That includes all of Italy, areas of North Africa, all of Turkey including Istanbul the then capital of the empire. So for you to say that Turkey took settlements from the Greeks is inaccurate. The fact is that the whole Mediterranean area is filled with the remnants of many long gone empires. The Turks aren't the only people that have Greek structures in their country, check out Taromina in Italy. You should also research the population exchange between Turkey and Greece in the 1920's.
