24.3.2024 In Etnos newspaper, Nikos Gianidis says, "Our identity is taken out of the garbage dump of history." In that garbage dump of history, there are also Hittites, etc. There is no one who denies ancient Greece. However, in his book in 1834, Jacob Philipp Fallmerayer also says that these so-called Greeks have nothing to do with ancient Greece and are a Slavic state. Dr. Georgios Nakracas also says the same thing. Now Edi Rama and Macedonia are saying it openly... It is not possible to keep Greece alive with the Greeks remaining in history. Bulgarians are the first Turks to become Muslims. Pomaks and Çıtaks were Turks. 500 since There were Avar, Pecheneg, Bulgarian, Cuman-Kipchak and Uz Turks in the Balkans, Central Europe and Anatolia. Since there was no Islam, they became Orthodox.

Greece is a project vassal state whose people formed later on according to Greek Project from Rums of mid and east Türkiye. Natives like Slavs, Macedonians, Vlahs, Arvanites, Albans all are victims of this project. in 1930 no1 was speaking any Rum language. Ask Prince Otto of Bavaria.
I'm guessing there will be a few very smart kids that absolutely can learn the challenging curriculum. There are a lot of Europeans that can handle three or four languages just fine.
Here is the most important part. 13:58. "Here the mother tongue is pomak". In other words bulgarian. They are trying to convert these people even though they already mixed up with the muslim conversion during the middle ages. "Pomak" in bulgarian means a confused person. They are trying to turn Europeans into middle easterners
Поздрави на признателност и уважение към нашите братя мюсюлмани от България - вашият брат от Тунис от Северна Африка - ние сме една нация и една религия -
Si tu me permets. Je peux te donner un bref résumé des 27 dernières années. Le gouvernement grec avait initié un program clandestin d'assimiler les Pomaks, surtout les jeunes femmes, à la culture grecque pour qu'elle puisse s'éloigner des griffes des Imams et du gouvernement turc (voir le Traité de Lausanne). Donc, le gouvernement grec a subventionné ces jeunes madames pomak en les emmener étudier à Athenes pourqu'elle puisse s'accomoder à la cultures de l'ouest et de s'évader des menottes musulmanes. Je croix que la mission a réussi car j'avais revisité ces régions en 2015 avec ma famille québecoise depuis mon service militaire en 1988 et j'étais étonné comment la culture a changée. Les jeunes femmes ne sont plus voilées (sauf quelques exceptions), les pomaks ont leur propres emissions radiophoniques, il me semble qu'ils sont plus libres sans être acharnés par les leader musulmans d'origine turc. Est-ce qu'il y a encore de l'amélioration à faire, c'est certain; cependant, l'assimiliation dans la culture grecque est prévalante malgré à ce que des réseaux de propagandes provenant d'Istanbul, comme TRT World disent.
The ,,film" doesn't reflect the objective truth. Do not get fooled! If you are interested and want to know anything about the pomaks do your own research. There's plenty and all backed up with solid evidences. Greetings from Bulgaria
They know, which ethnic group they belong to. Their language clearly shows it 😉 Btw, did you know there are pomak people not just in this region....and guess which language they speak although they are hundreds of kilometres away from the Rhodopi mountains and Trace... Greetings from Bulgaria People should educate themselves 😊
That's what you decide for us to believe!!! This a very sick situation!!! But keep in mind God is recording all of it around the world for his judgment!!!
Turkey and Greece are doing everything possible to assimilate those people- and we all know they are bulgarians. All historical records clearly show they are bulgarians. What Greece and Turkey want to repeat the macedonian experiment.
Това видео е абсолютно невярно. "Помак" е дума, която означава " потурчен" българин. Внушението, че това е отделена етническа група е заплатено от чужди правителства, които имат интерес да създадат етнически проблем в България и Гърция. Тази каша от информация е абсолютно невярна и злонамерена. Всички потурчени, т. е. насила ислямизирани села, имат запазени своите предишни български и гръцки имена. Не съществува език на помаците. Те говорят само своите родни езици - гръцки и български, а Турция се опитва да заграби територии. Създаването на изкуствени нации е стара западна практика. Но такава етническа група никога не е съществувала. Не използвайте невежествотопна западната публика. Помаците, специално в България, са принуждавани, с масови кланета на цели села, да приемат исляма и тези кланета над това, чисто българско, население, са документирани, от българите, но и от турската тогавашна власт. Спрете да разпространявате лъжи и се справяйте с исляма в собствените си страни, а ако желаете, ппеподавайте във Франция на турски и арабски език. И как така наричате България и Гърция Тракия. Държава Тракия не е съществувала, това е Обединено название на над 120 племена на траките, всяко със свои царе, столица и отделно име. Те не съществуват като етническа общност от над 1700 години. Поредното френско безсрамие.
Това е абсолютно несериозно и предубеден опит за направа на някакъв филм....пародия! Гротеската! Пълна подигравка с хората и с реалността. Да не говорим за исторически факти,аргументи и т.н.

