Does the Turkish Nation Have to Be Screaming?
After the First World War, İzmir was occupied on May 15, 1919, leaving from the port of Pasaport. The Metropolitan of Izmir, Kalafatis Chrysostomos, who welcomed the Greek soldiers at Pasaport on the first day of the occupation, also blessed them and stated that it was his duty to kill the Turks. With the support of the Armenians, Metropolitan Chrysostomos gave the Turks in Izmir a hard time during the occupation, starting from the first day.
Today, under the umbrella of the UN, where 193 nations, large and small, are represented, there are such countries that they are almost as big as a stat. Undoubtedly, when such a small piece of land is inhabited, a positive asabiyyah cannot be expected from this society living on this land, which is one in sorrow and sorrow, in ulfada and burden. There can be no talk of a bond that comes from solidarity, solidarity and a sense of belonging, like the lymphatic network in the human body, which Ibn Khaldun succinctly stated, and which gives the strength to exist against the other. In other words, it is not possible to call a society without enemies a nation. The more a society is marginalized, the more cohesive and integrated it becomes.
Ibn Khaldun's "asabiye theory", the "bond of solidarity", which stems from a sense of solidarity and honor within the society and provides the power to deal with external enemies, is the first condition for nationhood. However, even though this is the case, it is clear from their voices and shouts reflected in the corridors of the UN that these societies, which have not reached the consciousness of nationhood, are very vocal in order to defend their rights. From time to time, their protest movements rise to such heights that the echoes of their protests, anger or demands overflow and echo all the way to the streets of New York.
Now, let us state a fact in capital letters, our Sea of Islands and Mediterranean coasts, or our Aegean and Mediterranean regions, have been deliberately altered with the settlement of liberal, globalist, in a sense, freshwater Franks, Levantines, and to the east, with a secret exchange plan. When you live in it, or look at it, it becomes clear and the words "wow" inevitably fall from your lips. So much so that you can see this kind of insensitivity when even the ceremonies celebrating the Greek occupation of Izmir on September 9th are turned into "Liberation from the Central Government" ceremonies by skillful hands. When you remember that when Greece occupied Western Anatolia and withdrew, they filled mosques not only with Turkish people but also with their livestock, food, cats and dogs and burned them, you may be startled to think, wow, what water has passed under the bridges. What the Greeks did, let us never forget, was a direct proto-genocide.
Let us not forget that the "Karaağaç Triangle" region on the left bank of the Evros, on the other side of the Evros River, was left to Turkey as a war repair due to the genocidal massacres committed by the Greek Army in Western Anatolia. In Thrace, we have a land border with Greece not only along the Evros River but also in the Karaağaç region. In return for this gain, Turkey and the Allied Powers mutually agreed to give up their war reparations. While Greece accepted the burden of repairing the damages caused by the massacres and destruction it had caused, Turkey had to reluctantly give up its claim for compensation.
This was stipulated in Article 59 of the Treaty of Lausanne as "war reparations". Although the Karaağaç region was not explicitly mentioned in Article 59, Karaağaç was left to Turkey with an additional protocol issued on the same day as the Treaty of Lausanne and the Greeks living there were included in the scope of the exchange. Protocol No. 15 is titled "Protocol signed on July 24, 1923 by the British Empire, France, Italy, Japan, Greece, Italy, Japan, Greece and Turkey concerning the Land of Karaağaç and the Islands of Imbros and Bozcaada".
The "Manhunt Safaris" organized for Turkish citizens from the islands close to Turkey have caused us heartache and pain. These "Manhunt Safaris" were structured, organized and massed from islands such as Limni, Lesbos, Chios, Chios, Samos and Samos, which were militarized and armed today. It should not be forgotten that the Greek people living in the islands were encouraged to Turkish Safaris, training centers were established for killing and shooting drills were conducted. The killing machines that were made ready for the safari, these inhuman human beings were targeted by the bullets of the guns of these cruel people who were shopping in the marketplaces of our people who were struggling to survive in Western Anatolia with their limited means, and our young people, who are the locomotive of Turkey, were wasted. How is this different from the 50 million young Africans from Africa who were enslaved and wasted on cotton plantations in America?
