Asia Minor, or "Anatolia", is what the Ancient Greeks called the area which is now the country of Turkey.
The city of Troy was in Anatolia. The Greeks wanted to control the Persian Royal Road which was a 1,500 mile trade route into Persia.
I am sure, 99 percent of people would say no Greeks are 100 percent european and they hated middle easterners .i would say , the Greeks are near eastern. In the ancient times the Greeks colonized Western Anatolia. The Greek had cultural contacts with , Persia , Phoenicia and Egypt.I believe the Greeks are Mediterranean race.

Anatolia is not Turkish. No Turks have the right to live there. Anatolia belongs to the following communities that the Barbaric Turks tried to cleanse through the ages: Greeks, Armenians, Assyrians, Georgians and Kurds. As you can see the majority of Anatolian communities are Eastern Orthodox. The Barbaric Turks tried to cleanse these groups from Anatolia. They want tourist to visit Christian sites but won't allow Christians to worship there. Therefore, they don't respect basic human rights they should return to their homelands in Central Asia and leave Anatolia and Cyprus free.
