AHC:Keep Anatolia Hellenized

As we all know, Anatolia, AKA Asian Turkey, was culturally Greek for a large part of history. What would it take for Anatolia to remain Hellenized?

Hellenized, in this sense, means the following
:The people seeing themselves 'Greek'
:Greek or Latin names for places in Anatolia
:at the least 50% Christian. Denomination does not matter, as long as it is Christian.
Optional: Greece and Turkey as one country. It may be Byzantium, Greece, or any other country that can possibly acieve said requirements

If you need to alter the surrounding areas to achieve this, you may.
 
As mentioned, the easiest way to do this is to not have the ERE fall. Though the people would see themselves as "Roman" rather than Greek, this is only a minor point-Greekness and Romanity were one and the same by that time.
 
No Turks.

ERE may not last forever; odds are that even without the Turks, it eventually starts to rot from within and is renewed in some different form. Maybe a Greek-identity revival movement of some sort brought on by some sort of Renaissance or increasing awareness and recovery of the Greek classics.

It may start with a surviving ERE but it could end in a sort of wider Greek nationalist state.
 
What about greater adoption of Hellenistic practices by the Ottomans?

OTL the Ottomans embraced several aspects of "Roman" culture, but I guess they could have done this more (especially, they could have adopted the Greek language). Though they'd also need a way to transmit some of these changes to the peasantry...

Is it possible for Ottomans to become Christian somehow?

The Ottomans? No. The turks, earlier in history? Sure.
 
Seljuks were nomads, steppe people who ruled over urbanised population, but unlike Mongols, they did not treat their subjects very well.
Anatolia was depopulated during conquest, Jizya taxes leved on survivors crushingly high, and there was overall destruction of cultural-religious centres. Ottomans kept Orthodox bishops around as useful intermediary with their dhimmi subjects. Whereas Seljuks, not really, since they were not that subtle. Whomever was left, was desperate and devoid of leadership. If Seljuks, or any other non-Christian overlord of Anatolia was better at ruling and not just conquering (read: more like the Mongols), Anatolia would remain far more Hellenistic.