@TUNC66 Pomaks are indigenous Thacian populations known from Alexander the Great time. in fact, Greek historians mention their association with Alexander. There has nothing to do with Turks! Original Turks are from Mongolia. Speaking Turkish does not make one Turk !! In fact, most of the people in Thrace who speak Turkish are islamofied Balkan people!!!
@@pantheon56 You did not understand my comment at all, first of all, I never used the word Turk for Pomaks, Pomaks are not Turks, but they are not Greeks at all.And let me tell you, there are many Pomaks in Turkey and Pomaks are Muslims, most of them speak Turkish, and this is enough for us, you Greeks, do not take credit for yourself from the Pomaks, you will be disappointed.
Really disgusting politics of all Europe. These people have the traditions, the songs, the language and the history of all Bulgarian people.They speak a beautiful Bulgarian dialect, they sing the same traditional songs of all Bulgarians and traditions and we share the same history except that they are Muslims.

Why they can be everything else except Bulgarians, you are denying fundamental rights of people living in European Community that's to recognise their nationality? Why?
@@simeonsimeonov5205 they have similar language with Bulgarians yes, due to the forced bulgarisation on Pomaks during the first and second Bulgarian empire. Pomaks have suffered a lot because of Bulgarians and they know that and will say that to u if u tell him « Bulgarians Muslims ». A long time ago when u would say to a Pomak « bugar » it was considered as an insult. Moreover Pomak culture is one of the unique in the world with some Turkish Persians and European pagan influences. DNA prove it too.

These poor hard working people. As usual Greece joins EU & does not care a fig about how it affects honest working people. The Pomaks are our people & we are proud of them. Pomak should be taught in schools instead of Turkish.
Помаци ,,Pomaci” is a not separate nation or another Bulgarian tribe. this is a word / synonym for "Bulgarians with Turkish heads/ self-awareness/ Turcophiles/ or Muslim Bulgarians." For example, there are other Bulgarian words for people who have changed their native consciousness: Влахи/ Власи "Vlachs/ Walachi” = Bulgarians with Roman heads/ Rimophiles. Сърби "Surbi" = Bulgarians with Russian heads/ Russophiles.
Vlachs is not a Bulgarian word. Wlochy in Polish means Italy. Vlachs were named by the Germanic tribes and meant wanderer of Roman origin. Vlachs means now " Romanian" outside Romania
@almeu433 Both of you are wrong. Vlahs actually Aromany, are by genetic origin Greeks from South Italy or Anatholia who were implanted around Balkan after Greeks joined Roman Emrire.

