Killed by an Israeli air strike as he was waiting for humanitarian aid. Absolutely heartbreaking. This is happening every single day from babies, all the way to the elderly.
May you rest in peace, Suleiman al-Obeid ❤️
“The Turks treated us with kindness and respect.”
(Video from a rare 1920s interview with Greeks who once lived in the Black Sea region of Türkiye.)
At a time when massacres against Turks were erupting across vast territories — from the Balkans to the Aegean, from the Caucasus to Anatolia — many minority communities continued to live peacefully among the Turkish people.
The history of anti-Turkish violence is not confined to the Aegean islands alone.
It includes the Peloponnese and the massacre of Tripolitsa, Navarino, Chios (1822), Samothrace (1821),
Constantinople (the Greek uprising and killings in 1821),
Kos, Rhodes, Psara, Crete, Cyprus, and extends through Macedonia, the Balkans, and even parts of Anatolia.
While entire Turkish communities were wiped out in these regions, in Anatolia — the heartland of the Turks — Christian, Jewish, and other minority communities often found relative safety, tolerance, and coexistence.
History is complex. But when voices from a century ago remember being treated "like family" by Turks, it challenges many of today’s simplistic narratives.
Dün şehit düşen kahramanımız Kani Obi, görevi başındayken sessizliği tercih ederdi. Fotoğraflarını paylaşmaz, kendini ön plana çıkarmazdı. Ama bir cümlesi vardı, unutulmayan: “Yaşarken değil, Şehit olunca paylaşın beni her yerde...”
Kalbimize mühürlüsün Kani...

Remember that history repeats itself. Your arrogance that comes with oil will end one day and traitor will remain traitor.

Türkiye için önemi büyük olan böyle bir tesisin kurulumunda çalışmak benim için gurur vericiydi, umarım ülkemiz ve geleceğimiz için her şey çok güzel olur
@61erlik @SanayiSavunmaTR Akçakoca-Alaplı kara yolundan geçersen eğer denizde ki tesisleri görebilirsin, o kuyularda da gaz üretimi yıllardır devam ediyor. Yani anlayacağın farklı gaz sahaları
