Should Turkey abondon their country

[Thai-Samurai]

This is the Poll Question:

Should Turkey give up being Turkey? Then donate everything they own to Mongolia? And then divide up Turkey like this.

Western 1/3 of Turkey go to Italy.
Middle 1/3 go to Greeks.
Eastern 1/3 go to Armenians.

I think its kind of absurd to suggest it, but makes me smile. hehehhe

I'll bet this plan could work out perfectly. Since of course there will still be Turkish people living there, we can create a Quad-Party Empire.

The Italians will govern their 1/3, and so will the Greeks and the Armenians.
The Turks living in whatever area will look up to their appropriate gov't for help and support and also pay taxes to them. However the money has to stay in Turkey, and used there.
If any big issues arise, then the 3 gov'ts will meet, w/ proper representation from the Turks, and decesions will be made this way.

Is there really a point to all of this?...and secondly - Thai-Samurai - I hope you don't mind that I ask - but don't you like girls? When I was your age most all of my fantasies revolved around more attainable and more imediatly sensory and enjoyable pursuits...not such utterly pie in the sky things...and just why are you allocating parts of Anatolia to Italy anyway? - in hopes of improving the winemaking? ....and as usual - of course...the Kurds are left out of it.... ...anyway - whatever gets you off...

What Armenians call historic Armenia the Kurds refer to as Kurdistan.

Because it was New Rome that the Turks took away. Rome is the essence of Europe. At first, Rome tried to keep the Europeans out, but then, then, Rome protected and nurtured the Europeans. And the Turks took it all way. I think the western 1/3 of Turkey should go to Italy.

Actually this seems better. Upper/western third goes to Italy.
Lower/wester goes to Greece. And the eastern goes to Armenia.

yeah so - tell us something we didn't know. It amazes me that you aparently think your rather pedestrian observations are something profound...dunnoh really - OK - good Mouse - thank you - we appreciate that you've been thinking hard on the matter and you should be proud that you are able to contribute...that a boy...Ok run along now...

Having been to most all of Anatolia I have to say that the Southeast region that the Kurds claim (that somewhat overlaps traditional Armenian inhabited areas) is not what I would term one of the "garden spots" of Anatolia. Sure - no one can deny the Armenian presence in the Van region - including Van, Bitlis and thereabouts - and Ararat of course - and it would be wonderful to once again see these areas inhabited by Armenians and fertile once again - but go just a bit South and somewhat West from there and well - they can keep it I think.

And again - give the Italians Western Anatolia?!?!?!?! What! - Istanbul (Constantinople) , Izmir (Smyrna), and all down along the Agaean and Med coasts! You've got to be nuts! - give the Italians Sicily...most of this area was more Greek then anything else anyway. And to me - Anatolia without the pristine beaches and such is hardly worth it at all! Its basically one big dustbowl with a few rocky crags thrown in...So why set our sights to just the traditional (out of the way) areas - there are tourist dollars to be made and great pristine coves and beaches all within easy reach! - I mean why give it to the Italians or such - as if they are going to help liberate it in any way besides - at least we can count on the Greek's support! (all j/k BTW....in case you were worried...)

There were very few Italians in this "new Rome" - they were mostly all Greeks. But perhaps we should give it to the Chinese since they invented pasta.

No you're getting too far ahead. The Chinese are next. We need to give California to the Chinese since they discovered it first.
