Poles, do you know how Turks founded themselves in Europe first time? Your Serbian brat will tell you, so that you get info.
First Turks in Europe were Turkish mercenaries called and paid by Eastern Roman (ie Byzantine) general and statesman John VI Kantakouzenos (14th century), Greek nobleman. They were paid to penetrate borders of the Serbian Empire and inflict damage. So, once when Turks learned how fast they can cross Dardanelles they started thinking of conquest. Our Emperor Dushan The Mighty Nemanjic (bdw, highest ranking ancestor noble house in family tree of Polish Jadwiga and so, ancestral house to Jadwiga) wanted to establish chain of border fortresses but, didn`t got Greek support. In fact, when Serbian Orthodox Church declared itself independent from Greek Orthodox Church and when Dushan constituted himself for the Tzar, Greeks cursed him and Serbs. By their opinion, it was abominable that one who is Slavic infidel can become Emperor and have equal rank to Eastern Romans/Greeks.
That`s how it started. Rest is history. Once when Turks were in Europe all Whites except Slavs collaborated with them, not just Greeks. Only Slavs offered real resistance, especially Serbs, Poles and Russians.
