Pontus Tragedy 1914 - 1922 Black Book

"This is our friendly warning to the Greeks. Anyone with a bit of sense will understand that it is not possible for you Greeks to continue living in Turkey. This is an undeniable truth.

"Why? If you don't know this, listen, I'll explain. Yes! I agree, you are -supposedly- Ottoman subjects. But do you ask, is there anyone in Greece with warmer feelings than ourselves?" We are absolutely sure that you would answer no. If you want to survive, don't wait! Go! "If you listen to our sincere advice, we would like to say that, in the name of friendship, you will have no other choice but to bow your head against that army that will melt you like salt in the near future."

"Nowhere in the world, when peace prevails, when the children, citizens and neighbors of a country live in unity and in the same city and land, under the same laws and pay the same taxes, and have the same legal rights to demand the protection of life, property and honor by law, can such a situation ever occur. What had happened was that the children of a country suddenly rebelled against their own brothers, that the citizens were in a hurry to rob and kill other citizens, that the institutions responsible for enforcing the laws became the executioners of the unarmed citizens. It is witnessed many times."
