REVEALING BOOK on the Turkish persecution of the Greeks: The liberation of the Greek people in Turkey – An appeal issued by the London committee of unredeemed Greeks

Greek Genocide Resource Center

The following 11 page booklet, “The liberation of the Greek people in Turkey – An appeal issued by the London committee of unredeemed Greeks,” was published in 1919 by the London Committee of Unredeemed Greeks who were calling for Europe and the British government to support the liberation of the Greeks living in Turkey. The booklet is presented in 22 points. Point 22 reads:

“It is on behalf of that part of the Greek race which is still under the Turkish yoke; it is on behalf of unredeemed Greeks in Constantinople, Thrace and Asia Minor that we venture to make an earnest appeal to Liberal public opinion in Europe, and more especially to the British public, the lover of freedom, and the champion of oppressed nationality and of the cause of civilisation throughout the world.

“It is inconceivable that the end of a great war, which was fought and won for the cause of freedom and the principle of nationalities, should leave such a very large number of intelligent industrious, cultured and freedom-loving Christians under the brutal power of the Turk. We may also say that the deliverance of the unredeemed Greeks would be in accordance with one of Mr. Wilson’s fourteen points, and that a lasting peace cannot be expected to reign in the East until that happy consummation has been attained.”
