I know America has a bad history of racism and everything but it seems like turkey has an even worse history of being violent toward people who aren't turks, including but not limited to:
•Albanians
•Bulgarians
•Kurds
•Greeks
•Assyrians
•Arabs
•Armenians
•Korean tourists in Istanbul on the wrong day

You forgot Georgians and Persians too!
Though admittedly, everybody dislikes the Albanians so I wouldn't be too hard on the Turks for that.

Edit: Noticing, now, that Vistulange, who happens to be my regionmate, has posted and is actually Turkish himself, I must confess that this is "the briefest possible history of Anatolia" and a labour of an informal understanding based on a history of casual, and certainly non-university-grade research which may indeed be incomplete, grossly oversimplifying, or indeed outright wrong in places; and I would welcome any insight he'd offer to respond with, previous disagreement between us set aside and irrelevant to the matter at hand.
