from some of our Turkish brethren, it seems that the ottoman empire is alive and kicking,

The potential risk in 1000 words.

Shouldn't you explain what the map shows?

A recent survey conducted by Bahçeşehir University under the auspices of the 2012 World Values has shown that Turkish citizens’ feelings of national pride show significant regional variations.

Survey results showed that when asked whether they were proud of being a Turk, some 10 percent of Turkish society declined to be called a Turk. In the largely Kurdish populated southeast region only 23 percent said they were proud of being a Turk, the survey said. Bahçeşehir University prepared the survey after interviews were held with 2,205 people in 64 cities across Turkey and 152 districts between 2011 and 2012.

.................

In contrast, support for the Turkish military has steadily declined from a high of 94 percent in 1996 to 78 percent this year.

I would hardly describe what Alexander the Macedonian and his successors did as peaceful colonisation -

That was not colonisation. It was an aggressive/military invasion, the initial purpose of which was not to ind new lands for settlement, but to conquer the territories of the Persian Empire, punish it for the its "wrong doings" against Greece during the previous centuries and eliminate its might, thus freeing Greece and the Greek cities of Asia Minor and the middle East from the constant Persian threat. When speaking of Greek colonisations historians refer to those of the early and late bronze ages mainly, as well as the colonies founded in the east (Asia Minor and the Black Sea mainly) and the west (Italy, Cicily, France, Spain, Portugal) prior to Alexander, by various Greek city states sates including Athens.
