Afghanistan, never a colony, nor colonized any country.

The area of Afghanistan was from time to time part of the Greco-Bactrian kingdom 3 cent BC-1 cent BC,ruled by Greek rulers.

Asia minor is 'Turkey' because large numbers of Turks settled there in the wake of military conquest. 
 
Well such an empty argument gcle2003!! So you are saying that France is a Frank colony, England is an Angle and Saxon colony, etc. Please make a research on when Turks came to Anatolia and when Angle and Saxons came to Britain? 500 years is not a long time as far as nations' history is concerned.
 
I think you have to revise your perception of history. Knowledge is not everything.
 
By the way, Turks of Turkey have never been colonised, but ruled and established great empires.
