On 106th Anniversary of Pontic Greek Genocide, Bethnahrin National Council Urges Reckoning with History - Syriac Press
- On May 19, 2025, the Bethnahrin National Council released a statement commemorating over a century since the beginning of the Pontic Greek genocide in Anatolia and Mesopotamia.
- The MUB linked the genocide and related violence starting May 19, 1919, to a broader Turkish nationalist campaign aiming to erase indigenous Christian populations.
- The statement detailed mass killings, forced deportations, destruction of property, and policies of Turkification and religious nationalism that suppress cultural freedoms today.
- The MUB declared that “The future must be built on truth” and highlighted hundreds of thousands of deaths alongside systematic state denial as an obstacle to democratic reform.
- The Council called on Turkey to acknowledge its historical crimes and move away from policies that marginalize minorities, promoting instead an era of inclusivity and respect for human dignity.
