st George of Cappadocia - I thought everyone knew that
who slew dragons before St G? St Michael by far the majority
where does Turkey come into it - we have had this before but we werent concentrating
Asia Minor ( that's where Cappadocia is, boys and girls) was mainly Greek before the Turkish ( Seljuk ) conquest 1300 give or take 200 y
Didnt matter when Greece was Turkish sort of ( keep it simples)
After the Great War, there was instability in Greece following the death of the then King from monkey B virus ( after a bite). 1922. This allowed Kemal Ataturk to foment war which he won hands down.
and the result - really huge population transfers - of stalinist proportions - 200 000 from Istanbul to greece, and 300 000 turks from Salonkia. Greek villages in Asia Minor decimated. I dont think there are any now.
foo I hear you all exclaim.
someone asked
oh the greeks in istanbul were called phanariots because they lived in the Phanar / Pera part of the city - And when the great chain was laid across the Golden Horn, to keep out the turkish galleys, 1458 the Turks pulled the ships around the anchor point of the chain over night
and how did Mehmet the conqueror motivate his admiral(s)?
DO it or I chop your heads off
