The Islamized Greeks of Turkey

An interview at Protothema with Turkey born researcher Mert Kaya

My parents were born in Bitlis, a city in eastern Turkey, and moved to Smyrna in the late 1970s. I grew up with Turkish and Kurdish culture. I had no idea about my Greek origin. I was educated in classical Turkish history and under pressure of ethnocentric ideology. If you live and grow up in Smyrna, your enemy is the Greeks. They taught us that the Greeks invaded our lands and we had a war with them.
