#1 Istanbul Pogrom
Posted: 18/07/2007 02:57
The Istanbul Pogrom (also known as Istanbul Riots; Greek: Σεπτεμβριανά (Events of September); Turkish: 6–7 Eylül Olayları (Events of September 6-7)), was a pogrom directed primarily at Istanbul's 100,000-strong Greek minority on September 6 and 7, 1955. Jews and Armenians living in the city and their businesses were also targeted in the pogrom, which was orchestrated by the Demokrat Parti-government of Turkish Prime Minister Adnan Menderes. The events were triggered by the false news that the house in Thessaloniki (Turkish: Selânik), Greece, where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was born in 1881, had been bombed the day before.[1]
A Turkish mob, most of which was trucked into the city in advance, assaulted Istanbul’s Greek community for nine hours. Although the orchestrators of the pogrom did not explicitly call for Greeks to be killed, between 13 and 16 Greeks (including two Orthodox clerics) and at least one Armenian died during or after the pogrom as a result of beatings and arsons.[2]
Thirty-two Greeks were severely wounded. In addition, dozens of Greek women were raped, and a number of men were forcibly circumcised by the mob. 4,348 Greek-owned businesses, 110 hotels, 27 pharmacies, 23 schools, 21 factories, 73 churches and over a thousand Greek-owned homes were badly damaged or destroyed.[2]
Estimates on the economic cost of the damage vary from Turkish government's estimate of 69.5 Million Turkish lira (equivalent to 24.8 million USD[3]), the British diplomat estimates of 100 million GBP (about 200 million USD), the World Council of Churches’ estimate of 150 million USD, and the Greek government's estimate of 500 million USD.[2]
The pogrom greatly accelerated emigration of ethnic Greeks from the Istanbul region (the former Constantinople), reducing the 200,000-strong Greek minority in 1924 to just over 5,000 in 2005.[4]

u istanbulu ljudi koje znam i dan-danas o njemu govore sa gadjenjem i nemaju puno problema sa cinjenicom da je objesen... kazu da je bio jedan od najgorih... od nevidjene korupcije i lopovluka pod okriljem 'demokratizacije' pa do ovih sranja (iako je ko biva nesto 'rehabilitovan')...
ako si stranac koji trazi naturalizaciju, daju ti listu sa mogucim imenima i prezimenima da biras 
S tim sto se bas ne slazem s tim da je biti neturk musliman veoma tesko.Tesko je uopce biti stranac u Turskoj.Ako si musliman,opet je lakse
