Unfortunately, some people are too narow minded to accept the truth and write the history as it is. I agree with you. Petros The Greek 16:22, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

The Turkish Independence War started on May 19, 1919, when Mustafa Kemal reached Samsun. I don't understand what you mean Petros. Are the Turks (including me) narrow minded? For what reason? Deniz^T_C 15:49, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
