Zagros' definition was "Well I take colonising to mean making settlements in territories acquired (by whatever means)."
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.
