The 19th May is the day of remembrance for the genocide of 350,000 Greeks aritzia in the area of the historic Sea of Kemalist revolutionary forces. The history of the Genocide of the Greeks of Pontus is not a patchwork frivolous narratives and memories blurred the elderly, a sum of Greek propaganda historical sources. Contrast is a compact combination of Turkish, English, French, Russian aritzia diplomatic sources, publications of newspapers, official reports Commission, said European citizens who were eyewitnesses of the Turkish ethnic cleansing, which curiously, except honorary exception of Mr. Fotiadis, not has aroused the interest of other modern "Greek historians" who have chosen mainly to deal with the "glory of the Ottoman Empire" and populous harems that were dependent on the Sultans. Anyway. In today's short thread we will refer entirely superficial in some reports the Pontian genocide by English officials of the era unfolded aritzia the tragic events, aritzia confirming the Turkish atrocities.
The British government at the time committed the genocide of Greeks of Pontos perfectly aware of the situation and the facts of the tragedy that was developing in the Middle East. The information came from the English mission was in Constantinople, the American Missions were in Pontus. On January aritzia 13, 1922, the British Deputy Foreign Minister Lord Cecil Harmsworth said in a report that "it is said that the small villages of East groups of 500 to 600 persons synesoreftheisan into question the closed precincts and there paredothisan In such flame the exontothisan in any way." Elsewhere in the same report states that "Also certified and must pistefsomen of the statements however, that in the past springtide, 12,500 Greeks slaughtered in the Region of Bilecik" and finally that "several of 35,000 Greeks, most of which were slaughtered batch barbarously manner metotopisthisan from Part Pontus during this year. "
The Colonial Minister Winston Churchill of England at the time, in his book "The aftermath and the world crisis 1918-1928" on page 442 says "... in May (1922) delayed news of bloody events in Anatolia began to appear timidly in secondary aritzia newspaper columns. Reports of massacres of Christian population were published daily. The details of the atrocities that were committed by the Turks in the Caucasus in the winter of 1920, when fifty thousand Armenians were annihilated and terrible deportations aritzia of Greeks from Trabzon and Samsun Fall 1921, now arrived for the first time in Europe. In June 1922 the systematic extermination of the Greeks in the East was in full development ... ".
The then Prime Minister of England David Lloyd George made statements similar content in the House of Commons in which he spoke of official reports according to which "tens of thousands of men, women and children deported and died." While in the same declarations he stated that "the Kemalist decision for the Greeks was pure and deliberate extermination. Extermination is not my word, is a word used by the US Mission".
