Sabri Atman, representative of the Seyfo Center, has been invited to
Greece to lecture about Seyfo- the genocide on Assyrians during the
First World War.
Apart from Assyrians and Armenians, also Greeks were murdered
during Seyfo. Before Seyfo approximately 3 million Greeks lived in
Turkey. The Black Sea coast was demographically dominated by Pontic
Greeks. Today there are no Pontic Greeks living at the Black Sea coast
of Turkey. Before 1915, the Christian minorities constituted 1/3 of
the country’s population. Today the Christians are approximately only
80,000 in Turkey, a country with a population of 70 millions.
All Christians, Assyrians, Armenians and Greeks were either murdered
or subjected to ethnical cleansing.
Sabri Atman’s trip to Greece has been noticed by Assyrian media. Ahna
Media in Holland and the Radio program Qolo in Sweden have interviewed
Sabri Atman. During the interview, Sabri Atman said that the trauma
caused by Seyfo is still very strong and evident in Greece.
