‘We also honor this year the memory of thousands Pontus Greeks who were uprooted by their outbreaks, exterminated and tortured.
It is a black page in world history that violates the core of all value of humanity. It is our duty to keep our memory alive and fight for the recognition of historical truth, without forgetting the past, “the prime minister said in a post on social media Kyriakos Mitsotakis On the occasion of the Day of Remembrance of the Pontian Genocide, which is May 19th.
“The Pontians were hit, but they were not defeated. They kept their tradition and language, building their lives with pride and hard work again. They are thus enriching our society and Greek identity for over a century, ”writes Prime Minister and completes: “Their heritage now lives in every corner of the country and in every new generation that bears the weight and dignity of Pontian origin. We are always on their side. On the side of truth and justice. “
