Pontian Genocide
Olga,
An excellent post indeed! As a descendant of Pontic Greeks from Kerasounda, I feel happy to see the younger generation pay such meticulous attention to the tragedies of our history despite efforts to brainwash us all. These are memories that shape peoples' destinies. Forgetting what happened in Greek Pontus sets us up for similar catastrophes in the future. Greek governments though think it's desirable to erase these memories. And we will eventually pay the price of NOT trying to reverse the trend and send those promoting to the proverbial dustbin of history. Again, congratulations.
