THE GREEK GENOCIDE: Thrace - Asia Minor - Pontus
Theofanis Malkidis
Translation: Techmine Martoyan
The Armenian Genocide Museum ` Institute
Yerevan - Armenia 2014
The first book on the Greek Genocide in the Armenian language
Attempts to highlight the rich history of the Greek communities which
existed in the former Ottoman Empire, communities which were slowly
destroyed at the beginning of the 20th century, and completely
destroyed by 1922-23, has widespread interest particularly amongst the
younger generation.
Third and fourth generation youth whose relatives were refugees from
these lands, are eager to learn the history of their ancestors. But
they have not restricted themselves to learning just the basics when
it comes to the issue. In other words just about the folklore. To
them, ancestry doesn't just mean culture, theater, music, architecture
and cuisine. It doesn't just mean the history of Ancient Hellenism,
Byzantium and the Greek spirit. To them, it also means education and
the bigger picture ` the genocide.
The worldwide emergence of the issue of the genocide has resulted from
efforts to preserve the historical and cultural identity of the Greeks
of the former Ottoman Empire, and from efforts by human rights
activists around the world.
Aside from presenting the historical facts related to the genocide,
this new publication presents the key arguments which prove that
genocide was committed on the Ottoman Greeks.
The book, the first ever published in Armenian, has been produced in
order to strengthen the resources available on the genocide committed
on the Greeks by the perpetrators ` the Neo Turks and the Kemalists.
