They don’t need a reason, but just shoot up the place and kill people for very slight or unknown reasons.

Some people think Putin is trying to rebuild the Russian empire. This could get interesting as the Russians can be very brutal.

It took the Vietnamese to end that and China threw a major hissy fit when the Vietnamese ousted China’s man Pol.

No disagreement. My point was that Greeks setteled there and Hellenized the locals.

And the evil bastard died without ever have to answer for his crimes. I would have liked to have seen him slooooowly choked to death with a plastic bag around his head.

"Imagine a life where its a crime to celebrate or reveal your ethnic heritage; where the law requires you to abandon your ways and culture and meld invisibly into one indistinguishable mass with the majority, or suffer the consequences. And woe to anyone caught reading, speaking, dressing as, or playing music of another culture. Welcome to Asia Minor during the early part of the 20th century. It was during this grim period when over 1.5 million Armenians were systematically exterminated... Greeks also fell victim to the same Ottoman campaign of systematic extermination of Christians before, during and after World War I (19141923). According to the Greek Genocide Research Center, atrocities against Greek people during that period included massacres, forced deportations and death marches, summary expulsions, boycotts, rape, forced conversion to Islam, conscription into labor battalions, arbitrary executions, and destruction of Christian Orthodox cultural, historical and religious monuments.
The more things change, the more they remain the same. It seems a large part of modern history has been about repelling islam and a large part of islam has been about atrocities.

Yup , the English Destroyer just anchored a mile offshore and watched doing nothing

There is a very good book about the destruction of Smyrna called Paradise Lost. A beautiful and prosperous multi-ethnic city destroyed.

“How the Greek CHRISTIAN Presence on the Aegean Shore Came to an End” would be a more apt title

Worse imho. The city burned for days, thousands of people died trying to escape and the Turkish army engaged in horrible atrocities. All the while ships from several countries sat in the harbor and were ordered by their government to do nothing.
