   Extractions: Sitia The island of Crete has been inhabited since prehistoric times. There is evidence of organized habitation which dates back to 8000 BCE, and the excavations of the 20th century have revealed a splendid civilization which ruled the island and much of the Aegean during the Bronze Age. The Minoan civilization, as it was named, is credited as the first civilization of Europe, it began around 2000 BCE and it lasted for about two millennia before it was replaced on the island by Mycenaean civilization circa 1375, and then by Classical and Hellenistic Greeks, which in turn were replaced by the Romans. The Byzantine empire and the Venetians controlled the island for a few hundred years before the Ottoman empire invaded the island. The Ottoman empire ruled the island from 1645 until 1898 when the Greeks revolted and finally re-united the island with Greece in 1913.

Bayraktaroglu said their association would try hard to achieve this, Anatolia news agency reported Bayraktaroglu noted that in the years betweeen 1924 and 1925, following the Treaty of Lausanne, nearly 500,000 people (100,000 being from Crete) came to Anatolia from Greece under the exchange program. Pointing out that they were able to establish an association in 1999, he said, "So many years have past since Lausanne and we are starting to forget our culture and are trying hard to keep it alive." Those who immigrated from Anatolia to Greece under the exchange program never fogot their own culture, stated Bayraktaroglu and added that the people of Crete were neither Byzantine Greeks nor Greeks, they had a different race, culture and language and that this had to be transferred to the young generation. Bayraktaroglu emphasized that the local people of Crete came from Venice, Malta, Libya, Anatolia and Greece.
