Muslims in Greece by Professor A. R. Momin Greece, located in south-eastern Europe, shares borders with Turkey in the east and Macedonia, Bulgaria and Albania in the north. Most of the areas that lie within the borders of present-day Greece were part of the Ottoman Empire from the 15th century until 1821. Within a few years after the conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul), which was the nerve-centre of the Byzantine Empire and the Orthodox Christian Church, in 1453, the Ottomans captured Greece in 1458. The period of Ottoman rule over Greece is known as Tourkokratia in Greek history. iosminaret.org/vol-7/issue23/Muslims_in_Greece.php