Greetings to our fellow Greek citizens of Muslim faith. Greece has three distinct indigenous Muslim ethnic groups. The largest is the “Turkish background” Muslims which make up approximately 57% of all indigenous Greek Muslims. Next are the Pomaks which make up approximately 33% of indigenous Greek Muslims. The third, final and smallest group of Greek Muslims are Roma who have adopted Islam. (Northern. Greek Roma. Southern Greek Roma tend to be Greek Orthodox.) And make up the remaining 10%. Those are the three indigenous Greek Muslim groups in Greece that make up the “Greek Muslim community.” (These groups are indigenous Greek citizens. And don’t include Muslim migrants from Albania and the Middle East of which there are many in Greece.)
You are a Rum (false Greek) you are an outsider to GR as an immigrant from mid and east Türkiye. if you are not a Rum you are a native arvanite slav macedon vlah etc whose identity and language is denied. You are leg, your giving confort to head not accepted. Pomaks and Turks are natives of that land and they dont need the suffix Greek.
"Migrant" you poor deluded Greek nationalist. The Albanians are an indigenous group in Greece which Greece had genocided for years starting from Arta all the way to Athens. There many local ethnic Albanians in Greece such as Çams, Arvanites and Sulis.
By indigenous I meant not imported recently. Pomaks have lived in Thrace for centuries as Thrace has changed borders between Greece, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire. But the Pomaks have always existed on both sides of the borders of Greece and Bulgaria. Although Bulgaria previously had more Pomaks than Greece. Don’t know now since many left Bulgaria for Turkey in the 90’s.
What language do they speak, it did sound as Slavic!? North Macedonia's 30% of population are Pomaks, not assimilated, while genetically they much more! They are the first to accept Islam!
Bulgarian slavic language. It's balkan. Religion is very connected with nationality. Bulgarian, serbs and greeks are orthodox christians. That's why this people can't be pure bulgarians. But they can't be turks because language. So they stuck somewhere in between. And they are not isolated case in balkan. In Macedonia live people who call them selfs goranci. They speak slavic lenguage but they are muslims like albanians.
They speack Greeks. But some Pomak may speak Slavic. Et least music is more Slavic when they play begpipe or gajde but if they play tamburas struna playing instrument, they are Greeks.
This so-called "documentary" is a total disaster. Most of the "information" given is either incorrect or distorted. I am an ethnic Turk from the region, and I know these people very well. They are my relatives, my neighbours, and my friends. Their portrayal in this completely disastrous mockumentary is a total joke. Also, Xanthi is not the centre of Thrace; Komotini is. Additionally, when describing a Balkan people like the Pomaks, using such oriental music in the background just because they are Muslims is a huge misrepresentation. Even though they are Muslims, they are a Balkan people and not Middle Eastern.
Do you know the meaning of the word - Pomak. This is a word from the Bulgarian language - pomachen or "pomuchen", pomachen - a person who forcibly becomes someone else. All waves of forced Islamization in the Rhodopes are documented and available in the Ottoman archives. The population is mostly of Bulgarian origin, but there are of course Greeks and Serbs in ader part of Bolkans. A large part of these people have relatives who are still Christians in Bulgaria. I am a Bulgarian Christian and I have Greek roots from Thrace and Constantinople. There is no nationality - pomak, no language - pomak, this is a not tru.
Summary of the Video on the Pomak People The video provides an in-depth look at the Pomak people, an ethnic group living in the mountainous region of Thrace, Greece. It explores their struggles, cultural identity, and the socio-political challenges they face due to their unique position between three countries: Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey. Harsh Living Conditions - The landscape is described as rugged and harsh, with winter conditions making farming difficult. - Pomak men, women, and horses work tirelessly on the land, hoping to produce enough to survive the winter. - The Pomaks are depicted as living under the pressure of three different nations, languages, and religions. Cultural Identity and Education - The Pomak children learn in three different languages but struggle to gain a solid education. Despite attending school, their learning is compromised due to the complexity of the situation. - Women are shown to be largely voiceless and face significant societal constraints, while also expressing a desire for change. Historical Context - The video explains the complicated history of the Pomaks, who are descendants of the Agrianes and have lived in the region long before modern borders were established. - Historical invasions and occupations by Bulgarians, Ottomans, and Greeks have shaped their current predicament. - After World War II, many Pomaks sought attachment to Greece to escape communism, but they remain a minority and face neglect from the Greek government. Struggles for Survival - The Pomaks primarily cultivate tobacco, which is their main source of income. However, government quotas limit their production and income. - The video highlights the physical difficulties of farming in steep terrains and poor weather conditions, exacerbated by a lack of governmental support. - There is a sense of despair among Pomak farmers as they deal with an insufficient economy and loss of traditional ways of life. Cultural Blending and Identity Crisis - The Pomaks navigate a complex cultural landscape where Turkish and Greek influences dominate. - Many young Pomaks feel torn between their traditional identity and modern pressures to assimilate into broader Greek or Turkish society. - Despite attempts to retain their language and customs, the video illustrates the existential threat to Pomak culture posed by external pressures. Conclusion - The video concludes with a poignant reflection on the future of the Pomaks, who are caught between preserving their identity and adapting to external influences. - The ongoing struggle for survival amidst political and economic challenges paints a bleak picture, yet the pride in their heritage remains strong among the Pomak community. This summary encapsulates the key themes and messages presented in the video about the Pomak people, illustrating their resilience in the face of adversity while grappling with issues of identity and survival.
Okay guys lets have a clear discussion he tried to make women look suppressed now let me make a few things very clear those women are not interested in getting filmed that's their modesty but he is trying to take their privacy away. Start from ( 3:50) and you will see women are changing their direction after realizing that they are getting filmed.
Their only right is to remain silence? wtf is this nonsense? I'm pomaks women and cant talk when ever i want where ever i want except while chewing food. This is so funny!
There is a very big mistake regarding the cultivation of tobacco in Thrace. This plant is native to the American continent. It was introduced to Europe by the Spanish in the 16th century. Then, French traders brought it to Ottoman domains. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for the Eastern Romans (Byzantines) to consume it.
This movie is full of errors (when and how this region become part of Greece, the so called christianization and Bulgarization of the Pomaks in 13th century, tobacco admired by Byzantines - really!?). As the villains in this movie are presented the communist Bulgarians and the muslim Turks, while the good Greeks only forbid the use of Pomak's language in public and in schools and did nothing to improve the quality of life for these people in over 80 years of rule over their lands (at the time when this was filmed). I'm shocked that in 50 minutes not a single word or song in Pomaks language was presented in this "documentary".
The second French film I watch about pomaks. In the previous one there was a girl who sang a song in the "incomprehensible" Pomak language according to the journalist - pure archaic Bulgarian language.
This is not even a film....a made up story with 0 knowledge of history, 0 respect for culture and ethical belonging....Full of assumptions and a total nonsense
these people have to learn to do things that work for them rather THAN OLD TRADITIONS WHICH DO NOT WORK FOR THEIR OWN GOOD. they may need to modernised themselves
Pomaks are a Slavic people, closely related to the bulgarians and the hellenized thracians of Thrace, nothing to do with the Albanians. Stop albanizing everything you see.
It's not clear what is the Ahrene's third religion. The narrator mentions three religions of the population several times. Is it Paganism or Heretical Christianity?
The narrator doesn't have a clue what they're talking about. The whole film is a made up story. It doesn't reflect the objective truth. Just don't mind it and don't get fooled, please!

