All of this was done to strengthen the Ottomans, but I'm not convinced that this is the rigght approach.
That's not why it's setup the way it is. The setup we have reflect our impression of how majorities looked historically. Please do criticise if you think it's wrong.
For the Greeks see the posts of Chamboozer. Nobody is disputing they existed but we have nothing to indicate they were in majority in the 15th century other than that they would be 500 years later, while there are significant things that speaks for them being in minority.
If you disagree you are more than welcome to provide your own sources (but perhaps in its own thread)
Armenians has had much less discussion in this forum so if any of you has more to contribute please do post where you think they should be exactly and why
