Actually, megalism and megalistic are two new terms I invented, you will hardly find them anywhere else in any dictionary, to describe a superiority (inferiority) complex one has about his size. It is a form of discrimination, based on size, just like heightism, racism, nationalism, etc. English language may thank me for enriching its vocabulary base, thanks to the Turks too. Megalomania has a slightly different meaning.

I like the spirit, but the English language does have an answer to your needs…
“Turks' aggrandized complexes.”

It is a common practice among mature and cultured people not to go around self-praising, boasting and adulating themselves; but instead to let others freely recognize, talk and praise them for their qualities and achievements. To do the opposite, is an indication of a person’s low self-esteem, insecurity and inferiority complexes. The same I believe holds true for countries and nations, as well as their representative political and all sorts of other leaders.

"megamoronia"?
PS: A new word I just invented by the way, you'll never find it anywhere, applies specifically to some Greeks/GCs.:lol:

The driver stopped, lowered his window and explained that it was not possible for a Mercedes to wait behind a 2CV. We both parked 100 yards at the road's end.
The syndrom oe megalism is a manifestation of mimetism. First they copied Enosis by uniting northern Cyprus with Turkey. Now they are after the Megali Idea and how Turkey should dominate developments in the whole of the Middle East.
