Finlay: Greeks seized infants from their mother's breasts and dashed them against rocks. Children, three and four years old, were hurled living into the sea and left to drown. When the massacre was ended, the dead bodies washed ashore or piled on the beach https://t.co/FdPA4lfIzt

Finlay: Turk Women, wounded with musket balls and saber-cuts,rushed to the sea, seeking to escape, and were deliberately shot by Greeks.

Massacres of Monemvasia!

Muslims of the small town of Monemvasia, besieged by the Greek rebels, decided in August 1821 to surrender. Nevertheless, the rebels slaughtered them all barbarously. These events were hailed in Western Europe as "a victory of liberalism and Christianity

The Greeks at Navarino massacred the Turks; Killed men,women, children in their beds; Turkish women raped, cut off their legs/arms and thrown from the walls; at the open prostitution of the surviving Turkish boys and the unashamed offers of the Greeks to share their pleasures. 

As for the Europeans it merely served to confirm their opinion that the Greeks were not only barbarians but cowards as well....(86)

💥 Navarino Massacre! A German volunteer, Franz Lieber, describes how the volunteers felt hatred and disgust towards the Greek rebels, who were calling upon them to rape Turkish women after they themselves had already sexually assaulted them https://t.co/8kYCUMZdKw 

Navarino Massacre!

A few days later the same fate befell the Muslims of Navarino. Between 2,000 and 3,000 Muslim residents were cruelly massacred. Meanwhile, some Greeks in Navarino were proudly relating the terrible massacres that had taken place there. 

Acrocorinth Massacre!

Towards the end of January 1822, more than 1,500 Turks and other Muslims at Acrocorinth agreed to surrender to the rebels, provided that they could keep enough money to hire neutral vessels for their journey to Asia Minor. 

Acrocorinth Massacre:But, while they were waiting for ships to arrive, rebels under the leadership of Kolokotronis and others killed them.

They didn't pity.

And one more detail:the vast majority of Greek national heroes are Orthodox Albanians.

Acrocorinth massacred!

Ahmed Paşa Mosque, Gördüs, the Acropolis of ancient Corinth. 15th century Ottoman mosque of Muslim Corinth, left to decay after the massacre and expulsion of locals during the century-long genocide of Greek Muslims 1821-1923.

So you call the genocide as "independence", don't you @kmitsotakis?

It's maybe the time for the reconsideration. 

#1821Genocide

#1821PeloponneseGenocide 

Let's see what W. Allison Phillips writes for the Tripolitsa Genocide.

The poem, which takes the Greek national anthem from the Greek revolution of 1821, is the most brutal and bloody anthem in the world. It is full of sentences referring to the dismemberment of organs and beheadings referring to the Turkish genocide.

Note: Usually the first four continents are read. But it is the longest national anthem in the world.

Kolokotronis, head of the #massacre, says "from the gate to the citadel my horse's hoofs never touched the ground"

Tripolitsa massacre. Greek criminals.Genocide, Muslims and Jews by Greeks. Greeks generally exterminated the non-Orthodox population in territories they took, claiming revenge for some past events, as justification for their actions. One of the largest ethnic cleansing in history.

Greek tell about these genocides without regret about the crimes of ethnic cleansing that took place on islands such as Monemvasia and Crete. And At the beginning of the 1800s, the Greeks committed the genocides of Tripolitsa, Peloponnese, Acrocorinth, which historians agree with
