Am 6. und 7. September 1955 überfielen marodierende Türken griechische und armenische Besitztümer in Istanbul, zerstörten Tausende von Geschäften, Schulen, Kirchen und Friedhöfen und begingen Gewalttaten, darunter auch Vergewaltigungen. Dies bedeutete das Ende der griechischen Gemeinschaft in der Stadt, ohne dass jemals Wiedergutmachung geleistet wurde.
This is why, as a millennial Turk, I completely gave up on Turkey. Erdoğan and his neo-Ottomanism is one thing — it is a cancer. But what do you do when even the secular/laicist Turks are racist like this? Turkey is unfortunately unfixable. It is a sociological aberration. Maybe with the influence of the Internet it’ll be a a normal place someday but even that would take a century.
