Anatolia
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.
Seljuk Turks conquered Anatolia after their success at the Battle of Manzikert in 1078 CE.

The Turks migrated from Central Asia to Anatolia, and later the Balkans. Armenians are native to Anatolia and were pushed into the Caucasus by the Turks. The Turks formed the Ottoman Empire, which took control of the Byzantine Empire and expanded into new land, which lasted for over 600 years, up until the end of WWI.

The Ottoman Turks were a tribe of Central Asian Türks who come from the area that is now Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. They crossed into Anatolia as warriors on horseback and delivered sound victories over the Byzantine Empire and the Seljuk Turks (another tribe in Anatolia with similar provenance). The Ottoman Empire grew through strategic alliances, modern military tactics, and novel inventions. They also pacified areas they controlled since they were relatively tolerant of different religions, ethnicities, and cultures.
No. Seljuks and Ottomans are from the same tribe (Oghuz tribe). When the Ottoman Turks came to Anatolia, it was the last years of Seljuk Empire.Ottomans helped Seljuks in their battle against Khwarazmids.After that, Seljuk sultan gave some land to Ottomans in Anatolia. Several years later, Seljuk Empire ended by invading Mongolians (soldiers of Genghis Khan)
The entire Byzantine Empire was conquered by Muslims at different points. The Rightly-Guided Caliphate and the Umayyad Caliphate conquered all of the Levant and North African areas under Byzantine control as well as southeast Anatolia. The Seljuk Turks conquered most of the rest of Anatolia. The Ottoman Turks conquered all of the remaining Byzantine territories (mostly the Balkans and Constantinople).
After the Battle of Manzikert in 1071, the Seljuk Turks conquered Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), establishing the Sultanate of Rum. They expanded their rule throughout the region, influencing the culture and politics of the area for centuries to come.
The first religion to become widespread across all parts of the upper Middle East (Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and the Levant) was the Persian Zoroastrian religion. Islam was the first religion to dominate every single part of the Middle East including Arabia.
