A CENTENARY OF THE ASIA MINOR DISARSTER



Visitors to the 86th Thessaloniki International Fair will have the opportunity to learn about the darkest part of Greek history, the Asia Minor Disaster of 1922  in an exhibition that marks the centenary since the events unfolded. 

The exhibition "AEON in Ionia, Thrace and Pontus" will take visitors on an audio-visual journey that spans moments of the lives of Ethnic Greeks living in Turkey before the forced exchange of populations, the refugees fleeing from Asia Minor, Thrace, and Pontus to Greece after the Greek genocide by the Ottoman Turks. The burning of Smyrna.   It is terrible for us, Greeks, to have such aggressive neighbors.    

Erdogan daily says that Greece opposes Turkey which is a great lie, it is exactly the opposite.   He refers to unlikely events that happened in 1922 which are completely imaginary. He says that the Turks pushed the Greeks into the Aegean sea.    

 Fortunately,  Greece, the European Union, and the USA are opposed to Turkey and are going to put further sanctions on the Turkish government.
