So, today there are 60,000 ethnic Greek Muslims in Greece. Wow. Great. In 50 years 60,000. Keep up the good work neighbors!!! Who knows, may be one day all of the Greeks would convert to Islam. Then we can re-unite our two countries to form a small version of Neo- Ottoman empire!!! ;D

In Balkans, most Balkan Turks and Muslims emigrated to Turkey or moved to other European countries due to the oppression of the local authorities. In general, the number of Turks in Europe increases steadily. In Caucasus, the Meskhetian Turks were deported to Central Asia by Stalin during the WWII. Some 300.000 of them still live in Central Asian Turkic Republics, and some 50.000 of them live in Turkey. However, Georgia officially agreed to repatriate all of them until 2011.

There was never such a strong Turkish presence in Kosova. Serbian authorities always registered a quantative number of Albanian people, against their will, as "Turks" with the purpose of justifying an eventual expulsion of such "Turks" to Turkey and replace them with Serbian colonists. This had an effect in the 1920s, 1930s but also as late as the 1950s & 1960s. The 'ethnic cleansing' of any eventual real Turk that might have been included in this mainly Albanian exodus would thus have been conducted by the Serbs themselves.
P:s what's the point of these figures? You feel amused by ethnic cleansings and crimes against civilians ... yet immediately switch to crocodile tears when the issue concerns Armenians being exposed to Turkish brutality?

From what time periods do you compare the two numbers? Romania lost a lot of land which was inhabited by Turks and Tatars. If the figures are taken from the time when we possessed those lands, the statistics would be inaccurate.
