Rumlar • Romans | A Greek Dance Tribute 🇬🇷 (Ρωμιοί)

Rumlar! The Romans, as being called in Turkish language, are the Greek descendants of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine) who most of them are in Turkey. The Orthodox Christian citizens of modern Turkey or in other words the pre-Islamic ethnocultural Christian minorities have a rich culture that dates centuries and centuries ago. I'm here to present a dance tribute with popular folk songs and dances from Greeks from Cappadocia, Pontus, East Thrace, Constantinopole (Propontis region), Cyprus, Bithynia and Ionia. All historical regions of modern Turkey. All being traces of the multiethnic monocultural Eastern Roman Empire. Enjoy!

Viewing this video of yours was a journey in time and place through dance, music and information. You perform just beautifully Vasilís, and one can only imagine how much time and effort it takes to create such a video like this, and lots of editing. 😉 Well done! It's quite emotionally disturbing to think of all the cruelty that still haunts this world, and the part of the story that you tell is heartbreaking. Even if I knew about it before watching your video. Each time that I think about certain parts of the world history it really saddens me deeply. There's been so much suffering and cultural loss. One should wish that people at some point would learn from the past to prevent bad things from repeting itself in the future. What happened back then a hundered years ago to the Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians can't be justified in any aspect. It seems that certain political leaders should never have been born. Love from Norway ❤️

Mr. Boussakis I can understand your feelings but you can’t say it is empty neither figuratively nor literally. Actually in Şişli you can even walk without crush somebody else.

que maravillosa forma de rendir homenaje a las culturas ricas y perseverantes que han aportado tanto a la humanidad, el baile es la mejor forma de mantener a una cultura viva y exponer el arte de las personas que la integran. que terrible que estos amos del mundo quieran destruir con su imposición religiosa y con sus destructivos organismos internacionales los logros de pueblos que siempre vivieron en armonía con su entorno y buscaron por medio de la razón y el comercio la convivencia con su prójimo, eso es la esencia del Helenismo. Me encanto la forma en que bailas y lo valioso de la producción de este vídeo educativo que muestra que las imposiciones y la sumisión solo causan sufrimiento. Aquí en Perú un antiguo general llamado Marin dijo estas sabias palabras: Las ideas se exponen, no se imponen.

@@albanianorthodox8781 Arvanites aren't Albanians though, they're Greeks

[@albanianorthodox8781]

@@manygor2687 Arvanite is a medieval greek term for Albanians derived of the city of Arban. In their own language their language is called Arberesh, which is the term used by the Arbereshe speaking peoples in Italy who do have a strong tie to Albania. It is also the medieval Albanian term for Albanians themselves. Anyways the term Arvanite in modern terms It actually does not refer to the Arvanite speaking villages around Attica and Morea but all Albanian speaking Orthodox peoples. It was a term to distinguish them from another group of Albanians that the Greeks called Tourko-Alvanos (Muslim Albanians) this was a consciquence of the millet system i would say. Through the millet system the Albanian nation was divided into multiple millets. however whats interesting about Orthodox Albanians is that they formed the biggest groups of known Albanian nationalists during the rebirth of Albanian nationalism (Rilindja Kombetare). The Arvanites in the 19th century used a term for Greek speakers which is similar to the gheg term of Slavic speakers which is Shkija or Shkau meaning outsiders. The Arvanites during the 19th and 20th century also advocated heavily for what they called a ‘’Greek liberation of Albania’’ and an Greco-Albanian confederation. The thing is at this point they have a Greek national consciousness especially due to the eventual homogenenization of the Greek state which incorperated Slavs and Vlachs as well into the nation. Although historically they always had a tie with other Albanians and atm you still cannot deny the linguistic connection between the two dialects. To answer you in short it is much more complicated on what their ethnicity is. It is ridiculous to believe that their language is somewhat of a ‘’Doric Greek language’’ that some may like to claim. I can clearly understand their songs.

