The Byzantines survive. That is the only way in the before 1900 thread.

If it was after 1900 though....

No it isn't. Anatolia was historically home to quite a few different 'countries', so if each of them doesn't gain the upper hand on another, they could all reasonably survive.

I meant like the different Turkic states.

Indeed, and to second this, here's a map (from wiki) showing said states, or rather Beyliks at sometime during the 1200's or 1300's.

As a note, the 'Kolemen Devleti' is the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt.

You could also have two Turkish Emirates, one in Western Anatolia and one in Eastern Anatolia if none of them is strong enough to conquer the other.

And how about butterflying away the Tanzimât? Without those reforms promoting the ideals of union and freedom against the rising tide of ethnic/romantic nationalism in Europe, Turkey would have a lot of instability on that time.

Russians conquered Kars after 1878. So how about Russia seizing even more lands from Caucasian side - with a lot of Armenians adhering to Russia, perhaps Kurds also being favoured over Turks, and large numbers of Turks not perhaps subjected to outright genocide, but excluded from running the country they continue to live in?