For this reason, after Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the Commander of the Western Front, İsmet Pasha, the second President of the CHP, established the "Tetkik-i Mezalim Committee" in 1921-1922, which included writers such as Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu, Halide Edip Adıvar, Yusuf Akçura and Falih Rıfkı Atay, to examine the massacres and destruction during the Greek occupation and withdrawal from Western Anatolia. These were directly investigating and analyzing genocide. Halide Edip wrote 'Vurun Kahpeye' in 1923 and Yakup Kadri wrote 'Yaban' in 1932 based on their impressions during their work here. The İletişim Publications edition of Yaban includes a photograph of Yakup Kadri from those days. (1)
However, the mayor of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, instead of the ferry pier in Pasaport, which was closed for renovations, had a floating pier put into the breakwater in order not to disrupt the services. He saw no harm in naming the floating dock 'Agamemnon' to symbolize the legitimacy of the Greek occupation when used elsewhere.
The fact that this floating dock, which was placed at the place where the Greek Armed Forces were thrown into the sea during the National Struggle, was named after "Agamemnon", the Chief King of the ancient Greek site states, is a serious problem of sovereignty and legitimacy. İzmir was occupied after the First World War on May 15, 1919, leaving from the port of Pasaport. On the first day of the occupation, the Metropolitan of Izmir, Kalafatis Chrysostomos, welcomed the Greek soldiers at Pasaport and at the same time blessed them and stated that it was his duty to kill the Turks. With the support of the Armenians, Metropolitan Chrysostomos gave the Turks in Izmir a hard time during the occupation, starting from the first day. The main goal was Megali Idea, ENOSIS. In this context, it is to ensure the annexation of Izmir to Greece. Massacres and massacres were carried out in front of the whole world. (2)
The 'Agamemnon' metaphor is the organized form of being against, challenging and attacking the Turks and the Crusader Mentality that will be formed centuries later. This is why the West has kept 'Agamemnon' alive and continues to do so. One of the few dreadnoughts launched by the United Kingdom of Great Britain, the Land of the Never-Setting Sun, in 1906 was named "HMS (Her Majesty's Ship) Agamemnon". Operating in the Mediterranean since 1908, "HMS Agamemnon" took part in the Çanakkale Naval Operation on March 18, 1915 in the first division. On the first day of the naval battle, HMS Agamemnon was hit and wounded by Turkish salvos and was towed to Mondros Harbor of Limni Island across the Dardanelles. The British wanted to take advantage of the aggressive and aggressive name of the Greek Arch-King Agamemnon, in spite of the Sultan Osman and Reshadiye, which were paid for to the penny by the Naval Society and which they had not given to Turkey before the First World War. More importantly, this ship also hosted the Armistice of Mondros, which ended the First World War. HMS Agamemnon is a ship on which Turkey's neck was bent. After the armistice, the ship went to Istanbul in November 1918 and became part of the British fleet.
Donkey Island is as important as Pasaport Harbor in the history of massacres, genocides and proto-genocide in Western Anatolia. During the Greek occupation that lasted for three years and four months, the "Patris Ship" brought from Greece for human slaughter is very important. It was integrated with the "Turkish Hunting Safari" to the interior of Western Anatolia, and its holds were filled with our innocent wounded ancestors, and they were taken on death journeys between Pasaport and Isle of Ashes, and it functioned as an "Execution House-Turkish Slaughterhouse". Donkey Island, opposite Didim in Aydın province, which has been under Greek occupation for 16 years and where Greek President Katerina Sakellaropulu came on June 28, 2020 to provoke Turkey, is very important for this reason, as it reminds the Donkey Island at the exit of Izmir Port. (1)
In the maps of Donkey Island published in 1943 by the United Kingdom, a party to the 1932 Treaty of Lausanne, and in 1951 by the United States, a party to the 1947 Treaty of Paris, the 12 Islands are shown as Turkish territory outside the maritime borders. The island has been under Greek occupation for 16 years and there are hundreds of armed Greek soldiers stationed on the island in Greek land, naval and air bases. (2) It is completely illegal. The Greek palikarya trying to hold on here by our people must be uprooted and expelled.
