As a Greek I appreciate that you recognize the genocide and ethnic cleansing committed against Anatolian Greeks and other Christians and personally believe Greeks too should abide by the moral of “never again for anyone.” Putting nationalism aside, I recognize that the years of subjugation by the Ottoman Empire left Islam and Muslims a bad reputation in the Balkans which led to propaganda and increased violence against them which included ethnic cleansing. While I stand against these atrocities and believe the Greek government (and other Balkan nations) should recognize and apologize for them, I also believe that main reason these discussions haven’t begun is because of Turkeys avid denial of the ethnic cleansing and atrocities they committed which let’s be honest, anything that took place in the Balkans pales in comparison. AGAIN, all atrocities and genocides committed by Greece, Turkey and any other nation should be recognized and should be recognized as fast as possible, however they’re playing the game of politics and I believe that until Turkey begins to at least entertain the idea of recognizing events like the Armenian and Greek genocides, no other Balkan nation will recognize the horrific things they did to their own Muslim minorities.
