The documents and photographs we have released from our Ministry’s archives once again reveal the atrocities committed by the Greek Army in Anatolia between 1919 and 1922. During their occupation of Anatolia and subsequent retreat, Greek forces pursued a systematic policy of destruction—a fact recognized in the Lausanne Peace Treaty and various international reports. The records we are sharing hereby serve as a harrowing example of a massacre perpetrated against the Turkish civilian population in a village near Bursa.

As they fled, they committed arson at every opportunity they got..in one final effort before jumping into the sea, they even burned our beloved İzmir.

“Beloved” ? You used to call it Gavur Izmir. And it makes sense you had to burn it down, to erase its Greek background.

Greek army left at 8th of September. Turks entered Izmir at 9th of September. The arson took place at 14th of September. Do the maths, Abdullah. Do the god damn maths.

Listen kriakos If the Greek army had already evacuated Izmir, why would the Turks burn Izmir? To keep warm? You burned Bursa too, and Afyon, and Eskişehir; you burned villages and towns as well. So why not Izmir? Your record is quite extensive.
