One Hundred Years Ago this day, October 27, 1912, at 01:30 in the morning, the Ottomans surrendered the city of Thessaloniki to the Greek Army.

They will soon surrender Constantinople. 8)

From the nytimes link

But others warn of a dangerous cultural jingoism at work. Burak Bekdil, a columnist for Hurriyet Daily News, mused in a recent column that the time was ripe for a film called “Conquest 1974,” to celebrate the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, or “Extinction 1915,” to commemorate the genocide of 1.5 million Armenians during World War I. Death threats followed.

A typical reaction from the neo Ottoman thugs.
