And where do you think the British got these expressions from? They simply preserved the going erroneous labels from the uneducated Ottomans...

"ethnos" is an imagination in megalomanic Greek's heads. It does not exist!

The fact that you constantly have to explain this vague and bizarre notion is evident of its lack of sense.

Today, Greece and Greeks are just a corrupt, bankrupt, and beaten group of incompetent individuals.


No need to mention that we have so much in common!

They obviously branded their own as “Turks”, the Venetian remnants as “Latins”, and then automatically assumed that the remaining people were “Greeks” because they spoke something that sounded like Greek and were Orthodox!
