Yesterday, I watched a greek movie called "Politiki Kouzina", I like it a lot.
It talks about historical relations with greeks and turks. The story tells this story from greek side. Unfortunately, many greek familly are forced to leave Istanbul (greeks call it, Constantinapolis ;) ), after the Turkish Republic founded. The same thing happened in greek side, lots of turks left Greece. The population exchange is made only by looking to the religion.
The exchange is made many times, 1924 and between 1950-1960. I think, Turkey lost a good human resource, it is a pitty. But this is politics : \
One month ago, I met with two greeks who had same situation at 1960's.
This situation is caused by political crisis happened because of Cyprus Island.
