Pontic Greek genocide
On December 16th, 2007, the Pontic Greek Genocide was officially recognized by the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS). Not many people know and talk about the Genocide on Pontic Greeks. This is because of the Armenian Genocide, which happened around the same time. On February 24th, 1994 the Greek parliament officially recognized the Genocide and declared the 19th of May as the national day of remembrance. Until now, Turkey has not recognized the Genocide and did not make a statement about what happened 100 years ago in Anatolia. Many pro-Turkish scholars even say that there is not enough proof that the Young Turks wanted to start a genocide in the first place.
