Today, May 19, 2023, 104 years after the genocide of the Greeks of Pontus, we keep alive the memory of the 353,000 victims, but also the brutal uprooting of those who managed to escape the massacre.

The violent extermination and uprooting of the Pontian Hellenes from their ancestral homes was a planned crime of the Neo-Turkish movement. The international community must remember and condemn unequivocally actions of heinous barbarity, such as the systematic extermination of innocent citizens so that similar crimes against humanity are never repeated again.

We support the just struggle of the Pontian community and all of Hellenism for international recognition of this heinous crime in order to restore historical truth and international legitimacy.

We must resist oblivion by keeping the sacred flame of memory and national conscience unquenched.
