Angående turkarnas status som befriare så letar jag fortfarande och jag återkommer när jag hittat nåt, men jag har hittat källor (tryckta) över hur grekerna hade det under större delen av sin osmanska tillvaro:
[quote=""Christians and Jews in the Ottoman Empire, Vol. 2", edited by Benjamin Braude and Bernard Lewis"]The local rulers and dynasts who governed much of Greece were for the most Muslims. They presided, however, over largely Greek principalities, were served by Greek ministers and agents, and employed Greek troops.
The Ottomans allowed the Greek community to maintain its physical existence, language, sense of history, cultural traditions, and religious integrity over several centuries.
For many the empire presented a wide field for personal advancemet and success. In its service these Greeks were willing to work and make important contributions. ... The wealthy and lettered were oftentimes beneficiaries of Ottoman largesse and protection. As for the Church, its authority was often bolstered by the Ottomans who enforced its edicts.
From 1600 to 1800 the wealthy Greek families of the Phanar, an Istanbul district to which the patriarchate was moved in 1601, assumed increased wealth and political influence both within their own community adn the empire at large. Among Greeks the Phanariotes manipulated the selection of the patriarch and his officials to suit the interests of their competing families. In the empire the Panariotes controlled the revenue-producing principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia in addition to the influential chief dragomanate, which helped shape Ottoman foreign policy, and the post of dragoman to the fleet, who served the Ottoman high admiral and administered many of teh Aegean islands[/quote]