If you say let's organize a protest demonstration in the cities of the Aegean Region against this known aggressive attitude of Greece, we have no doubt that our people would participate in the "Demonstrations of Greece's Irregularities and Imprudence", but let us state that there is concern and anxiety that the opponents will prevent them and that there may even be brawls in the squares. Let's assume, let's say, for example, that in the event of a Greek military landing here, Mustafa Denizli's famous aphorism, "The Irish in us", might even order beer for the Greek soldiers in cafes and beer houses, and I wouldn't be surprised if they did. The Liberal Libos seek our only salvation in the ardent advocacy of subordinating our country to the international political and economic system. A close examination will show that they have always been and are always against what is original, indigenous, transcendent and national. Why are they like this? Because they were recruited in minority and foreign schools, they are orientalists, they look at the country and its problems through western eyes. More precisely, they see no harm in combining their individual goals with the national goals of another country. Of course, I am not referring to our brothers and sisters of Armenian and Greek origin in our own country, Armenophobia has become fashionable in our country with the discourse of "We are all Armenians", and unfortunately 'Greekophobia' is about to become fashionable nowadays due to the favorable atmosphere. Can you imagine, a retired Turkish Ambassador can say "Greece is right in the Aegean". What I am trying to say is that there are people who see no harm in adding 'We are all Greeks' to the equivalent of 'We are all Armenians', just so you know. To summarize, it can be easily understood that they are fed by non-national, artificial, synthetic and imported models, imitators and sources foreign to the people. This prominent westernist character is their distinguishing characteristic. However, it is worth mentioning that this is why their confrontation with the people is inevitable. Because their defense of indigenous cultural values is perceived as reactionary and outdated underdevelopment in the sense of returning to archaic sources that have expired.
The question to be asked now is this. What should or could our people living on the coasts of the Aegean region do or be able to do for the "Non-Military Status Islands" (GASA) that Greece has militarized and armed to the fullest extent with the support of the USA? Or what should be done as the Great Turkish Nation? It should not be forgotten that the sovereignty of the islands with "Non-Military" (Demilitarization) status was not given to Greece neither in 1923 Lausanne nor in 1947 Paris Treaty. Only and only the right of use was granted. Moreover, Greece is the occupier of the islands and islets it has occupied within Turkish territorial waters, and it has armed and militarized the islands that have been granted only the right of use on condition that they are demilitarized, disregarding the law.
So much so that the Greek Islands Command is at the level of a Corps. Greek Division Command in Lesbos, Greek Brigade Command in islands such as Chios, Samos and Kos, and Regiment and Battalion Command in other small islands. In other words, these islands have been structured in such a way that they have put their cannons, mortars, weapons, vehicles and equipment at the doorstep against the Turkish people living on the coasts of the Aegean Region, and have made and completed their preparations at the highest level for 'Turkish People Hunting Safaris' just like in the Turkish National Struggle. What should we do? We should at least be vocal, raise our voices, and put these impudence and imprudence in front of the world public opinion, dear readers. Yes, just as the Sultanahmet Rallies were held at the beginning of the War of Independence, similar rallies and demonstrations should be held in the provinces, district centers and even in all towns in the Aegean Region. Not only these, this situation should be put before the European Court of Human Rights with individual petitions. It should not be forgotten that the target of Greece, supported by the US-France, is the unity and integration of the state and nation. If you do not have the opportunity to change your neighbor, we are condemned to discipline them. Undoubtedly, the Turkish state has the right to restore this situation to its original state, and it will do so. The second issue is that Greece is the occupier of the islands, islets and rocks whose sovereignty is not given to Greece but whose sovereignty rights are ours, Turkey has the right to say leave this place, get out, the necessary action must be taken, and the Republic of Turkey has the power to carry out this operation, which is obligatory.
