According to star.gr, during a meeting they had with the President of the International Olympic Committee, Jacques Rogge, in London, both the Turkish President and Turkish Youth & Sports Minister, Saut Kilic, agreed that the Olympic flame comes from Turkey.
.........
Representatives of the Turkish government said that there is a mountain situated close to Anatalya, called Olympus, where the ground can be naturally light up due to the amount of methanium that exists in the area. According to an ancient myth, people used to light up the Olympic Torch in this place, commented Mr Erdogan.

Turkish Minister Suat Kilic stated during a press release, in a bid to convince officials of the International Olympic Committee that Turkey should host Olympics in the future, that ”Turkey is the birthplace of the Olympic flame and as a result, Mr Erdogan explained to Jacques Rogge that we want the Games back in our country. The IOC has the right to bring the Olympic flame back to its origin.”

According to Schliemann, the ancient city of Troi and countless other similar ruins are in western Turkey so what gives Greeks today the right to claim them as their ancient greats?

Helen of Troy was Turkish, and everything else found in western Turkey is Turkish and I wouldn’t be surprised if the ancient Olympics were held in Turkey.

I'd like to see you try to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that the inhabitants of ancient Troy are YOUR relatives!

Now that would be hysterical!

Troy doesn't need to have any correlation with the Olympics, but it just so happens to be yet another place Greeks are laying a claim to... yet funnily enough they don't regard Turks as "Greeks"!

Err... has anyone told Mad Dog Erdogan how many medals the Great Turkiye has achieved so far...? ... just asking of course.

Helen was supposedly a Spartan who ran off with the Trojan Paris: the Trojans were not Greek but probaby Wilusans. a confederation which had broken awaye from the hittte empire. the case for a trojan war is mostly set out in Myth.
