There still seem to be some deep-seated resentments from some Greeks towards Turks due to the Greek genocide and exodus a hundred years ago. Turks on the other hand have never heard about that (it's illegal to teach in Turkey), so they are pretty chill. There is some bitterness due to the more recent (and still unresolved) conflict regarding Cyprus.

Similar in some (minor) ways to the North and South in the US civil war. Folks in the North (winning side) learn about it in school for a few weeks and it's like studying ancient history. But in parts of the South, it feels like it just happened yesterday.
