Israel's Counter Terrorism Bureau has lifted a severe warning issued last month for Israelis to avoid traveling to Turkey, citing an end to stormy protests over Israel's deadly raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla.

Unlike the noble hellenic force who offered cheese and flowers to every town they ever conquered. People are either diluted, indoctrinated or just ignorant
And the vast majority were also innocent civilian victims. Now butt out and stop making a total fool of yourself.

Nikitas wrote:"It is a historical fact that before the
Island entered under the Ottoman rule in 1571, there existed no
influential Greek community in the Island. The Island was then under
the Venecian rule and the Catholic leadership kept under severe
suppression the Greek population which was sparsely scattered on the
Island. After 1571, the Ottomans allowed the construction of new
Orthodox Churches at every settlement and granted autonomy to the Greek
Archbishopship. It is extremely sad that this very Archbishop, in years
to come, professed to its followers the genocide of the Island's Turks."
You are full of shit for the following reasons which you can easily check on the net or in books.
1- Venice was host to a large Greek community in itself, so it would be unlikely to be repressing the Greeks in its colonial possessions.
2- The largest repository of Greek writing and works of art during Ottoman times was Venice.
3- The vitality of the Greek community of Venice is corroborated by the naming of the largest canal of Venice "Canal di Greci" canal of the Greeks.
4- One of the largest Greek Orthodox cathedrals in the world is Saint Demetrios in..... Venice.
5- The Greek Orthodox church in Cyprus never lost its status under Venetian rule nor was it forced to abandon the Greek language.
6- Crete was also under Venetian rule at the time, and it is indicative of the nature of the Venetian aristocracy that many of them did not speak Italian and wrote literary works in Greek. The poet Vincenzo Cornaro when presenting his great poem Erotocritos to the Venetian academy had to have an interpreter because he spoke no Italian.
7- The attitude off the Ottomans to the church is indicated by the preventive execution of all of the Greek Orthodox ranking priests in 1821 to prevent a revolt in Cyprus, and interestingly a Cypriot bishop serving in Dimitsana in Greece was also hanged at the same time presumably because he was Cypriot!
8- Greeks were not the only victims of the Ottomans. The repression in Bulgaria in 1877 was so cruel that a special session of the British parliament empowered the prime minister to declare war if necessary to stop the slaughter.
INSAN YOU TALK CRAP. CHECK IT OUT AND COME BACK TO US WITH FACTS.
“The Turkish Cypriot conquest can be thought of as a turning point in the evolution of Cypriot society. Its effects were tantamount to a true revolution, but a revolution imposed from the outside. The conquest brought about three fundamental changes in the Cypriot social structure whose effects are still deeply felt: (1) the destruction of European feudalism (mainly by Franks and Venetians) (2) the restoration of the Greek Orthodox church to its former position of dominance, and (3) the settlement on Cyprus of a sizable Turkish minority.
The Turks once they conquered Cyprus, either killed or expelled the European nobles. The feudal system was abolished and land was distributed to the former serfs, who were Orthodox Christians, and to the newly arrived Muslim settlers. The Turkish conquest, furthermore, created ethnic heterogeneity. Turkish migrants settled in Cyprus, and gradually a sizeable Turkish community was formed, eventually composing 18 percent of the total population.
Last, and the most significant, the Turkish conquest restored the Greek Orthodox church to its former princely status and endowed it with unprecedented secular and spiritual powers. The authority vacuum created by the abolition of the aristocratic order was filled by the church, which became the most central institution in Greek Cypriot society. The Turks recognized only Orthodoxy as the official non-Muslim religion of the island, and they persecuted the Catholics. In short, the Turks reversed the situation that existed under feudalism. In addition, the sultan vested the church with special administrative privileges, such as collecting state taxes and officially representing the Orthodox Greek s in Istanbul. The archbishop was elevated to the status of Ethnarc, national leader or political spokesman for the Greek population. Consequently, the church of Cyprus became under Turkish rule the most authoritative and powerful institution on the island. It has been said that during the eighteenth century the archbishop’s political authority was almost equal, if not superior, that of the Turkish Governor (Cobham, 1908)”
