29η Μαΐου 1453.
Η Πόλη έπεσε, μα το φως της δεν έσβησε. Στην αιωνιότητα της ιστορίας, η Κωνσταντινούπολη έγινε σύμβολο και η μνήμη της οδηγός.
Κρατάμε άσβεστη τη μνήμη, την περηφάνια μας, την ταυτότητά μας.

Our member @e_fragkos pays his respects to the victims of the Pontic Greek Genocide.
Their memory deserves fuller European recognition. #EPlenary
19 May, Day of Remembrance of the Genocide of the Pontic Greeks.
We do not forget the systematic extermination of 353,000 Pontic Greeks, who had lived for three millennia on the shores of the Black Sea.

19 May is not only a Greek day of mourning.
It is the day Ankara’s map is put on trial.
Pontus was not a footnote. Smyrna was not erased by Izmir. Trebizond still breathes beneath Trabzon. Amisos beneath Samsun. Kerasous beneath Giresun. Kotyora beneath Ordu. Amasia beneath Amasya. Constantinople beneath Istanbul.
These names are not nostalgia.
They are evidence.
This is the obscenity of 19 May.
Turkey marks it as the beginning of Atatürk’s national struggle. Pontus remembers it as its death certificate.
But the deeper crime is not the calendar.
It is the myth.
To give birth to a nation claiming Turanian purity, Ankara had to erase the Anatolia that proved otherwise.
The state did not only kill “outsiders”.
It devoured the peoples that constituted its society.
Greek Anatolia.
Armenian Anatolia.
Assyrian Anatolia.
Kurdish Anatolia.
Laz, Georgian, Circassian, Jewish and Arab Anatolia.
The witnesses had to disappear because they unmasked the fraud.
A place name is an archive. A surname is a confession. A family silence outlives a state archive.
Ankara did not only rename cities.
Then it renamed people.
Grandmothers became rumours.
Grandfathers became omissions.
Churches became trophies.
Languages became kitchen whispers.
Villages became coordinates under Turkish signs.
Pan-Turanism is the lie: take language, add arrows, graft ancestry, erase the converted, the absorbed, the murdered, the renamed and the unnameable, then call the result destiny.
That is why Pontus matters.
It was not only a victim.
It was evidence.
And evidence had to be destroyed.
The Greek Genocide was not only the murder of Pontic Greeks. It was the destruction of a civilisation: Pontus, Ionia, Cappadocia, Eastern Thrace, Smyrna.
The method was simple: kill the people, empty the villages, seize the churches, silence the schools, take the houses, rename the map, then accuse the dead of provocation.
This is why Ankara still panics when the old names return.
A name reopens the file.
A name breaks the alibi.
And there is something darker still.
Modern Turkey was not born from a sanitised Central Asian myth. Anatolia was Greek, Armenian, Assyrian, Kurdish, Laz, Georgian, Circassian, Jewish and Arab before Ankara compressed it into one state orthodoxy.
Many citizens of today’s Turkey carry the ancestry, surnames, family silences and converted memories of the very peoples the state tried to erase.
That is why this was also historical cannibalism.
A state ate its own past, then called the digestion nation-building.
Armenians.
Assyrians.
Greeks of Pontus and Asia Minor.
Smyrna in flames.
The emptied villages.
The renamed cities.
The churches turned into trophies.
The archives locked, mocked and denied.
This is not a tragedy Turkey inherited.
It is Ankara’s catalogue of crimes against humanity.
And the catalogue did not close in 1923.
It returned in Cyprus in 1974, when invasion became occupation.
It returned against the Kurds as policy: destroyed villages, forced displacement, emergency rule and the outlawing of Kurdishness.
The lesson is not hatred.
The lesson is unauthorised memory.
Because Hitler understood the usefulness of forgotten crimes. The line attributed to him before the invasion of Poland still burns through history:
“Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”
We speak.
For every erased name.
For every people Ankara tried to bury under a new signpost.
We do not remember for the dead.
We remember for the living, and for those who would repeat their crimes if the world teaches them that amnesia is impunity and memory can be murdered too.
Με αφορμή την Ημέρα Μνήμης για τη Γενοκτονία των Ελλήνων του Πόντου, ανατρέχουμε με συγκίνηση σε ένα από τα πιο τραγικά κεφάλαια της σύγχρονης ιστορίας: τη συστηματική εξόντωση 353.000 συμπατριωτών μας. https://t.co/hNluda3Fpb
Today is the Pontic Greek genocide remembrance day.
353000 Pontic Greeks were massacred by the Turkish terrorists, who call their genocide "Turkish Independence War".
I'd like to remind you also of all other Greeks(purple) and also the Armenians(orange), who lost their lives.
🇬🇷 | Pontic Greek Genocide, 353.000 souls seek justice. This was no 'tragedy', it was Genocide. We shall not forget.
The 19th of May marks the Pontic Greek Genocide Remembrance Day, a solemn occasion honoring the memory of approximately 353.000 Pontic Greeks who were killed between 1914 and 1923. This genocide was part of the broader campaign of ethnic cleansing carried out against Christian minorities in the Ottoman Empire. The Pontic Greeks had lived for millennia along the Black Sea coast of what is now northern Turkey, preserving their distinct culture, language, and Orthodox Christian identity. #Patriots
Ήταν μεγάλη τιμή να είμαι ο κεντρικός ομιλητής στην εκδήλωση «Η Γενοκτονία των Ελλήνων του Πόντου: Μνήμη, Στρατηγική και Διεθνοποίηση της Ιστορικής Ευθύνης», την οποία διοργάνωσε η Παμποντιακή Ομοσπονδία Ελλάδος (Π.Ο.Ε.) στην Αίθουσα Γερουσίας της Βουλής των Ελλήνων.
Η αυριανή Ημέρα Μνήμης της Γενοκτονίας των Ελλήνων του Πόντου, η 19η Μαΐου, δεν είναι απλώς μία ακόμη ημερομηνία στο ημερολόγιο των εθνικών επετείων. Είναι η ημέρα στην οποία στεκόμαστε με βαθιά θλίψη απέναντι σε ένα από τα σκοτεινότερα κεφάλαια της νεότερης ιστορίας: Τη μαζική οργανωμένη δολοφονία και τον βίαιο ξεριζωμό του ποντιακού λαού από πατρογονικές εστίες. Από τόπους στους οποίους ο Ποντιακός Ελληνισμός υπήρχε επί 28 αιώνες.
