Η 19η Μαΐου παγκόσμια ημέρα θυμάτων του Κεμαλισμού
Θ. Μαλκίδης
Η 19η Μαΐου Παγκόσμια ημέρα θυμάτων του Κεμαλισμού
Ο Οργανισμός Ηνωμένων Εθνών το 2008, ανακήρυξε την 27η Ιανουαρίου ως Παγκόσμια Ημέρα Μνήμης των Θυμάτων του Ολοκαυτώματος. Ο Φασισμός, ο Ναζισμός, ο Χίτλερ σχεδίασε και υλοποίησε εγκλήματα που όμοιά του δεν γνώρισε σε έκταση και βαρβαρότητα ο ανθρώπινος βίος. Ειδικότερα στην Ελλάδα οι τόποι μαρτυρίου είναι ατέλειωτοι: Δίστομο, Καλάβρυτα, Κάνδανος, Βιάννου, Χορτιάτης, Πύργοι, Μεσόβουνο, όπου άνδρες, γυναίκες και παιδιά, σφαγιάστηκαν με τον πιο βάρβαρο τρόπο.
Ωστόσο τα εγκλήματα των Ναζί είχαν υπόβαθρο, είχαν ιδεολογία και προπαρασκευή, που επειδή δεν τιμωρήθηκαν επαναλήφθηκαν. Είχαν προϊστορία στο Κεμαλικό καθεστώς, το οποίο όπως έχουμε αποδείξει σχεδίασε, οργάνωσε και εκτέλεσε το ίδιο σχέδιο μαζικής εξόντωσης: Έλληνες, Αρμένιοι, Ασσύριοι.....
Η πρόταση του Μιχάλη Χαραλαμπίδη για ανακήρυξη της 19ης Μαΐου ως παγκόσμιας ημέρας θυμάτων του Κεμαλισμού, έρχεται να αναδείξει διεθνώς την πολιτική τιμωρίας των πρωτεργατών του πρόδρομου του Ναζισμού, του Κεμαλισμού δηλαδή της φασιστικής και ρατσιστικής αντίληψης, που οργάνωσε και εκτέλεσε τα Ολοκαυτώματα ενάντια στους ιστορικούς λαούς της Μικράς Ασίας. Η πρόταση αυτή έρχεται να συναντήσει τους δημοκράτες όλου του κόσμου ακόμη και στην ίδια την Τουρκία που αγωνίζονται για τη δικαιοσύνη, την αλήθεια και την ιστορία, ενάντια στην προπαγάνδα και την άρνηση.
Η διατήρηση της μνήμης αποτελεί επίσης ασπίδα προστασίας για το μέλλον. Η πραγματικότητα των πορείων στα τάγματα εργασίας που οργάνωσαν οι Νεότουρκοι και οι Κεμαλικοί, που λίγο αργότερα έγιναν Ναζιστικά στρατόπεδα συγκέντρωσης και θανάτου, μας υπενθυμίζει ότι πρέπει να είμαστε πάντα σε επαγρύπνηση για νέα Ολοκαυτώματα.
Η διεθνής κοινότητα απέτυχε να αποτρέψει τα Ολοκαυτώματα, εναντίον των Ελλήνων, των Αρμενίων, των Εβραίων, των Ασσυρίων και άλλων λαών, γι΄αυτό και επαναλήφθηκαν.
Η σημερινή Διεθνής Ημέρα Μνήμης για τα θύματα του Ολοκαυτώματος και η αναγκαιότητα ανακήρυξης της 19ης Μαΐου ως Παγκόσμιας ημέρας θυμάτων του Κεμαλισμού είναι η νίκη της μνήμης έναντι της λήθης. Σηματοδοτεί σε όλον τον κόσμο τη συνέχεια του αγώνα για την ανάδειξη των Ολοκαυτωμάτων και την αποτροπή για διάπραξη και άλλων Γενοκτονιών και εγκλημάτων κατά της ανθρωπότητας στο μέλλον. Είναι η Νίκη της Ζωής εναντίον των ιδεολογιών του Θανάτου.
The
19th of May, a National Day of Remembrance for the Genocide of Pontian
Greeks by a decision of the Greek Parliament in 1994, marks our modern
history. On this day in 1919, the second phase of the eradication of the
Hellenism of Pontus began, scathing every sense of humanism and took
the form of a national tragedy, since 353.000 souls perished unjustly,
whilst forcing thousands of Greeks to go abroad.
The tragedy of the Greeks of Pontus, a day we honor, fulfills all conditions of the United Nations’ Agreement to qualify as Genocide. We ask nothing more than the restoration of historical truth, along the Genocide of the Armenian and all Christian people in the beginning of the last century, including the Holocaust of the Jewish People. Let’s not forget that the World Academic Union, the most qualified committee for the recognition of genocides, decided in 2007 that the Genocide of the Greeks of Pontos has in fact taken place. At the same time, the European Parliament requested two years ago from Turkey to come to terms with its historic past.
This day calls all Greeks-wherever they are- to pay national tribute. It is another chance to remind everyone that we will not stand silent and we will stand by the Greeks of Pontus worldwide, in their efforts for the international recognition of the Genocide of Pontic Greeks which will ensure the avoidance of such tragic events in the future. The recognition of the Genocide of Pontian Greeks from the Swedish Parliament, ten states of the United States and the State of South Australia, a result of the continuous efforts of the Pontic Greeks of our Diaspora, equip us with courage to continue this struggle for justice.
The recent visit of the Prime Minister of Turkey in Greece, was characterized by both sides as a historical one. We salute the intention expressed by the Prime Minister of Greeks, George Papandreou and the Prime Minister of Turkey, Tayip Erdogan, to work together in order to enhance cooperation and solve many issues of the past, so that we can achieve peace and reconciliation. It’s the least we can do for our future generations.

19th
of May an International Remembrance Day of
Kemalism victims, 1 million Greeks, 1,5 million Armenians, 350,000
Assyrians, as 27 of January is the International memorial day commemorating the victims of the Holocaust.
19th of May, the
International Remembrance Day of Kemalism
victims urges every member nation of the United
Nation to honor the memory of victims, and encourages the
development of educational and other programs about Genocide
history to help prevent future acts of mass crime.
It rejects any denial of
the Greek, the Armenian, the Assyrian, Genocide
as an event and condemns all manifestations of religious intolerance,
incitement, harassment or violence against persons or communities
based on ethnic origin or religious belief.
It also calls for actively
preserving the Genocide sites that served
as Kemalism death camps, concentration
camps, forced labor camps and prisons, as well as for establishing a
United Nations programme of outreach and
mobilization of society for Genocide
remembrance and education.
19th
of May, the International Day in memory of the Kemalism
victims of the Genocide is thus a
day on which we must reassert our commitment to human rights.
We must also go beyond
remembrance, and make sure that new generations know this history. We
must apply the lessons of the Genocide to
today’s world. And we must do our utmost so that all peoples may
enjoy the protection and rights for which the Humanity stands.
