Changing of the Guards ceremony on Pontian Greek Genocide Memory Day
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- The Changing of the Guards ceremony was held at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Athens, with the Evzones of the Presidential Guard dressed in the traditional costume of the Pontic Greeks, during the official event for the Pontian Greek Genocide Memory Day.
Annually on May 19 in Greece and around the world, memorial services are held to honor memory of the Pontian Greek Genocide victims. In 1994 the Hellenic Parliament recognized and condemned the genocide of more than 600 thousand Pontian Greeks. Records kept mainly by priests show a minimum 350,000 Pontian Greeks exterminated by Turkish troops and Kurdish militias during 1915-1923. Other sources including foreign missionaries mention 500,000 deaths, most through deportation and forced marches into the Anatolian desert. Greek cities (Pafra, Samsous, Kerasous, and Trapezous) endured massacres and deportations that destroyed their populations. The Pontic Genocide is one of the darkest moments in Greece’s history and has been recognized by Armenia, Greece, Cyprus, Sweden and the Artsakh Republic.

My wife's relatives were from Greece, it's nice to understand a bit more about the history. The genocide was terrible, may we never ever forget the truth of what really happened. History is important and truth is important. Fascinating film, thank you. 💙🇬🇷💙🇬🇷💙

The turks living in trabzon sinop and samson must know that their homes belong to the Greek Pontiac people
First of all: If any pontosgreeks read this, comment the city you come from (in modern Turkey), I am very curious.
Now to the topic: Most of the turks living in Trabzon, Sinop or Samsun are pontosgreeks themselves. Some of them can speak and understand Romeika. They play horon, have a very special culture but define themselves as turkish citizens (there are no problems with the ethnicity). Some of them are called "laz" but the numbers are way bigger, laz are especially those who live in Trapezunt (Trabzon) but you can find pontosgreeks in other cities too. The only difference is that they converted to Islam centuries ago, because of this they could stay in Turkey. The population exchange was about the religion, not the genetic heritage. You can find many documentaries about this topic.
Long story short: Pontosgreeks in general never left Turkey, they are still there. 😉 I am one of them.
@@bla4601 so you speak Greek or dialect of Greek to be more accurate
@@stateofconstatinopole8316 No, it is called Romeika but you are not wrong. It is more like ancient Greek. To understand it you need to look at our history, thousands of years ago ancient Greeks from Megara came to the blacksea and established their own cities. After this, the greek language here developed without the influence of the greek language you speak now. So both now seperated languages had different influences. It is very unique, you could maybe understand 10% of it because it has more similiarities with the ancient greek language. You can google the pontic greek language.
BTW, there is a very good documentation of a greek linguist explaining everything. Maybe you can find it if you google it.
@@UmaiAna98 armenian is it's own think Kurdish is an iranian language albanian is ilirian that means older then turkey laz is basicly georgian circasians are native caucasian people and Pontiac is there before turks were in central Asia but they were influenced a lot by Turkish during the ottoman occupation they are a Greek dialect and are greeks as much as the Greek of cyprus and north epirus and there are so many Turkic languages and you said all that are not 😂 just becuase of their religion doesent make them turks
@@bla4601 btw im not Pontiac Greek im half aromanian half constatinopolitan but I have some Pontiac friends and some of they are from samsounta I'm no sure how (it's called in Turkish) and rize

Did you know that these are traditional costumes stolen by the Greeks from the Albanian fighters who liberated Greece?
@@olindodragoti proof?
@@olindodragoti these costumes are based on the ancient Greek traditional "chiton". Google "fustanella etymology" and see where the word comes from. Albanians stole it from Greece. (Albanian fustanella is also different. The Greek fustanella is shorter than the Albanian one).
@@olindodragoti i dont know bro but i love Greek albania countries no hater
There is a simple explanation: The Ottomans took what little the Albanians had and left them naked; we Greeks took pity on them and lent them some of our clothes - and, because no good deed ever goes unpunished, now, a couple of centuries later, they claim the Greek costume as their own...
Goosebumps....
try to be more serious with your comments when you talk about the Greeks
@@sahlarelizade3834 first try to learn Greek history well and then you can ask me why.... 👺
@@sahlarelizade3834 WHAT GOD HAS TO DO WITH THIS VIDEO......?
@@sahlarelizade3834 depends on what god we are talking about and as a Greek who does honor his history and cultural legacy more than them people who adopted a foreign brought deity i can say Zeus laughs about Christ up on his mount Olympus
@@galadballcrusher8182 I don't know about that. The majority of Greeks are Orthodox Christians, with a minority of other religions by people who aren't of Greek ethnicity. Primarily immigrants from the middle East and Asia Minor
Who would dislike this video tf

@@olindodragoti No they're not.
Just because Greek Vlachs traveled to Albanian doesn't mean you guys have a part in Greek culture or race heritage we're different deal with that.
Also stop writing about stupid comments about the uniforms everyone knows Greek minorities history.
Pure Art!
What is difrence between black, brown and white uniform?
And why the pontian not carry rifle?
The brown one is the summer uniform.They wore that during the balcan wars.The white one is the official uniform.They wear that during the Sunday changing of the guards and on national holidays and when they are welcoming foreign leaders in the presintential mansion.The black one is the Pontian uniform and it'snot an official one that's why they don't carry rifles.They wear it to honour the Pontian Greek warriors.There is also 2 other uniforms - The Cretan and the uniform of the Macedonian warriors(that's their winter uniform)
@@taurus167 are the pontian part of military or not?

Anastasia. I was given a costume doll from Greece 🇬🇷 as a little girl, and was told it was a Greek soldier. It's marvelous after all these years to get to understand more about the uniform. Very very proud of my Greek ancestry and miss my connection with them as now all have passed away Memory eternal memory eternal

Are Pontian Greeks greek?
Yes they are from the colonies established around 500BC but they were forced out in 1923, they always spoke Greek and still do, it’s closer to Ancient than Modern Greek actually
For all intense and purposes yes.
We are usually calling the Greeks just Greeks but this is not exactly accurate. The accurate term is Ellines. Because there are many types of Greeks since antiquity, but they are all Ellines. Just like Texans and Californians are all Americans.
There are Peloponnesian Greeks, Epirote Greeks, thessalian Greeks, Macedonian Greeks, Asia minor Greeks, Islander Greeks, Cretan Greeks, Cypriot Greeks and pontic Greeks...
Are sea spanges spanges?
All are Turkish people
ZITO I ELLAS

Lord Byron: - Albanians in their National Costumes are the greatest in the World !
Now fustanella in Greece, a traditional bastardized Albanian costume!
The traditional Albanian dress was stolen by the greeks at the time of the creation of the state after the revolution of 1821 and this was done at the request of King Otto. !

olindo drnagoti - Arnavut...
Why do greeks use traditional turkish wardrobe.
?
Is Not turkish is Pontian Greek Lyra , Turks killed 1.500.000 Armenians and 353.000 Pontos Greeks Genocide
What is the turkish costume u see and why u do not respect the ceremony for the deads and u write such nonsense
@FabTurtelwho says the armenians were only 1300000? Greeks when the turks invaded the byzantine empire in 1100 were 20 millions. When greeks were liberated after 10 centuries only 2 millions were left.. imagine the toll of the genocide forced mixing rapes and islamization.. armenians had a state also in cilicia what happened to them ah??? What happened to armenians around Ararat what happ ned in van?
Naturally under 400 years of occupation they are bound to be influenced by some way such as how Greek culture influenced Turkey, Turkish Culture influenced the Balkans as a whole
