It is interesting that this appears to be one of the many Greek cities in Anatolia. So a Muslim is willing to look at non-Islamic society? The Turks like to refer to such cities as "Roman" because it obscures the Greek origins.

They also use Ionians this and Ionians that—forgetting to add Greek at the end.
They are really contemptuous in their collective pathological amnesia.

The Turks have a pathological fear that if they admit the origins of the things around them they will then be forced to give those areas up. Remember, Turkey is at the tail end of a very long decline.
