> common heritage of Turkish and Greek people. What common heritage are you speaking of? Edit: Who knew such benign question would trigger so many. I guess foreigners have a different understanding of what heritage means. Heritage doesn't mean being conquered and/or exchanging words, food, building, etc. Heritage implies "descent". Just because you eat sushi doesn't mean you and a japanese person have a common herita…

They lived in close proximity for a good part of a millennium. Do you think they haven't influenced each other?

Maybe so but they are entirely different countries currently in the things that matter.

There is no solution without ending the war, and there's no solution to that without addressing the forces keeping it going. It's like many of the Cold War conflicts, a proxy for wars not being fought with Russia.

> They don't want to Any idea why?

They don’t feel like throwing money around? They don’t feel like increasing the levels of insecurity? Just two examples.

And? That doesn't imply common heritage.

That doesn't imply common heritage.

Also if you talking about the ottoman empire. isn't the greek position that the ottoman empire was bad for them and hence why they sought independence?

Or are you saying that greece should rejoin the ottoman empire and embrace the "common heritage"?

Different countries ... with a common heritage.

After spending the last year reading about constant warmongering and provocations against my country, with military units on combat alert even on holidays, I only have to say democracy should be reinstated in Turkey and I hope the circumstances can not detriment the friendship and common heritage of Turkish and Greek people.

Turks are in large part the descendants of Greeks that were forcefully converted maybe?

I’m living in Turkey and it’s really ironic that I can’t even access this article. That is the extent of these censorships.

Is there any chance Erdogan will be democratically ousted?

If you can tolerate a police baton up your anus, hold a rally. :) (I'm referring to human rights reports from 2016, which stated that detainees after the failed coup were sodomized by the police)
