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. At first ; I knew you meant the year 920.. I just wanted you to guess the population of that year..

Also If we are counting population outside, Turkey goes much much up as we all know :P We talk the same language and deal well with most of turkic countries.

WE CONTROLLED ICELAND FOR THAT 27 DAYS ! IF YOU RAID AND WIN IT MEANS YOU OWN. But we turned back with slaves, and that 27 day ended.

as I said - maybe there were armenians,kurds,persians or else but no greeks
