🇬🇷☦️ Never forget the #Greek Genocide. Tears still fall when we see this rare archival footage of the forced exile of the #Christian #Greeks from their own ancestral lands. This is a historical/educational tweet about the Greek Genocide. The Ottoman Empire, under the Young Turk government (Committee of Union and Progress) and later Kemalist forces, carried out a systematic campaign of persecution, mass murder, and expulsion against the native Greek population of Asia Minor, Pontus, and Eastern Thrace. This formed part of a broader effort to eliminate Christian minorities and create an ethnically and religiously homogeneous Turkish state. Over 350,000 Pontian Greeks are estimated to have been killed, with total Greek deaths across regions ranging from several hundred thousand to as many as 1 million, according to various scholarly estimates. Persecutions began intensifying in 1914 with boycotts, arbitrary arrests, property seizures, and forced conscription of men into lethal labor battalions (Amele Taburları), where most perished from exhaustion, starvation, disease, and execution. The physical destruction was accompanied by a systematic economic campaign. Under the pretext of laws dealing with "abandoned goods" (Emval-i Metruke), the state seized the homes, lands, businesses, and bank accounts of the deported and murdered Greeks. This mass expropriation stripped the Christian communities of centuries of wealth to build a new national economy. Beyond physical and economic destruction, this campaign constituted a profound cultural genocide. The perpetrators aimed to erase all historical traces of the Greek presence. Ancient towns were systematically renamed, schools were shut down, and thousands of centuries-old monuments, churches, and monasteries were either destroyed, desecrated, or converted. Women, children, and the elderly endured death marches designed to kill without pulling a trigger. Deportees were forced to walk for weeks across brutal terrain without food, water, or shelter. Anyone who collapsed from hunger or exposure was either shot on the spot or left to die by the roadsides. Thousands died from disease and attacks by irregular forces. Entire villages were burned. These atrocities occurred alongside the Armenian Genocide and massacres of Assyrians, as part of the same late Ottoman campaign against Christian populations. Contemporary evidence is extensive: reports from American consuls and ambassadors, Western missionaries, European diplomats, and relief organizations documented the events in real time. The violence deliberately targeted Christian clergy. A prominent example is Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Smyrna, who refused to abandon his flock in 1922. He was arrested, tortured, and lynched by a mob - an act of martyrdom that symbolizes the tragedy. In 2007, the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) officially recognized the Greek Genocide, affirming that the Ottoman campaign against Pontian and Anatolian Greeks constituted genocide, alongside those against Armenians and Assyrians. This was the violent erasure of a civilization with roots stretching back three millennia. Eternal memory to the blessed martyrs. May the blessed Christian martyrs rest in peace.

☦️🇨🇾 Never forget the illegal invasion of #Cyprus. On July 20, 1974, over 162,000 #Greek #Cypriot #Christians were brutally driven from their ancestral homes in a campaign of ethnic cleansing. This is a historical/educational tweet. On July 20, 1974, Turkey launched a full-scale military invasion of the Republic of Cyprus — a sovereign, independent state and UN member. Code-named “Operation Attila,” it was carried out in two phases. Thousands of Greek Cypriots were killed or executed during the military advance. According to the official records of the bi-communal Committee on Missing Persons (CMP), 1,510 Greek Cypriots are among those listed as missing. Between 162,000 and 200,000 Greek Cypriots, roughly one-third of the population, were forcibly expelled from their homes in the north, becoming refugees in their own country overnight. This campaign of forced displacement stripped families of their ancestral lands, homes, and properties. 36.2% of the island was occupied. In the occupied areas, historic Byzantine churches, chapels, and monasteries — some over a thousand years old — were systematically desecrated. Many were converted into mosques, military depots, or stables, while others were looted or left to decay. Hundreds of priceless icons were stolen or smashed, frescoes were defaced, and a rich cultural heritage was deliberately targeted. The Armenian Quarter (Armenomahallas) in Nicosia’s walled city, along with the historic Notre Dame de Tyre church, was completely sealed off under Turkish military control. In the northern mountains, the famous 11th-century Sourp Magar (Saint Macarius) Armenian monastery was seized by Turkish troops, looted, and left to decay. The international community documented these violations in real-time. UN Security Council resolutions condemned the invasion, demanded the immediate withdrawal of foreign troops, and called for the safe return of all displaced persons. These resolutions remain unimplemented more than 50 years later. Furthermore, the demographic character of the north was altered by transferring tens of thousands of settlers from mainland Anatolia, a move condemned under the Fourth Geneva Convention. The ghost town of Varosha (Famagusta), once a thriving Greek Cypriot resort, remains a heavily restricted, deteriorating ruin and a painful symbol of this tragedy. In 1983, the occupied northern area was unilaterally declared the “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.” This entity is recognized only by Turkey and is declared legally invalid by UN Security Council Resolutions 541 and 550. Cyprus has maintained a continuous Greek presence for over 3,000 years. Today, the division continues. Greek Cypriot families are still barred from permanently returning to their ancestral villages, and Nicosia remains the last divided capital in Europe. Eternal memory to the blessed martyrs and the missing of Cyprus. May the fallen heroes and innocent victims of 1974 rest in peace.
