3 nations have been expropriated...
Haga Sophia Church has been turned into a mosque, because Turks don't respect other religions...
Van antique Armenian church has become a ruin, because Turks want to erase the rich armenian past of Anatolia...
Kurdish children starving in the streets, as if it was Africa...
Can you explain ?

Yes,please let me explain to you.
Firstly you should put your prejudices aside to see the sole truth. I can see that prejudice from the city names you wrongly typed. There are no Constantinopolis or Smyrna anymore. You should see that.
About Hagia Sophia;the church turned into a mosque as a symbol of conquest. And now it is a museum. Turks give the temple the value it deserves. Unlikely to crusaders whom pillaged the church on 13th century (if my memory doesn't trick me). And the rest of the churches in Istanbul are still active. I can say that proudly as an Istanbul resident.
And it is the same in Anatolia. I lived till my 19 in middle Anatolia and you can see all the cultural heritage standing there.
Kurdish children are not starving in the streets. I can explain the situation a bit if i tell you my landlord is Kurdish and that i pay rent to her every month,that she has some houses and i don't.
But it must be hard to see these from a distance i guess. But to accuse a nation only considering things you heard or made up in your mind is very wrong.
Moreover, why don't you tell us why there aren't any mosques in Greece although Turks stayed on those lands for about 500 years? Or why doesn't anybody explain to me, why UN watched the massacre while serbians killed millions of innocent Bosnians?

Do you mean Constantinopolis? The name was converted to Turkish as Istanbul, which comes from Greek 'stin polis', meaing 'in the city'. I did not get your point with the other names. I can't see any connection with the others or get your point.
By the way, on my last visit to Turkey, I travelled east and that Armenian church has been restored and well preserved. It is open to visits. What are you trying to say here? I sense a feeling of hatred in your question.

Hagia Sophia is not a mosque. From the first sentence you started wrong. Please come back after some real research.
By the way: You are not real zigzag! you are just a clone.
