On September 6-7, 1955, marauding Turks attacked Greek and Armenian properties in Istanbul, destroying thousands of shops, schools, churches, and cemeteries, and committing violent acts, including rape. This marked the end of the Greek community in the city with no reparations ever given.
This is why, as a millennial Turk, I completely gave up on Turkey. Erdoğan and his neo-Ottomanism is one thing — it is a cancer. But what do you do when even the secular/laicist Turks are racist like this? Turkey is unfortunately unfixable. It is a sociological aberration. Maybe with the influence of the Internet it’ll be a a normal place someday but even that would take a century.

“With no reparations ever given”
That’s the thing, these mfuckers got away and continue to get away with everything.
It’s almost like the world rewards them for their crimes. That’s how it feels.
