"It should also be pointed out that when the Greek army invaded Turkey
between 1919 and 1922, it carried out a conscious policy of ethnic
cleansing with the purpose of killing and/or driving out all
inhabitants of western Turkey who did not share Greek nationality and
religion, causing those Muslims and Jews who survived to flee to the
areas under Turkish nationalist control. This policy was eloquently
reported in a detailed report presented by an International Commission
of Investigation chaired by American Admiral and High Commissioner
Mark Bristol, and including representatives of Italy, France and Great
Britain, as well as Greek and Turkish observers, by a Red Cross report
written by the Red Cross representative in Turkey, Maurice Gehry, and
by historian Arnold Toybee in a series of articles published at the
time in the Manchester Guardian and later summarized in his book, 'The
Western Question in Greece and Turkey.' As a result, Great Britain cut
off all military and financial assistance to the Greek invasion, a
major reason for its ultimate defeat by the armies of Mustafa Kemal
Ataturk."
-- Professor Stanford

Following their military defeat in 1922, after having attacked,
tortured, raped and massacred the Turks, Jews and others in Western
Anatolia and destroyed their country after Ottoman Empire collapsed
after WWI, the Greeks executed six Cabinet ministers of their own whom
they thought responsible for the humiliating failure.
One was brought on a stretcher to the execution ground, being too sick
to walk. Another died of a heart attack in the van taking him from his
prison cell. The sick and the dead were propped up alongside the
others and shot.
Being dead of heart attack was not dead enough for the Greeks; they
still wanted to kill him more(!) by shooting his already dead body.
Killing a sick man, too sick to walk, and shooting a dead body is
another dimension of Greek crulety, blood-thirstiness and savagery
against fellow human beings.
But the ultimate Greek crulety, blood-thirstiness and savagery against
fellow human beings, which is very rarely seen elsewhere, is this: The
six Greek goverment ministers (one was too sick to walk, another was
alread dead of a heart attack) were executed for failing to massacre
and/or drive out all inhabitants of western Turkey, Moslems, Jews and
others, who did not share Greek nationality and religion.
It is exactly like an organized crime syndicate punishing by executing
its member thugs and murderers failing to committ crimes. Mafia does
this all the time.

DOCUMENTED MASSACRES BY GREEK GOVERMENT IN TURKEY DURING 1919-1922
In 1919, Greeks entered Anatolia with the support of Entente Powers in
order to kill Turkish people living in Anatolia. To reach their goals,
they didn't hesitate to kill unarmed civilian people, even children.
We are publishing the documents which first appeared in Historical
Documents Magazine. The magazine compiled the documents from General
Directorate of Government Archives. The magazine includes particularly
the Greek atrocities, massacres, rapes, arson targeting unarmed
Turkish
people and their sacred values between 1919-1922, a period in which
the
Greek occupation of Western Anatolia took place.
Now we have a question: Do Greeks have any right to bring out the
"Asia
Minor" genocide while they have committed all these massacres, rapes,
murders, and plunders against Turkish and Muslim people?
Below, you can see the original documents which prove all of the
massacres,
robberies, rapes of Greeks.
