We are passing through the hundredth year since the Asia Minor Catastrophe and many events are taking place commemorating those events, with a responsible evaluation, so that it turns out to be a positive event for all of us.

Already last year (2021) we celebrated the anniversary of two hundred years since the beginning of the 1821 revolution, which was full of victories and defeats, tensions and peace, sorrows and joys. However, the Asia Minor Campaign and Catastrophe offers us only sorrows, it is a trauma, not only in our historical memory, but also in our historical body itself.
