It would’ve been a real tragedy if the world lost the Greek Language under Ottoman rule.
I wonder who protect orthodox’s against catholic polish and Hungarians.
In 1656, Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch Macarios III Zaim lamented over the atrocities committed by the Polish Catholics against followers of Eastern Orthodoxy in various parts of Ukraine. Macarios was quoted as stating that seventeen or eighteen thousand followers of Eastern Orthodoxy were killed under hands of the Catholics, and that he desired Ottoman sovereignty over Catholic subjugation, stating:
” God perpetuate the empire of the Turks for ever and ever! For they take their impost, and enter no account of religion, be their subjects Christians or Nazarenes, Jews or Samaritians; whereas these accursed Poles were not content with taxes and tithes from the brethren of Christ…”
Ottomans didn’t try to assimilate the people they conquered at all, why would the language need to be “saved”?
Lmao no the ottomans never got rid of Greeks because they were tolerant only until the 19th century it was decided that Turks evil grrr even though the rest of the world was making atrocities in Africa and racism in America and so after the ottomans fell the rest of the world still was racist only around after ww2 racism in the west was really gone while Turkey was chilling without any racism.
Well this is a poor propaganda.
Greek people as other ethnic groups in the empire lived freely in the Ottoman Empire.
The Ottomans never imposed religion or language on their subjects.
