On the 26th of November 1979, the New York Times wrote quite characteristically : <<According to the most recent statistics, the Christian population in Turkey was diminished from ( 4.500.000 ) at the beginning of this century to just about 150,000. Of those, the Greeks are no more than 7,000 Yet, in 1923 they were as many as 1, 2 million>>. (After the massacres of many hundreds of thousands ).

One can sunmarise the genocide of the Armenian nation by giving the figure of 300.000 dead during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid and 1.500.000 killed during World War I (encyclopedia LAROUSSE). Countless others were crippled or listed aa missing. The Turkish State used every criminal method in order to complete this genocide : Oppression, hunger, thirst, walking without stop, murder, rape, fire, cold, heat, sword. Everything that could exterminate this innocent people whose only crime was their Armenian Nationality, was used by the barbarian Turks. We are not referring to those Armenians who were killed fighting the Turks in the battle-fields during their revolution, but to the non-combatants, auch as women, children, the sick and the old who perished during this period.

They have not changed in 1300 years, why should we think they can change in 90, 70, 50 years?

1942 November 11. The law of taxation on property of the non Muslims of Turkey (Varlik Vergisi ) is voted. It is a hideous attempt of economic extermination of the Greek and Armenian communities, which were exposed undefended to the excesses and abuse of power by the turkish economic authorities.
1955 September 6. The turkish authorities organize a great pogrom against the Greeks of Constantinople. 29 Churches were burnt and 46 looted. The graves of the Ecumenical Patriarchs and Christian cemeteries were vandalised. Thousands of shops were destroyed. Hundreds of women raped. Vandalisms at a smaller scale have taken place in Smyrna.