Thank you for this emotional and amazing dance tribute! I know that what you do can be hard, especially when people make rude and negative inconsiderate and condescending comments at times… If I may just say I really appreciate all your dance videos and how you strive to make a more peaceful world through sharing dance. I believe in what I can’t describe any other way except radical peace. I believe learning about, embracing, and celebrating the beautiful diversity of our eastern Mediterranean homeland is the only thing that will bring prosperity and a better future. We must look at and remember the horrors of the past and say “enough! No more! Never again!” “A house divided cannot stand.” Haters gonna hate. I’d rather just dance and eat all the delicious food and have fun with my whole eastern Mediterranean friends and family instead. Thanks again for the video.

I mean real history and not fake as a lot of countries do, with propaganda, remake of history as their gusto, pressure, abuse of religion, fanaticism. So much pain in almost every song from Asia Minor including Pontos. The Turks think that denying genocides make them free of their responsibility to their history. But it is not the case, the Greeks, Armenians and Assyrians descendants will continue to remember until justice prevails

In my view(and language),war begins with 2 words: "I want." Unless God and/or Science figures out how to distill greed and acquisitiveness from human nature,and throw it out, there will be dissention, somewhere,some time,small scale to large. And, at the risk of sounding flippant, there have been times I've felt frustrated and have thought that a solution would be to give everybody on earth a frontal lobotomy of the brain.. yes we'd have peace, however, the problem with that would be an apathetic, colorless world where nothing would get done. We can choose to laugh or cry about this man-made mess. Any way we choose to react, we can still be ambassadors of peace by doing what we love and bringing it to others like what Vasilis does here.

I read what you've explained. It's your (Greek) side of point view. Turkish independence war in 1920s was against ww1 occupational forces and Ottoman empire. We would like to be indépendent, developed country. And today, a vise turkish citizen do not accept any kinds of ignorance, occupation etc. I know, in Turkey there are a lot of antidemocratic régulations right now and it affect turkey's image in international areas . But soon we will be more and more developped...

[@VasilisDance]

Thanks for watching. Your sentences have some gaps, though. Independence from whom? Natives? Not talking about Italy or France. Occupation, also? Turkey was founded in 1923, so in 1919 for example, there was the Ottoman Empire, not Republic of Turkey. "Independence War" or a nationalist movement that eliminated native Christian populations? Food for thought. Each nations desire to be independent is applauded. But eliminating or deporting native people for that cause, is a crime. Also, there's not "a Greek point of view" to every thing I mentioned. The Greek genocide, the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, the Aegean crisis, vandalism of Orthodox temples etc. are not "a point of view", but a reality. If one claims to be humanitarian and developed, he should refrain from calling realities as "points of view". Thanks again.

[@elmaarmut8918]

@@VasilisDance Greek and Turkish way of percieving history are different from each other. That's why i called point of view. In 1920s Greece was also inside of occupational forces. Ottoman empire also supported the WW1 forces to sustain its' reign. So we, the Anatolian people fought against ottomans, ww1 forces (including Greece). It's like révolution. After that there was an agreement signed between Greece and Turkey "population exchange" In these agreement Turks in today's Greece also moved away from their land. According to your saying Greeks also made crime by taking independence in 1821 from people that have lived with. . We dont like when we were portraited as anti-christians who hates everybody rather than Turks. Because it's not correct. Most of the Turks get this in offensive way. İ just want to share it.

[@VasilisDance]

@@elmaarmut8918 I appreciate it and I'm not presenting you as an anti-Christian menace. Most of us are just average people without differences. Think that most of my friends are actually Turkish :) With that said, the population exchange was de-facto religious and not ethnic. Muslims from Greece were not only Turks, some were of course. For example, Cretan Muslims were not ethnically Turkish. Also, with all due respect, in your language you call Greeks as "Ionians" (Yunanlar). It comes from Ionia region, the region around Smyrna (Izmir now). So, you call us as owners of this region in your language, but Greeks being there in WW1 is labeled as "an occupational force that needs deportation"? And this is called "independence war"? Sending away Ionians from Ionia is named "independence" in the Turkish point of view? I'm just trying to find the logic. Ionians being in Ionia makes sense, I think. With that in mind, 1821 independence war cannot be compared with the Turkish one. Greece took independence from Ottoman colonization, from settlers, despite living there as you say. So, demanding the settlers to leave your place is a human right last time I checked.

