This dispute is not worth a hill of beans. It is funny, though.

i appreciate your pun dean... but not really the sentiment. i didn't put this up because i found it funny. i thought it said a lot, not least that occupation doesn't always have to be obvious and neither need the way people choose to retaliate.

i just re read my comment. i hope i didn't sound too harsh dean. i didn't mean to, i just meant that sometimes i am serious.

wasn't it more just something they left behind after invading everyone?

There was no such place as Turkey until 1922, and Greece has only existed for a hundred years or so more than that. Call me old fashioned, but I think these things are important. Kebabs by the way are Chinese. Just sayin'.

i was counting the ottoman empire as being turkish... i should have been more specific. this project is already boring me.
