55 years pass since İstanbul pogrom
6 September 2010 /SELÇUK KAPUCI

Today marks the 55th anniversary of the Sept. 6-7 İstanbul pogrom, when many houses and places of business belonging to non-Muslims in İstanbul were destroyed after a newspaper headline reported that Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s home in Greece had been bombed by Greek militants.
An extensive campaign of plunder and lynching was launched against the Greeks and non-Muslims of İstanbul, particularly on the Princes’ Islands, during the two-day incidents. While many non-Muslims lost their lives in the riots, many others were injured and material damage was immense. According to reports, 73 Greek Orthodox churches in İstanbul were set on fire. The Turkish press reported 11 casualties, while the Greek press cited the number as 15.

58 years later, a twist of irony/coincidence/destiny/life: Greece took on Turkey to qualify for the Eurobasket2013 Championships tonight and won 61-84.

Have friends whose parents left after the Septemvriana. Very real and very recent. Turkey today is the Turkey of genocides and occupation.

55 years pass since İstanbul pogrom

And 39 years have passed since the Cyprus pogrom on the 15th July 1974, when Greeks came to trash Cyprus and impose double enosis.

Terrible events showing Turkey for what it was and still is.

I would use their own words for it:

Majestic Greece dwarfs Turkey’s ‘12 Giant Men’ in EuroBasket 84-61

Turkey lost its third game at 2013 EuroBasket in decisive fashion against a resplendent Greece on Sept. 7, 81-64, scuttling any hopes the Turks entertained of reaching the second round.

Failing to measure up against one of the main favorites in the competition, the self-proclaimed “12 Giant Men” looked rather like Lilliputians on the hard court against a Greek team deprived from its virtuoso playmaker, Vassilis Spanoulis.

Have you ever read RoC's Constitution, silly dog?
