Yes, because Ukrainians are going to put up with ANOTHER Moskali takeover...
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

I am not even Greek or Armenian, but rather a student of Byzantine history, and it is very hard for me to see Constantinople and Smyrna and such virtually purged of their Graeco-Roman history.

Oh, but Arilandon says the lands should just be given back, no need to get all invasiony. Or the Turks could allow the descendants of minorities to return and become part of the wonderfulness that is Turkey.

Turk alert!
There is of course one huge difference in all of this. Things change of course, but looking away from the fact that Greeks and Armenians lived in that regions for eons before there ever was a Turk in those parts.
There is the simple fact, that they killed and displaced a huge amount of people to get those lands. And they never had to be held accountable for those actions, and now its ancient history. It’s a very stupid logic, by those standers all Israel have to, is keep the land they took for a long time. Then it will be alright. Seeing how it will be ancient history and all.
There are no people to claim the land back because so many of them died. That is why Turkey is stronger and has a far bigger population.

500 000 to 1.5 million people dead.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_genocide
300 000 to 360 000 people dead.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyrian_Genocide
270 000 to 750 000 people dead.
And we could also add this fun event.

13 000 -70 000 Kurdish people killed
Turkey is built open blood and suffering. But it’s really swell that it’s secular and all. I am sure that is big comfort to the dead.
