All were there to remind those passing by that this genocide really did happen and sadly, continues today.

But, our government is allowing Turkey to buy our silence; to deny their genocidal acts. Obama and Clinton: Shame on you.

For more information on the Hellenic Genocide Memorial go to WWW.THRACIANGENOCIDE.ORG and download the pamphlet : “The Genocide of the Greeks”

Slide show of Memorial:



Our history books must tell the truth about Turkey and the systematic genocide commited against the Greeks, the Armenians and the Assyrians. Demand an end to revisionist history.

BTW: As we left the Memorial and walked only a block and a half North....saw this Turkish Center....wonder if any one dropped by the Memorial....

Second Hellenic Genocide Commemoration outside the UN on April 6, 2010

UNWANTED FLOWERS:


Following the conclusion of the event Mr. Nikolaos Taneris, President of the Pan Thracian Union of America “Orpheus” and Mr. Ioannis Fidanakis, former President and board member of the Pan Thracian Union of America “Orpheus” took the ceremonial funereal wreath for the innocoent victims of the Greek Genocide to the Greek Consulate in New York on 69 E. 79 Street in Manhattan. To our dismay, when the Greek diplomats saw our wreath and the pamphlet “GREEK GENOCIDE IN THRACE: A CASE STUDY” they quickly bowed their heads and scurried away and hid from sight. Not even a thank you, or an acknowledgment was made for the innocent victims of the Greek Genocide by the diplomats or representatives of Greece in New York. Flowers for the innocent victims of the Greek Genocide of 1914-1923, are for the Greek diplomats of New York, Unwanted Flowers.

Mr. Kristis Ciakas has shot a video of the Unwanted Flowers, which may be submitted to short film festivals, and for now is available on you tube, it is titled….

Unwanted Flowers.
