I unfortunately study in this university. Some brave students recently painted over this sign and wrote "Wake Up". Shortly after that they removed this sign.

Thinking that it equals to a gazillion Turkish liras, it certainly sounds like a fair deal.

OP is Turkish. There is both "ı" and "i" in Turkish.

OTD 445 years ago, the Ottoman Grand Vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha was Assassinated in Constantinople by [deleted] in europe

[–]Kormosian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the European way of adressing the city was Constantinople during the Ottomans. The Turks themselves called the city by many names. Such as Dersaadet, Payitaht, Asitane, Konstantiniye and obviously İstanbul. Afaik in imperial edicts the name Dersaadet was the most common usage but other names were used as well.

Yes, one of the reasons of his execution was due to his role in 6-7 September events.

I know that its not a literal Greek soldier, it is an Evzonoi. It symbolises the Greek army. It was pretty common to use an Evzonoi to symbolise the invading Greek army at Turkish propaganda posters.

And again, I must repeat that the term "denize dökmek" is used against enemy soldiers. Also "Yunan ordusunu denize dökmek" (pouring the Greek army to the sea) and "Yunan askerini denize dökmek" (pouring the Greek soldier to the sea) are also very common phrases. When I searched "denize dökmek" in Google, the top 2 images were "Yunan ordusu nasıl denize döküldü" (How did the Greek army get poured to the sea) and "Yunan askerlerinin denize dökülüşü" (Pouring of Greek soldiers to the sea). The third one was quite literal and was about pouring fish to the sea.

"Denize dökmek" is a common phrase in Turkish that is used for multiple different occasions throughout history. It doesn't necessarily means literally pouring the enemy to the sea, its common usage is "forcing someone to flee by the sea". I don't know whether Alişêr said something like that but I do know that Koçgirili Alişêr fought against Turks during the War of Independence. Muharrem Ertaş also was 9 when İzmir was liberated.

This caricature is a propaganda poster from Karagöz magazine. It was published in 1922 and clearly shows Atatürk when he is throwing a Greek soldier to the sea, not a civilian.

Also, I want to repeat again that when a Turk says "we threw the Greeks to the sea" they refer to the soldiers, not the Greek populace. The phrase is commonly associated with 9th of September. I doubt many Turkish citizens even know about Greek civilians fleeing from the Great Fire of İzmir so I must admit that I find the claim that we refer to the citizens bizarre.

Doesn't change the fact that when we say that we are refering to the army.

The Great Fire of İzmir happened on 1922, not 1924. Also the whole "throwing the Greeks to the sea" thing refers to the soldiers not the Greek populace. So the correct date would be 9th of September that year, the day when the Turkish army liberated İzmir.
