06/09/1955 and 07/09/1955... our brothers' houses and stores in Constantinople / Istanbul were destroyed because supposedly Greeks in Thessaloniki had set off a bomb at the turkish consulate (childhood residence of Kemal Ataturk).
It turned out the operation was organised by Turkey's secret services in order to put the blame on Greeks and start riots in "Poli"...
The plan was to orchestrate a greek exodus but without making it look like the turkish government was throwing out the Greeks from their homes...
Anyone knows if the turkish side has ever officially accepted its involvement in these shameful events?
