    Ok guys.

    If Turkey was to be partitioned as a result of direct war with Russia, how would thaat partition look like?

    Visual representation via map would be appreciated. I can't make my own maps but my ideas are:
    1. Hatay province goes to Syria
    3. Kurdish majority areas go to PKK.
    3. Armenia takes a small part of Turkey together with Ararat... I can't say how much
    4. Greece takes something too - but can't say how much
    5. Can't say what happens to IStanbul.

    Greece takes Eastern Thrace with Istanbul, West minor asia (smyrna region) All these areas that there was greek civilization from Byzantine era. And occupied Cyprus of course.

    Probably something like Treaty of Serves version 2.

    Ataturk expelled all Greeks out of Turkey long ago... so I dunno whether the Hellenic state can easily claim some land in Asia Minor.

    at the same logic he expelled all Armenians from their traditional lands and then Turkey all Syrians from Hatay province.

    Russia takes Istanbul, along with the Bosphorus Strait.

    Yes but it would be difficult to keep it forever. West/USA will never accept this. There would probably be a "middle" solution.

    Greece is the EU's weak link. Renege Istanbul to Athens = continued improvement of relations with Russia due to economic gains on Greece's behalf and strong play of the "Orthodox reunion card."

    Is it even possible to attack Turkey from Greece?

    The terrain of East Thrace is extremely hostile to large troop concentration - i makes very good defensive positions so if Turks invaded Greece, they would be in very difficult situation - but it also makes invading other countries hard.

    The only place where you can amass troops is a ~1000km2 plain near the Greco--Turkish border on which Greece would have to amass 100k troops and supply them via just one road.... moreover the first thing they would have to do is crossing a river between 100 and 300m wide depending on the place.

    Τhe only thing for sure that i can say is that Greece (although a EE and NATO member) will stay neutral in any war between foreign countries. We have never participate in a coalition campaign with combat troops and we will never do it

    We also advocate Greek sovereignty over the Cyprus, added Putin, and call the Turkish regime to end its decades-long occupation of this Mediterranean island.

    The treaty of Sèvres gets my vote...

    Remains the question; what to do with the Turkish Islamic population?

    Turkey will never partitied.

    And if so, not a single of the 100 million Turks will accept it to live under a colonial power/occupying force.

    Turks are not Arabs. They are the grandkids of Atilla the Hun.

    I dont think so, when you google Hunnic empire, Anatolia is never in its boundaries. Besudes, the Arab muhammedans successfully enslaved your people by converting them to Izlam and continues to do so up to now, so until the day Turks begin to adopt their own indigenous religion, Turks will always be viewed as lesser than their Izlamic Arab masters.

    Like I said, Turkey will not fall.

    The whole world saw this yesterday.
