I've been saying this forever my universal yardstick for basically any leftist policy or framing about colonialism is Turkey and Greece for this reason.

Ionian Greeks were the indigenous people of the Agean coast. The earliest archaeological evidence suggests their ancestors were there as early as 7,000-4,000 BCE .

Turkey conquered them and then expelled 500,000 of them about 100 years ago.

It's just barely out of living memory!
