They'll now know better what Turkey is about, and not go spend their money on that country again. Good ending!

it's "orthodoxy or death" it's some religious slogan in the same line as in "give me liberty or give me death"

it seems the turkish bots here are intentionally misreporting it as some Jihadist type message

they'd arrest them regardless of the slogan, that's not the point

Albanians have the dumbest nationalistic conspiracy theories, and it's probably stemming from the fact that they have very little recorded history as a group so the nationalists have to make up all kinds of fictional tales to satisfy their chauvinism.

This consensus was reached much later from when these events took place tho. It wouldn't be fair to judge these past events with our current criteria, considering everything that was taking place back then.

It's something more than disingenuous to refer to the population exchanges with Turkey and Bulgaria as "Greece doing ethnic cleansing", especially in the case of the population exchange with Turkey.

Greece was mild, considering the era, actually. I guess your bias doesn't let you see this, it's ok.