Es ist eine Minderheit. Ansässig in türkischer, wie auch bulgarischer- griechischer Grenze. Je nachdem, auf welcher Seite sie leben, dementsprechend der Pass.
@@ДнкоДудин If we brought you all the books in the libraries, you would not accept them. After the Huns, from 500 onwards, Avars, Bulgars, Cuman-Kipchaks, Pechenegs and Uz Turks came to the Balkans, Central Europe and Anatolia. They became Christians because Islam did not exist yet. The Avars besieged Constantinople in 618 and 626. A prayer called BELLIUM AVARICUM was offered in Constantinople. Prayer is read. This prayer is still sung as the 6th hymn every Easter in Orthodox churches. As you can see, it's Latin/Italian. Greek began to be spoken after the 8th century. If you said Roman Empire, I wouldn't object. Today, there are 40,000 people who remain Catholic in Turkey. There are also Orthodox Bulgarians, Albanians, Macedonians, Serbs and Greeks. However, the ancient Greek we call Greece no longer exists. I'm not saying this. Romans who were Catholics are called Italians today. Due to sectarian conflicts, Orthodox people were called RUM, that is, Romans, but a nation called Greek was invented... Bulgarians, Turks from Central Asia. They were the first Muslims to come to Asia and settle on the Volga. Those who came to the Balkans were Bulgarians who became Slavs... BULGARIANS ARE TURKS. Serbs, Romanians, Macedonians, Albanians, Bosniaks, etc. are not Turks. Pomaks are also Turkish. They are among the Cuman Turks.
Thats why they never change,why they learn turkish if they live in Greece, how they can be successfully if they want to stay a live in Greece when they don't know greek, or to be in university in greece

