Talk:Greece
20th Century Section - Totally Onesided
The section's war in Asia Minor section is not logical as the invasion force was Greek yet allegedly genocide was aslo Greek one assuming the local polulation was Greek. So no Turks died, no Turks lived on Asia Minor etc. etc.. I hear Greeks or Armenias or British talking; the west Turkey is Greek, the East is Armenian, the south Kurdish, the North Laz, Chaush, Russian, well who fought the Greko-turkish war and win?' Who founded Turkish Republic?' Aliens? People always talk like no one is living here everyone is Greek or Armenian or Kurd, so who was the enemy then? a bunch of muslims? LOGIC please, be objective.' --195.87.42.210 (talk) 15:10, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

There are WAY to many photos in this article
Greece is a photogenic place, but this is just ridiculous. Athenean (talk) 05:28, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, a general cleanup is needed. Although I did it several times in the past, it appears that various ips tend to add their favorite pics here and there.Alexikoua (talk) 07:22, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
- I've chopped a few photos that I think can be spared from the article. Feedback welcome. Dolescum (talk) 08:01, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

During Ottoman rule before 1912, Greeks constituted a minority in the region of Western Thrace.[1] After the Balkan Wars and World War I the demography of the region was changed. While groups such as the Turks and Bulgarians decreased, the Greek population increased by the resettlement of ten thousands of Greek refugees from other areas of the Ottoman Empire, after the flight of the Greek refugees from Asia Minor, as a result of the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) and the subsequent population exchange between Greece and Turkey.[2] Of all Greek Asia Minor refugees (578,824 individuals), 31% of them were resettled in Western Thrace.[3] The Greek government's reason to settle the refugees in this region was to strengthen the Greek presence in the newly acquired provinces and the homogenization of the population.[3] The Greek government especially resettled the refugees in Komotini, Xanthi and Sapes regions where the majority of Muslim Turks lived.[3]

"Greek Orthodox Church" and "Eastern Orthodoxy" in Infobox
Some users around there have repeatedly mistaken the Institution (Greek Orthodox Church) for being a religion by itself, which is not true and invalid. In the Infobox, the 'Religion' section is about the religion, not institutions serving that religion. So, the proper could be "Eastern Orthodoxy". Unless I am missing something, I could very much ask the users to not confuse the religious institutions with the religions these institutions are serving. --SilentResident (talk) 17:37, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
