Re: Regional geopolitics
This strange, vague, and rather dubious story originated in Greek newspaper reports and message boards last year.
Taking old newspaper clippings at face value is not research or investigation.
Since Greece's economy became a basket-case, its population (on-line ones anyway) seems to have again started dreaming irredentist dreams of that lost Greater Greece. They are even borrowing and recycling old Armenian material. Look here: http://www.enet.gr/?i=news.el.article&id=385632 Vereshchagin's 1871 painting "Apotheosis of War", much beloved in Armenian propaganda produced in the 1920s to the 1950s as a photograph of real dead Armenians murdered by Turks, is here claimed to be real dead Greeks murdered by Ataturk.