@@elmaarmut8918 apart from the anti-democratic ties you have remained in the Middle Ages in general.the exchange of populations took place between Muslims and Christians and not Turks and Greeks also the vast majority of Muslims who went to Turkey were of Greek ethnicity as they had been forced to change religion so as not to die.the Greeks and generally the Christians of Anatolia because of their different religion destroyed this category because of their different religion is called GENOCIDE.

@@EAGLE----1 you are blinded with your hate.as i said before we are against any kinds of occupation. We fought with occupiers not the rum people who lived in anatolia. Anatolian people have right to défend itself and set up new republic. Past and present, We dont have an any deal with Christianty unfortunately, Greek narrator of History is based on hatred againsnt Ottomans not other ethnicities but Turks. And Greeks like to associate everything with Christianty. Population exchange made it easy for you. Seeing everything from one-sided percpective leaded you to this position Plus seeing every Muslim Greeks as " survivors of something or threaten to death" is something unrealistic.

You are all welcomed to see, my audience is limitless. ☺️ Historical events are not "a "mentality" though. Sad to witness how people's national pride can be so blind to even deny history.

Leave the sorrow in the past, please... Remembering and reminding again and again only hurts. (Αυτό δεν ωφελεί καθόλου.) Put yourself into our shoes: Catastrophe for you was salvation for us. And don't go after the British imperialists again. I am a descendant of a Turkish family from Drama (like millions of immigrants in Türkiye) who left their homes, farms, everything, taking only what they can carry in their suitcases. "It was also a catastrophe." Love you, Greek friends! ❤

[@VasilisDance]

I'm sorry, but if you want us to forget you need to contact your authorities to start reparations for the crimes done to native populations of Anatolia. One example, the 1955 anti-Greek pogrom in Constantinople. Is it fixed? All I see is "Oh yes truly horrible, a night of shame for Turkey". Okay. So? Greek properties haven't been returned, schools and churches haven't been restored or rebuilt. Orthodoxy there lost 80% (!) of its heritage that night. Where is the reparation 67 years later? Nowhere. So, please, don't ask us to forget unpunished crimes. Do you seriously ask to forget the Turkish occupation in northern Cyprus and pretend everything is fine? Also, really? An equality sign between a genocide and leaving your home? Your whole argument is the population exchange. Also, why not going after British or any imperialists? Neocolonial behavior is fine? Seeing your president demanding Greece to "give back Ottoman lands" is ridiculous. Lovely that you are from Drama, but your family leaving it as part of an exchange can never be balanced with a genocide (something you don't recognize anyway). Many questions, I hope I'll see answers. Love you, too. ❤

@@VasilisDance Do you want compensation from the crusaders for occupying and plundering Constantinople? If you want, we can return to the Altai Mountains.

[@VasilisDance]

@@vengovoy4606 No, because 1204 is quite different from 1955 for example.... :) Also did I ask reparations from 1453? But 1964! Maybe you should read my message again. Needless to say that the Pope recognized and apologized for what they did to Constantinople. A nice example of generosity and peaceful neighborhood. 😊

ΣΥΓΧΑΡΗΤΗΡΙΑ ! Υπενθύμισες σε όλον τον Κόσμο ότι η Ρωμιοσύνη ζει και ότι δεν υπάρχουν χαμένες πατρίδες αλλά μόνο αλησμόνητες . Οδηγούμαστε σε μια συμφωνία- υποχώρηση με την Τουρκία ( κατ' απαίτηση των ΗΠΑ) χωρίς να ζητούμε εμείς τίποτε , εξ αιτίας των άτολμων ίσως και ανιστόρητων πολιτικών ηγετών μας . Μια δίκαιη απαίτηση θα ήταν ο απόλυτος σεβασμός των βυζαντινών ελληνικών μνημείων στην Κωνσταντινούπολη και τη Μικρά Ασία , τα οποία η Τουρκία έχει βεβηλώσει μετατρέποντάς τα σε τζαμιά.
