Yeni Safak: ‘Greece owes its recommendation to the brutal murder of tens of thousands of Muslims’

Say say say, something will be left, people say. And based on that, Ankara continues the practice of predicting that instead of making self-criticism about massacres, purges, genocides, it continues to blame those around it for what it chooses to hide under the rug. The extremist pro-Erdogan newspaper Yeni Safak in an article on Monday puts aside the war crowns and chooses to “enlighten” its readers about the fact that “the foundations of Greece were laid with blood”.

In its current propaganda article, it begins by saying: “Standing against Turkey with the support of Western countries, Greece owes its recommendation to the brutal murder of tens of thousands of Muslims. Archival documents and testimonies reveal that the Greek Revolution consisted of successive.”

The bloodiest of the massacres committed by the Greek militia against the civilian Muslim population took place in the Peloponnese in the autumn of 1821. The Greeks, who found Muslim Turks and Albanians in many settlements, especially in Tripolitsa, killed more than 30 people. The looting and other attacks that took place during the events, which Western historians can not deny, showed that Muslims suffered genocide.British historian William Claire said that “when there were no other Muslim Turks left to kill ‘”, writes Yeni Safak, naturally silencing the massacres committed against Greeks in Constantinople when she announced the beginning of the Revolution, the massacres in Izmir at the same time, massacres and persecutions in Kydonia, , Cyprus, the massacre of Samothrace (September 1, 1821), the massacre of Chios where 30,000 Greeks were killed, the destruction of Kasos where the Kasos of 7,000 souls were deserted, the massacre in Psara where about 18,000 Greeks were killed and the island was deserted and let us not forget the Genocide of the Greeks of Asia Minor and Thrace which ended with the burning of Smyrna in 1922.

Yeni Safak goes on to put Cyprus in the picture: “Greece, whose foundations were laid with blood and tears, did not hesitate to follow the same stance in Cyprus. While the Greek authorities accused Turkey of being a repression of crime, They also accelerated their plan to ‘cleanse’ the island of Muslim Turks by arming Greek Cypriots. all the difficulties that have existed in the efforts to resolve it “.

Also deliberately silencing the role played by the uneducated mob of Turkey in the attacks against the Greeks in Crete, the pogrom in Istanbul in 1955, where again the mob slaughtered and demolished everything Greek, the fact that the famous Panagia Baloukli ” Loxandras “, by Maria Iordanidou) was completely dissolved because the Greeks revolted and many more, Yeni Safak adds:” The role played by the Christian clergy in the massacres and attacks against Muslims in Greece never went unnoticed. In the war of independence and Later in Cyprus, the priests were positioned as the “ideological fathers” of the militia and soldiers, while the prominent name was the High Priest of the Orthodox Church of Cyprus Makarios G. Makarios who simultaneously held the presidency of the state and the leadership of the church, in memory as a promoter and supporter of crimes against citizens. It is known that Makarios followed the example of the clergy who held critical positions in the founding course of Greece. “And today it can be seen how Greek and Greek Cypriot priests often make political statements against Turkey and the Turks.”
