      The Turks did it to the Armenians and Greeks in World War I

    This is impressive, as usual! Thanks for making these videos! By the way, I am not sure if you heard about it, but a new Indo-European language has been discovered very recently: the Kalašma language!
    Experts classify it as a Luwic language inside the Anatolian branch, but considering the location in which it was first attested, I am afraid that it may be a relative of the Palaic language! Or maybe the Kaskians didn't wipe out the population of Pala after all and Palaic language evolved into Kalašma language... 🤔

      Turks are not native to Anatolia, "Anatolian Turks" are genetically close Azeris and Mesopotamians and no actual anatolian neolithic farmers. The closest related groups to ancient Anatolians are the Sardinians followed Sicilians,cretans,cypriots and Greek islanders. Turks dont even clust toghether to the groups you mentioned, Also the Greeks were desedants of anatolian people prior to the bronze age collapse when the Greek language developed, so how can anatolians not being Greek when Greeks were anatolians as well (Doric people are a questionable exception)?
      Also Phyrgians were descedants of Thracian colonizers located to modern day North Macedonia and had a lot of more steppe ancestry than Greeks, but you dont mention that to Turkish propaganda i guess.

    In the 16th century, the Anatolian Turkish ethnogenesis was completed in Anatolia and ethnically it was the same as it is today.
    You also make it seem like the coastal regions were Turkified very late. however, ethnogenesis was completed there earlier than in the interior regions. So around the 14th century. We have samples of Turks from the "Teke" region, which carry the genetic structure of today's Anatolian Turks.
    There are regions in Central Anatolia where Kurds have come since the 16th century. And in those regions (around the south of Ankara and the north of Konya) the Kurdish presence may be considerable.

      Bro, the Oghuz masses migrating to Anatolia mix with the Rums (Anatolian Greeks) and from this mixture the ethnogenesis of the Anatolian Turks occurs. In order for the genetic structure of the Turks to be completed (as I said, this was completed in the 16th century), there should be no Rum population superiority other than this mixture. However, in your explanation, it seems that regions with a solid Medieval Turkic genetic heritage, such as the Ege and the Akdeniz, had a Rum majority until the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. It is as if Turks are the minority and Rums are the majority. And this is utterly ridiculous.
      I do not claim that the Oghuzs came to Anatolia and suddenly established population superiority. They gradually arrived with a very large population and mixed with the natives, forming a new ethnic group. And nearly 500 years have passed since this process was completed. The exception to this situation is the minorities who have not changed their religion and have not experienced genetic mixing with the Oghuzs. However, these minorities were not superior in terms of population in general or regionally, as the name suggests.

As for Corum, there are not even Kurds there. No one can find me a place where Kurdish is spoken in Corum. My friend,Kurdish population is scattered all over Turkey and even in North Cyprus so these maps are often inaccurate. For example, the region you marked in southern Ankara is a desert and very few Kurds live, but there are 1 million Kurds in Antalya and Izmir. You know what I mean?

The Seljuk Turks conquered these lands with the sword, most of the local population became Muslims and became Turks, and the non-Muslims were sent back to Greece in 1924 with the exchange agreement between Turkey and Greece.

    PS : I think Galatians were a bit more extended, and a bit more southern, but that's just a detail, and I am even not certain of my affirmation ^^
    I still think than Trojan war was closely related to the end of Hittites and to Sea Peoples. I'm fascinated by history of antiquity before 1000BC. And I regret than actual historians use only archeologist fantasy names (bell baker, yamna, etc) instead of ethnic names wrote by ancient historians. Actuals consider those writings as false and crappy, but they're wrong.
    After all, it was, under mock of his colleagues, by using ancient historians writings than a guy discovered the ruins of Troy.
