ANCIENT ARMENOIDS

‘’ The Realities of Modern Greece Modern Greece is not the direct continuation of ancient Greek civilization. It is an artificial buffer state created in the 19th century by the Great Powers (mainly Britain, Russia, and France) against the Ottoman Empire through political engineering. 1. Flag and Colors The blue color of the Greek flag comes from the first king, Otto, a Bavarian prince. The shade was chosen to reflect Bavarian blue. Some claim the striped design resembles the British East India Company flag. 2. Alphabet and Language The modern Greek alphabet and language were largely “revived” in the 19th century as part of nation-building. Ancient Greek had been a dead language for centuries, and the current form (Demotiki) was shaped artificially to create national identity. 3. National Heroes Many key heroes of the 1821 Greek War of Independence, such as Markos Botsaris and Theodoros Kolokotronis, were Arvanites — Orthodox Albanians. Their ethnic origin is largely Albanian, not ancient Greek. 4. Population and Ethnic Composition The people of modern Greece have no direct ethnic or genetic connection to the ancient Greeks. The population is a mix of Turks (especially Karamanlides from Anatolia), Albanians, Slavs, Macedonians, and other Balkan groups. 5. Artificial State Formation Greece was established in 1830 by the Great Powers as a buffer zone against the Ottomans. Its first king was a foreigner (Bavarian Otto), and the state was built according to foreign geopolitical interests rather than organic historical continuity. In summary: Modern Greece romantically claims ancient Hellenic heritage, but in reality it is a 19th-century construction — an ethnic mosaic of Albanians, Slavs, Christian Turks, and other Balkan peoples shaped by political engineering, not historical descent. ‘’