Donc si je comprends bien : les femmmes Pomaks n'ont qu'un seul droit, "celui de se taire" mais elles peuvent s'exprimer devant la camera d'un journaliste. Drôle de façon de se taire !!!
These are Muslims Slavic people who were persecuted and separated by the Christian Bulgarian. They are ethnically slavic same as any Balkans and Bulgarian but because they accepted Islam the other Slave did not accepted them to be one of them. They have no relations to any Turkic ethnic at all. They are pure Slavic just like Bosnian Muslim.
Don't talk nonsense! There's no Bulgarian that separates Pomaks for any reason. We are both same people with the same language, but different religion.
Помак , означава помъчен човек....за да приеме исляма....когато османлиите са превземали България , преди столетия , с мъчения са налагали исляма на българите...та това представляват помаците - ислямизирани българи!

The narrator's take on this whole situation is awfully slanted and pessimistic. It would be nice if he could have presented things in a more neutral tone, attempting to understand the points of view of all the groups involved and focusing more on the natural strengths of the people. He really drives home his conviction that the Pomaks are helpless victims and everyone around them are just heartless oppressors. Are things ever as simple as that sort of caricature?
the Pomaks were and are the ancient Thracians and they continue to live in the area where they lived then. They have nothing to do with the Mongolian origin of the Turks... it's just that the Turks have found a dirty and cunning way to christen those peoples they had subjugated as Turks ottoman empire you know why.......

Here is the most important part. 13:58. "Here the mother tongue is pomak". In other words bulgarian. They are trying to convert these people even though they already mixed up with the muslim conversion during the middle ages. "Pomak" in bulgarian means a confused person.

Поздрави на признателност и уважение към нашите братя мюсюлмани от България - вашият брат от Тунис от Северна Африка - ние сме една нация и една религия -
De quand date ce reportage ? Presque 30 ans (1997 !) On aimerait savoir comment à évolué leur situation aujourd'hui, en 2024.
Si tu me permets. Je peux te donner un bref résumé des 27 dernières années. Le gouvernement grec avait initié un program clandestin d'assimiler les Pomaks, surtout les jeunes femmes, à la culture grecque pour qu'elle puisse s'éloigner des griffes des Imams et du gouvernement turc (voir le Traité de Lausanne). Donc, le gouvernement grec a subventionné ces jeunes madames pomak en les emmener étudier à Athenes pourqu'elle puisse s'accomoder à la cultures de l'ouest et de s'évader des menottes musulmanes. Je croix que la mission a réussi car j'avais revisité ces régions en 2015 avec ma famille québecoise depuis mon service militaire en 1988 et j'étais étonné comment la culture a changée. Les jeunes femmes ne sont plus voilées (sauf quelques exceptions), les pomaks ont leur propres emissions radiophoniques, il me semble qu'ils sont plus libres sans être acharnés par les leader musulmans d'origine turc. Est-ce qu'il y a encore de l'amélioration à faire, c'est certain; cependant, l'assimiliation dans la culture grecque est prévalante malgré à ce que des réseaux de propagandes provenant d'Istanbul, comme TRT World disent.
Great information and great education

