The genocide of the Pontians and Assyrians, committed by the Neo-Turkish regime in 1914-23, is commemorated today.
As DISY states in a Declaration, on this day we pay tribute to the 350.000 Greeks of the East and other populations, innocent victims of Turkish barbarity.
The genocide of the Pontians is and will remain in the global consciousness, despite Turkey's denial, as a crime against humanity, a heinous act that scattered death, pain and sorrow, destroying a millennia-old civilization.
Cypriot Hellenism, victim of Turkish barbarism, recognizes the genocide of the Pontians and continues the struggle for its recognition by Turkey, as a minimal gesture of remorse and restoration of historical truth.
