🔴 April 1822, during the Greek war of Independence an estimate of 52 000 Greeks were massacred by Ottoman troops in the island of Chios
🔸The vast majority of the population had by all accounts done nothing to provoke the reprisals, and had not joined other Greeks in their revolt against the Ottoman Empire
🔸 Reinforcements in the form of a Turkish fleet arrived on the island on 22 March. They quickly pillaged and looted the town. On April 12, orders were given to burn down the town, and over the next four months, an estimated 40,000 Turkish troops arrived
‼️ In addition to setting fires, the troops were ordered to kill all infants under three years old, all males 12 years and older, and all females 40 and older, except those willing to convert to Islam
🔸 Approximately three-quarters of the population of 120,000 were killed, captured or died of disease. It is estimated that 2,000 people remained on the island after 21,000 managed to flee

‼️ Massacre of Chios, April 1822
🇫🇷 Victor Hugo poem "L' enfant"
The Child
The Turks have been here. All is bleak, in ruin.
Chios, isle of wines, is now a darkened reef.
Chios, cradled by green branches,
Chios, where curling waves mirror soft hills,
forests, palaces, and, on certain nights,
dancing choirs of young girls,
All is desert. But no, near a blackened wall
sits a Greek child, a blue-eyed boy,
alone and bending his head in shame.
For safety, for support, he has but a
single wrecked hawthorn bush, forgotten like him in
this forgotten, wasted corner.
Oh poor child, barefoot on these sharp-edged rocks!
Oh to stop the crying of your blue eyes,
blue like the sky and like the sea,
so that in their shine the light of laughter
and joy might evaporate this storm of tears;
young boy, to lift up your blond head,
what would you wish for, oh beautiful boy,
what will it take to smile, to gather up
in curls resting on your pale shoulder
this mop of hair never touched or shorn, which
seems to weep about your beautiful face
like the leaves of the willow?
What will make your cloudy cares disappear?
Perhaps to have this lily from the fields
of Iran, bright blue like your eyes?
Or some fruit from the magic Tuba-tree,
that tree so great that galloping horses
run a century in its shadow?
Would you smile for a handsome forest bird
that sings more sweetly than flutes or oboes
and more brilliantly than cymbals?
What would you like? Flowers, fruits, marvelous birds?
- Friend, replies the Greek child with the clear blue eyes,
I want some bullets and a gun.

🔸 As the Italian newspaper "La Repubblica" writes, Turkey has decided to "freeze" the purchase of 10 helicopters from Italy, in retaliation for the statements of the Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, who on Thursday called Erdogan a dictator
🔸 The sale of 10 AW169 helicopters of the Italian state group Leonardo, which had been agreed since March, "froze". The total cost of the deal reaches 70 million euros, with the possibility of additional agreements, with a total value of 150 million euros
‼️ At the same time, La Repubblica writes, "warning messages" were sent to two other private companies and to the energy sector group Ansaldo Energia, a 40% owner of a third party company, which is negotiating the purchase of a power plant outside Istanbul. Trade between the two countries, the newspaper reminds, exceeds 17 billion euros a year

In the 21st century, this primitive man opens a war trophy park in Baku and walks among the helmets of Armenian soldiers killed in the war.
The analogy with the 1915 Genocide, when murderers walked among the severed heads of Armenians, is obvious.

The Derveni Krater from the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki
Date: 4th century BC.
Provenance: Discovered in 1962 Derveni's tomb 2, Macedonia, Greece.
The decoration is extremely rich and the main theme portrays Dionysus with Ariadne, where the god was depicted as a young and beardless beside Ariadne. Four statuettes were applied next to the handles depicting: young Dionysus, a sleeping drunken satyr, a sleeping maenad and finally, a maenad in ecstasy. Initially the decoration with the scene of Dionysus and Ariadne was not intended as a funerary scene but later on the urn was used for a funerary purpose.
