have to be in their graves or 80-90 years old, yet you somehow met them on every corner and couldnt get away from them.
But you said your village has roots from Epirus, and that your people were Mastori , pote ksehasate tis rizes sas?

What if they natural and first language was Turkish?

It is a well known fact that Pomaks (from pomogach meaning helper) are Bulgarian Muslims.
The vast majority live in the Rhodopi mts region on the Bulgarian/Greek border.

Bulgarian Muslims ... is that what Greece calls them for political purposes? Or is this construct something out of your own stable?
Take away the religion and they are Macedonians "by genus" MORE SO than the Asian settlers in Greece who spoke Turkish are Greeks "by genus" .

Wow, you are a mental giant.
There I was thinking you had some potential mental capacity but no ... parrot poo.

Ummm, all of the people who call themselves Greeks nowadays ... called themselves Romioi back in the good old days. Are you saying Greeks or Romioi existed before 1830? Please be clear about this. If they were Romioi, then why not keep a good thing .... many loved this so much they became modern Romanians. Surely you know about the famous Phanariotes that became "class A" Romanians.

The Greek government does not even admit to Turks living in Greece ... aren't they the "muslims" that live there?

You cannot say anything about Greece's multi-cultures ... a census has never been performed there. Is Greece ready to come clean yet?

I give a rat's arse ... but what does Greece call Germans? I would hazard a guess and say whatever King Otto told them to call them ... but historically the Germans came from Frankish tribes ... make my day and tell me you call them Franks.

there is no mention of second language, but rather that Turks spoke Greek and "Greek" spoke only Turkish. The text says:

the last arriving Greek boys staring broadly at the last-departing Moslem boys, speech between them being impossible, since the Greeks spoke only Turkish and the Turks spoke only Greek

Where is the reference to the second language???

and than again, on the Photo, it clearly states, that this "Anatolian Greeks" had to learn Greek.
