I didn't say that there were 920 greeks in turkey. I said that Anatolia had a Greek majority in the year 920 but not in the year 1920. I never said Greeks were everywhere. I said Greeks were in Anatolia, the southern Balkans and Southern Italy. That's it. And no, there are around 17 million greeks. The figure you mentioned (11 million) is just the amount of greeks in Greece itself. You didn't add the greeks of Cyprus, North Epirus or the diaspora. The only part of Anatolia that had a significant non greek population was Cicilia which had name Armenians who establiched a Middle Ages kingdom allied to the mongols. The Armenian homeland is east of Anatolia in the Armenian Highland. And there were 2 million greeks in the Ottoman Empire. This is the Ottoman Empire. I'm talking about the byzantine empire!!! You didn't rule Iceland. You raided them but not controlled them. The ottomans did have an island off the coast of Britain called Lundy island for afew years though.
