1936 Kirklareli pogroms when Turkish PEHLIVANs attacked the Jewish community of Kirklareli.
1941 Varlik vegisi which stole al properties and wealth from Jews and Armenians, man sent to Askale labor camps
1941 20th draft (so called) military service where Jewish man who had already served their mandatory military service were sent to labor camps in Yozgat and Afyon while Muslim Turks did not have to.
1955 September 6-7 pogroms where Jews Armenians and Greeks were attacked in Istanbul and Izmir (I am old enough t remember that day)
Just because Ottoman empira welcomed (actually for convenience not for humanity) teh Spanish Jews in 1492 that does not give the right or an excuse for the above mentioned unfair and racist treatment.
