The noble blood you spited on for the idea of an orthodox ottoman millet to become the parasites of the ancient hellenic civillization
"The Albanian population occupies most of ancient Greece. Albanians now occupy all Attica and Megaris, Boetia and Locris. They occupy the whole of Corinthia and Argolis, extending themselves into the northern part of Ardadia and eastern Archaia."

POLITICS IN MODERN GREECE
By Keith R. Legg
Page 86:
LANGUAGE
"The term "Greek" differentiates the language spoken by inhabitants of modern Greece from the langauge of the surrounding countries; but there is disagreement on what the Greek langauge was, is, or should be. At the time of independence, the range in local dialects was insignificant; substantial portions of the population spoke Albanian"

FRAGMENTS OF DEATH FABLES OF IDENTITY.
An Athenian Anthropography

"The Arvanites were already inhabiting Athens when the city became the capital of Greece in 1834. By that time the Arvanites had intermarried with the newcomers of Athens, and they continued to intermarry even afterward....Eventually they, like the Vlachs, ceased to be counted as a separate ethnic group - All this leads us to the pestering question of identity"

VENIZELOS (Famous Greek Statesman - Prime Minister: 1910-1920, 1932)
By Herbert Adams Gibbons, Ph.D
HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY - 1920
[At The Peace Conferance]
Page 346:
"...Venizelos advanced the famous theory of national consciousness as the test of nationality..."One may be temped", he said, "to raise the objection that a substantial portion of the Greek population uses ALBANIAN as its mother tongue, and is, consequently, in all probability, of Albanian orgin.."
"It may be useful to add that the present vice-president of Greek Ministerial Council, Mr Repoulis; the commander-in-chief of the Greek army, General Danglis; the commander-in-chief of the Naval forces and Minister of Marine, Admiral Koundouriotis; and the majority of the crews of the Greek navy, speak ALBANIAN as their mother tongue"

“The rich Hydriote ship-owner, Conduriottis, held the title of President of Greece. He was an Albanian, unable to speak Greek. And so the leaders of both armies in the war came, as did many of the fighting men, from that violent illiterate race who had not yet learned to prefer nationalism to other loyalties”

Modern Greece A Short History
C.M. Woodhouse - British MP and servant of Greece during the war.
Page 163
“Greece included considerably fewer than half of those who regarded themselves as Greeks by virtue of their language,their religion, and (less plausibly) their race - It is a striking fact that the leading defenders of Greek liberty at this time were largely Non-Greek. Koundouriotis was decended from the Albanian invadors of Greece in the 14th century,and spoke Greek only with difficulty. His principal colleague was John Kolettis, a Vlach who had been Ali Pasha's court doctor at Ioannina”

Lord Byron - The British lover of Greece.
“..On 15 May 1824, an obituary notice in The Times declared that 'the whole of Lord Byron's latter days' had been given to 'the noblest of enterprises, the deliverance of Greece'. This was a warmer view of the deceased and teh cause he served than was customary with the British press, including The Times itself, by 1824. It became generally believed, nevertheless, that the poet had died, if not exactly a hero, at least a man of action and, in the following years, the most popular portrait of Byron was undoubtedly the one painted by Thomas Phillips, which shows him in Albanian garb and which today hangs in the British embassy in Athens.”
Really interesting outfit.
Anyhow, we go on, according to William ST. Clair the author of “That Greece Might Still Be Free”
Oxford University Press – 1972 I quote:
Modern Greece was a western European invention to counter the influence of Russia in the Balkans. The independence of Greece was heavily influenced by the bravery of the Albanian population living in Greece.
Thanks to Lord Byron maybe that invention was put to practice, and thanks to the Albanians the war for it to succeed was waged. Nice example of Western manipulation I must say..
Further, according to:
"Modern Greece A Short History"
C.M. Woodhouse - British MP and servant of Greece during the war.
“Greece included considerably fewer than half of those who regarded themselves as Greeks by virtue of their language,their religion, and (less plausibly) their race - It is a striking fact that the leading defenders of Greek liberty at this time were largely Non-Greek.

“.. The Albanians formed and still form, almost the whole of the population of Attica; and within three leagues of the capital, villages are to be found where Greek is hardly understood"
So if this people are indeed Albanians, and according to some science papers:

"...Next to them in this respect are the modern Greeks, who, for the most part , are of Sclavonian orgin, and, where they are not purely Sclavonian, are a cross-breed in which the Sclavonian enters very largely"
or...
"...It would be amazing if the people who are now called Greeks are of the physical types as what are styled Ancient Greeks, which generally means the inhabitants of Athens and Sparta. The Greeks have spread around the Aegean and Black Seas, and come into contact with the inhabitants of the littoral. The Macedonian Empire must have had a large non-Hellenic substratum. Constantinople and all Continental Greece were for centuries ruled by Romans, and during many subsequent centuries invaded and colonized by Slavs. The Crusades and Latin conquests brought a large influx of western Europeans, commonly called Franks; and in later times, extensive Albanian settlements were made in Greek districts. Clearly the Modern Greek must be of very mixed blood."
and papers dating back not so long ago..

Pages 41 and 42
“Most of the old Greek race has been swept away, and the country is now inhabited by persons of Slavonic descent. Indeed there is a strong ground for the statement that there was more of the heroic blood of Hellas in the Turkish army of Edhem Pasha than in the soldiers of King George.”
The most of the old greek race has been swept away...
Page 42
“The Modern Greek has been called a ‘Byzantine Slav.’ King George himself and Constantine his son are only aliens placed on the Grecian throne to suit the convenience of outer powers, being in fact descendants of tribes which to the ancient Greeks were merely Barbarians.”
And on top of all that you have even your prime minister declaring in 1915 that:
"...Venizelos advanced the famous theory of national consciousness as the test of nationality..."One may be temped", he said, "to raise the objection that a substantial portion of the Greek population uses ALBANIAN as its mother tongue, and is, consequently, in all probability, of Albanian orgin.."
"It may be useful to add that the present vice-president of Greek Ministerial Council, Mr Repoulis; the commander-in-chief of the Greek army, General Danglis; the commander-in-chief of the Naval forces and Minister of Marine, Admiral Koundouriotis; and the majority of the crews of the Greek navy, speak ALBANIAN as their mother tongue"
