veliki-rat: “Turks Slaughter Christian Greeks”, The Lincoln Daily Star (article), October 19, 1917 (source). The Greek genocide began at roughly the same time as the Armenian genocide in the early part of the First World War, with mass deportations, executions, and the destruction of Greek historical and religious monuments. By 1923, between 750,000 and 900,000 Greeks perished. According Niall Ferguson, in The War of the World, the Ottoman minister of war Ismail Enver declared in 1915 that he wanted to “solve the Greek problem during the war… in the same way he believe[d] he solved the Armenian problem.” -- source link
