The
Genocide : Crime against Humanity
Paper
(part). Conference “Province
of Trebizond during and after the World War I and Pontos Question
“.Ankara, April 2016.
The
Greek Genocide is one of the biggest crimes against humanity which
still remains unpunished.
The
first phase of the Greek Genocide is traced in 1908 and lasts until
the beginning of World War I.
The
second period of the Greek Genocide is from 1914 to 1918. The
Young-Turk government orders a number of actions taken in order to
further continue the extermination of the Greeks, together with the
Armenians .
The
period from 1919 to 1923 was the third, last and more intense face of
the Genocide, as the establishment of Mustafa Kemal (Attaturk) in the
interior of the Ottoman state which is coincident with the
establishment of the Soviet Union and the aid provided towards the
nationalistic movement of Mustafa Kemal, as well as the change of
course in the exterior policy affairs of the great European forces.
Between
1908 and 1923 1.000.000 from more than 2.570.000 Greeks (census
1914) were lost due to massacres, deportations and marches of death.
This premeditated destruction of the 50 of
the Greeks, constitutes genocide according to the criteria of U.N.
(article 2 of the Convention, paragraphs a, b, c, d and e).

The
Greek Genocide is a political issue and its international extension
refers to the commitment of all the institutions of the International
community, to the states and the international organizations to
recognize the offence of genocide which was committed at the expense
of the Greeks and to restore, this way, the huge moral damage they
suffered. The international crime of genocide opposes
responsibilities not only on the state which committed it, but also
to the whole international community:
a)
For not recognizing a situation created by global crime as legal;
b)
For not helping the performance of an international crime to maintain
the illegal situation and ;
c)
To help other countries with the application of the obligations
above. That is, it imposes on the international community the
obligation not to recognize an illegal situation as a result of
Genocide .
__________________________
Nowadays,
when other nations suffer genocides from racist states, it is time
for the first step to be taken to recognize the crime of Greek
genocide of the. On the other hand, the contemporary Turkish state
has to answer for the Greek Genocide , without making propaganda and
pleads inconsistency as a state in order to be exculpated from the
charge. Turkish state, as the creation of Mustafa Kemal, and the
Young Turks are responsible for the crime of Genocide. Each nation
has the right to intensely demand from the authorities of the crimes
and offences committed against it to recognize them.
Recognition, which is a substantial way to fight against Genocide;
recognition which constitutes the confirmation of a nation’s right
to the respect of its existence according to the international law
and the historic truth.
