This question has two parts.
The first asks why Turks hate themselves. The Turks are quite proud of the ancestry and their heritage. Many wave the Turkish flag proudly as a symbol of their unity and prosperity. So, since Turks do not hate themselves, there is no reason to say why they would do so.
The second is the Turkish-Greek Issue. The Turkish view is that it was the Turkish Empire, the Ottomans who brought civilization back to Greece. While it is true that the Greeks did have a wonderful civilization in the 500s-200s BCE, by the 1400s, Greece was a backwater. The Byzantine civilization was crippled, Venetians controlled parts of the Greek archipelago, and pirates predominated in the eastern Mediterranean. The Ottomans brought law, order, and justice to these new territories. They also permitted the Greeks to keep their faith, which was something the Greeks would not be willing to do in return. More recently, Turks are furious about the how the Greeks launched a holy war to liberate Greece, what else would you call it when Patriarchs bless flags and soldiers to fight in the name of the Church. There were numerous violent attacks throughout the Ottoman Empire and the Greek Revolt also led to independence movements throughout the Balkans leading to the destruction of an empire which had endured for nearly three centuries. Finally, Greeks still champion the manifest-destiny type Megali Idea which would see some of the most prized Turkish territory (like Istanbul) given over to non-Turks.
