The difference between you and them is, whether they are actually pontians is very suspicous to me,while you might be an authentic one. Those specific ones come from georgia, a large proportion are widely suspected of being muslim,they come from the Abkhazia region of georgia, and they all speak turkish (i do not know the answer to this one but they are not turks either). I think they are remains of the ottoman presence in georgia. Anyhow, there turkish is certainly impressive, i wonder if the annan plan was accepted they would have opted as 'turkish speaking citizens'.