Това видео е абсолютно невярно. "Помак" е дума, която означава " потурчен" българин. Внушението, че това е отделена етническа група е заплатено от чужди правителства, които имат интерес да създадат етнически проблем в България и Гърция. Тази каша от информация е абсолютно невярна и злонамерена. Всички потурчени, т. е. насила ислямизирани села, имат запазени своите предишни български и гръцки имена. Не съществува език на помаците. Те говорят само своите родни езици - гръцки и български, а Турция се опитва да заграби територии. Създаването на изкуствени нации е стара западна практика. Но такава етническа група никога не е съществувала. Не използвайте невежествотопна западната публика. Помаците, специално в България, са принуждавани, с масови кланета на цели села, да приемат исляма и тези кланета над това, чисто българско, население, са документирани, от българите, но и от турската тогавашна власт. Спрете да разпространявате лъжи и се справяйте с исляма в собствените си страни, а ако желаете, ппеподавайте във Франция на турски и арабски език. И как така наричате България и Гърция Тракия. Държава Тракия не е съществувала, това е Обединено название на над 120 племена на траките, всяко със свои царе, столица и отделно име. Те не съществуват като етническа общност от над 1700 години. Поредното френско безсрамие.

Помаци ,,Pomaci” is a not separate nation or another Bulgarian tribe. this is a word / synonym for "Bulgarians with Turkish heads/ self-awareness/ Turcophiles/ or Muslim Bulgarians." For example, there are other Bulgarian words for people who have changed their native consciousness: Влахи/ Власи "Vlachs/ Walachi” = Bulgarians with Roman heads/ Rimophiles. Сърби "Surbi" = Bulgarians with Russian heads/ Russophiles.
Vlachs is not a Bulgarian word. Wlochy in Polish means Italy. Vlachs were named by the Germanic tribes and meant wanderer of Roman origin. Vlachs means now " Romanian" outside Romania

Greetings to our fellow Greek citizens of Muslim faith. Greece has three distinct indigenous Muslim ethnic groups. The largest is the “Turkish background” Muslims which make up approximately 57% of all indigenous Greek Muslims. Next are the Pomaks which make up approximately 33% of indigenous Greek Muslims. The third, final and smallest group of Greek Muslims are Roma who have adopted Islam. (Northern. Greek Roma. Southern Greek Roma tend to be Greek Orthodox.) And make up the remaining 10%. Those are the three indigenous Greek Muslim groups in Greece that make up the “Greek Muslim community.” (These groups are indigenous Greek citizens. And don’t include Muslim migrants from Albania and the Middle East of which there are many in Greece.)
You are a Rum (false Greek) you are an outsider to GR as an immigrant from mid and east Türkiye. if you are not a Rum you are a native arvanite slav macedon vlah etc whose identity and language is denied.
You are leg, your giving confort to head not accepted. Pomaks and Turks are natives of that land and they dont need the suffix Greek.
"Migrant" you poor deluded Greek nationalist. The Albanians are an indigenous group in Greece which Greece had genocided for years starting from Arta all the way to Athens. There many local ethnic Albanians in Greece such as Çams, Arvanites and Sulis.
creful, Pomaks are NOT indigenous Greeks in origen, they have Slav roots from Bulgaria. living in Greece.
By indigenous I meant not imported recently. Pomaks have lived in Thrace for centuries as Thrace has changed borders between Greece, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire. But the Pomaks have always existed on both sides of the borders of Greece and Bulgaria. Although Bulgaria previously had more Pomaks than Greece. Don’t know now since many left Bulgaria for Turkey in the 90’s.

