Pontic Greek genocide
Pontic Greek men between 20 and 50 were sent to do slave work in working groups and camps of the military (Amele Tabourou). They were supposed to free the ways and open roads for Turkish armies all over Turkey. Many Pontic men died because they had to work a lot and there was not enough water and food for everyone. In the time between 1914-1918, 88 Pontic Greek villages were burnt down, women and girls were raped, houses were robbed and people murdered. 100,000 Pontic Greeks were killed and about 255.000 were forced to leave.
