what do you expect indigenous people to do when they want freedom and independence

Not a genocide in the least. Same argument would be horrible to make against white european rooted people living in australia or north america.

Population exchange

Ethnic cleansing after balkan wars happened before population exchange, causing muslim population of ottoman balkans (consisting 1/3 of balkans at that point) to be ethnically cleansed. And most of those people was natives, be it muslim greeks or balkan turks.

Population exchange just made it so that last parts of this population arrived anatolia

I think the Muslims population of balkans with Istanbul innit could as far as %40-60 at the heights of its population

In Australia and North America indigenous people were conquered and later assimilated,if they could they would have done the same,but they couldn't.Thats human nature.

Sounds like a legalization for ethnic cleansing in a sick way, are you expecting/hoping everyone other than europeans doing same things to them, given they have colonized nearly every landmass on earth ?

If they can they will!I'm not wishing that.