What language do they speak, it did sound as Slavic!? North Macedonia's 30% of population are Pomaks, not assimilated, while genetically they much more! They are the first to accept Islam!
Their native language is Bulgarian.
Bulgarian slavic language. It's balkan. Religion is very connected with nationality. Bulgarian, serbs and greeks are orthodox christians. That's why this people can't be pure bulgarians. But they can't be turks because language. So they stuck somewhere in between. And they are not isolated case in balkan. In Macedonia live people who call them selfs goranci. They speak slavic lenguage but they are muslims like albanians.
They speack Greeks. But some Pomak may speak Slavic. Et least music is more Slavic when they play begpipe or gajde but if they play tamburas struna playing instrument, they are Greeks.
They are the Slavs who like Bosnians accepted islam but there is a twist they used to be Bogomils too!

This so-called "documentary" is a total disaster. Most of the "information" given is either incorrect or distorted. I am an ethnic Turk from the region, and I know these people very well. They are my relatives, my neighbours, and my friends. Their portrayal in this completely disastrous mockumentary is a total joke. Also, Xanthi is not the centre of Thrace; Komotini is. Additionally, when describing a Balkan people like the Pomaks, using such oriental music in the background just because they are Muslims is a huge misrepresentation. Even though they are Muslims, they are a Balkan people and not Middle Eastern.
Pomaks are Bulgarians with Muslim religion!
Do you know the meaning of the word - Pomak. This is a word from the Bulgarian language - pomachen or "pomuchen", pomachen - a person who forcibly becomes someone else. All waves of forced Islamization in the Rhodopes are documented and available in the Ottoman archives. The population is mostly of Bulgarian origin, but there are of course Greeks and Serbs in ader part of Bolkans. A large part of these people have relatives who are still Christians in Bulgaria. I am a Bulgarian Christian and I have Greek roots from Thrace and Constantinople. There is no nationality - pomak, no language - pomak, this is a not tru.
Summary of the Video on the Pomak People
The video provides an in-depth look at the Pomak people, an ethnic group living in the mountainous region of Thrace, Greece. It explores their struggles, cultural identity, and the socio-political challenges they face due to their unique position between three countries: Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey.
Harsh Living Conditions
- The landscape is described as rugged and harsh, with winter conditions making farming difficult.
- Pomak men, women, and horses work tirelessly on the land, hoping to produce enough to survive the winter.
- The Pomaks are depicted as living under the pressure of three different nations, languages, and religions.
Cultural Identity and Education
- The Pomak children learn in three different languages but struggle to gain a solid education. Despite attending school, their learning is compromised due to the complexity of the situation.
- Women are shown to be largely voiceless and face significant societal constraints, while also expressing a desire for change.
Historical Context
- The video explains the complicated history of the Pomaks, who are descendants of the Agrianes and have lived in the region long before modern borders were established.
- Historical invasions and occupations by Bulgarians, Ottomans, and Greeks have shaped their current predicament.
- After World War II, many Pomaks sought attachment to Greece to escape communism, but they remain a minority and face neglect from the Greek government.
Struggles for Survival
- The Pomaks primarily cultivate tobacco, which is their main source of income. However, government quotas limit their production and income.
- The video highlights the physical difficulties of farming in steep terrains and poor weather conditions, exacerbated by a lack of governmental support.
- There is a sense of despair among Pomak farmers as they deal with an insufficient economy and loss of traditional ways of life.
Cultural Blending and Identity Crisis
- The Pomaks navigate a complex cultural landscape where Turkish and Greek influences dominate.
- Many young Pomaks feel torn between their traditional identity and modern pressures to assimilate into broader Greek or Turkish society.
- Despite attempts to retain their language and customs, the video illustrates the existential threat to Pomak culture posed by external pressures.
Conclusion
- The video concludes with a poignant reflection on the future of the Pomaks, who are caught between preserving their identity and adapting to external influences.
- The ongoing struggle for survival amidst political and economic challenges paints a bleak picture, yet the pride in their heritage remains strong among the Pomak community.
This summary encapsulates the key themes and messages presented in the video about the Pomak people, illustrating their resilience in the face of adversity while grappling with issues of identity and survival.

