First of all, make sure to maintain a decent phraseology and a proper attitude! You are too young to even be remotely aware of culinary history. When we talk about Greek desserts or any dessert and any food, we are talking about the relationship between food, culture and society.The food we eat is part of our identity, defining the way we interact and mapping the history, cultural changes and practices of society. Now, if we consider the fact that Greece is the oldest country in Europe and one of the oldest in the world, it is clear that tracing the origins of these foods is always clear-cut. We can accept ”Baklava” is a product of World Cuisine : in Iran, in Caucauses, in Irak as Sumerians, Ancient Egypt as named ”Nomad Kings” etc ...

Baklava cake (just like yogurt) is one of traditional Greek dessert --whose recipes have been passed down from one generation to the next-- ...for the following reason: It’s the Byzantines that prepared the Baklava.

In fact, the name “Phyllo” was coined by Greeks, which means “leaf” in the Greek language. I give you the Greek alternative. The 400-year Ottoman occupation of Greece does not erase Greek history or culture.Therefore make aware when you this how to do your homework before posting false information on internet.
