For some reason the Greeks are obsessed with claiming that they are of Greek origin. Trying to claim that Turks didn't beat during the Turkish Independence War, but sell out Greeks did. However, there were Greek guerrilla fighters, and none of them were called Zeybek or even Efe. On top of that, those guerrilla fighters all fought for Greece. And contributed to genocides and atrocities against Turks. So, this claim is clearly false. The sources used are also unreliable. For example, someone keeps adding just the author and a random page... So, you can't check anything. The same user reverted my edits. And one of the sources claimed that Zeybeks were Greek, because Greeks happened to be influenced by Turkish culture...
Lastly, all those false claims are made from random Greek IP addresses who only vandalized the pages, and never edited anything after that.

The given source from 2005 says they descend from Thracians who aren't even Greeks, so I removed it because the sentence contradicts the source itself. Atabegli ( talk) 12:22, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

atrocities against Christian Orthodox Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians during the 1910s and 1920s, and that would be unwarranted if this isn't mentioned as such in sources.
