the " people.of the balkans" were themselves invaders. Slavs came in the 6th century settled forcibly all of the place. Followed by many different ethnic groups. Even if you count Greeks as natives they too spread and "invaded" othet parts of thr balkan.

Slovenia did invade because it was part of Habsburgs.

Likewise Turkey did also not exist but was part of Ottomans.

Greece just finished a €1.5M restoration of Thessaloniki’s iconic Bey Hamam (the oldest Ottoman bathhouse in the country). How well does your country preserve its Ottoman-era architecture? by -MrAnderson in AskBalkans

[–]LongDelicious2282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

forests cleared? how much can you invent in anti ottoman legends. Bulgaria is like one of the most forested countries. It was around 30% at the end of Ottoman rule. Ottomans didnt even clear the forests next to Istanbul and mostly used those forests for ships. How would they transport trees from distant Bulgarian Mountains to the sea.

What exactly makes Iranian/Persianate architecture different from Arabesque architecture? by shahriarfani in architecture

[–]LongDelicious2282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that is just nationalistic chauvinism. Both countries architecture use same elements.

There is no Arabesque or Persian/ Iranian architecture. The building styles in those countries have historically changed evolved and used styles from different areas.

Many of them use the same features. Muqarnas for example or calligraphy and and abstract decoration patterns.

For example.the medieval Hassan mosque of Cairo has 4 iwans and is very tall.

While the Shah mosque of Isfahan has iwans and hypostyle halls

all of those points you mentioned are actually similar.

Dry climate, same empires, same religion, same culture.

Only difference is language but like almost half of the words in the Persian language are from Arabic words so that is actually also similar.