There is a very big mistake regarding the cultivation of tobacco in Thrace. This plant is native to the American continent. It was introduced to Europe by the Spanish in the 16th century. Then, French traders brought it to Ottoman domains. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for the Eastern Romans (Byzantines) to consume it.
Elles n'ont que le droit de se taire, et encore on peut le leur enlever ... ^^
This movie is full of errors (when and how this region become part of Greece, the so called christianization and Bulgarization of the Pomaks in 13th century, tobacco admired by Byzantines - really!?). As the villains in this movie are presented the communist Bulgarians and the muslim Turks, while the good Greeks only forbid the use of Pomak's language in public and in schools and did nothing to improve the quality of life for these people in over 80 years of rule over their lands (at the time when this was filmed). I'm shocked that in 50 minutes not a single word or song in Pomaks language was presented in this "documentary".
The second French film I watch about pomaks. In the previous one there was a girl who sang a song in the "incomprehensible" Pomak language according to the journalist - pure archaic Bulgarian language.

24.3.2024 In Etnos newspaper, Nikos Gianidis says, "Our identity is taken out of the garbage dump of history." In that garbage dump of history, there are also Hittites, etc. There is no one who denies ancient Greece. However, in his book in 1834, Jacob Philipp Fallmerayer also says that these so-called Greeks have nothing to do with ancient Greece and are a Slavic state. Dr. Georgios Nakracas also says the same thing. Now Edi Rama and Macedonia are saying it openly... It is not possible to keep Greece alive with the Greeks remaining in history. Bulgarians are the first Turks to become Muslims. Pomaks and Çıtaks were Turks. 500 since There were Avar, Pecheneg, Bulgarian, Cuman-Kipchak and Uz Turks in the Balkans, Central Europe and Anatolia. Since there was no Islam, they became Orthodox.

@@ДнкоДудин If we brought you all the books in the libraries, you would not accept them. After the Huns, from 500 onwards, Avars, Bulgars, Cuman-Kipchaks, Pechenegs and Uz Turks came to the Balkans, Central Europe and Anatolia. They became Christians because Islam did not exist yet. The Avars besieged Constantinople in 618 and 626. A prayer called BELLIUM AVARICUM was offered in Constantinople. Prayer is read. This prayer is still sung as the 6th hymn every Easter in Orthodox churches. As you can see, it's Latin/Italian. Greek began to be spoken after the 8th century. If you said Roman Empire, I wouldn't object. Today, there are 40,000 people who remain Catholic in Turkey. There are also Orthodox Bulgarians, Albanians, Macedonians, Serbs and Greeks. However, the ancient Greek we call Greece no longer exists. I'm not saying this. Romans who were Catholics are called Italians today. Due to sectarian conflicts, Orthodox people were called RUM, that is, Romans, but a nation called Greek was invented... Bulgarians, Turks from Central Asia. They were the first Muslims to come to Asia and settle on the Volga. Those who came to the Balkans were Bulgarians who became Slavs... BULGARIANS ARE TURKS. Serbs, Romanians, Macedonians, Albanians, Bosniaks, etc. are not Turks. Pomaks are also Turkish. They are among the Cuman Turks.

The narrator's take on this whole situation is awfully slanted and pessimistic. It would be nice if he could have presented things in a more neutral tone, attempting to understand the points of view of all the groups involved and focusing more on the natural strengths of the people.

Tu ne sais pas toute l'énergie et capacité intellectuelle qu'il faut pour être trilingue, tu as bien entendu le professeur, c'est trop dur pour eux et ils confondent les lettres des trois langues entres elles, surtout qu'à la maison on leur parle une quatrième langue ! Ce qui rajoute encore plus de difficultés.

The translation of the narrators, is totally different to what the characters in the video are saying. This video is projecting a false narrative...... Shame!
