Turks have settled in Anatolia for 10 centuries (after the battle of Manzikert).
So basically 1000 years, a bit less. Constantionople was conquered 1453, 550 years.
How long must a people live in a land for it to be its land? If after 1000 years you consider it is not their own...Sumerian or Hittite could clame that Greeks colonized Anatolia and that they have nothing to do.
With you're "logic", kurds must evacuate most of the land they own, because they expanded a lot in their history. URFA was a greek city. Back to Greece?
Alexandria was founded by Alexander, so you're going to tell arabs that they have nothing to do here? ALL EGYPT was part of the Seleukian empire founded by makedonian Seleukos. So is Egypt Greek (or macedonian

).
and these are FACTS as you say...
For greece, what remains of former population? Acheans, Mycenians and Dorians invasions stole their lands

and these bastard colonized minor asia, and they destroy the city of Troy...IMPERIALISTS!
They colonized Scicilia, and the south coast of "France". As a french I hate greek colonizators
And oh, Galates colonized a part of Anatolia in 310 BC and beat the greeks! Being a celt, I could ask a part of anatolia for my people as well.
