Dude, I’m Romanian, I know about the Ottomans.

Greeks were still the majority in Greece and they were a well regarded minority in the empire. They were persecuted after WW1 (see the population exchanges and the Smyrna massacre).

But Greeks don’t view themselves as a persecuted minority, historically. It’s all about the mindset and self-perception.
