Modern day Turks are an amalgam of the original Turkish invaders with the indigenous civilizations of Anatolia. Modern Turks bear little resemblance to their forebearers who were of very Mongolian appearance. They are quite conscious of the value of their entire heritage, including Greek, Lydian, Phrygian, Hittite, and Armenian origins, as well as their Turkish origins. They have strong program for preserving important Christian historical sites including archelogical remains in Armenia and Cappadochia.
Turks really are part of the modern world with a very modern outlook.

A strong program for preserving Christian sites? What are you hallucinating on? Most non Muslim places of worship and other important non Turkish non Muslim sites have been destroyed/vandalized by Turks. Aghia Sophia was turned into a mosque and then the secular bin laden Ataturk turned it into a museum after whitewashing all the religious icons. Most churches were destroyed.
Turkey is a renegade nation and continuing to deny the genocides against Christians will not get them very far...except possibly with the easily duped like yourselves.
