19 May Pontian-Greek Genocide
Greek genocide also known as the Pontic genocide, was the systematic killing of the Greek population of the Ottoman Empire during World War I and its aftermath (1914–1923). It was instigated by the government of the Ottoman Empire against the Greek population of the Empire and it included massacres, forced deportations involving death marches, summary expulsions, arbitrary executions, and destruction of Christian Orthodox cultural, historical and religious monuments.
Other ethnic groups were similarly attacked by the Ottoman Empire during this period, including Assyrians and Armenians.
May God rest in peace the victims…
