"...The persecution of the Greeks has been a long-standing ordeal. Even now, it is ongoing. The methods used were the same as those against the Armenians. The only difference is that they were extended over a longer period of time."

"...The word 'guiaour' (guiaour) was never pronounced with such contempt as it is today.
This terrible hatred, so inhuman, in all its manifestations, turns into red blood cells in the arteries of all those who, like Lazos Topal Osman, were only happy when they saw the blood of a 'guiaour' flowing, and this hatred is transmitted to almost all of us, from the Constantinople Police Directorate to the Gumuch-Souyou Hospital..."
Izzet Fouad Pacha, Turkish General

"We cannot find a single case in Europe, Asia, or even Africa, where the imposition of Turkish sovereignty over a country was not followed by a decrease in material prosperity and educational level. There is also no case where the overthrow of Turkish sovereignty did not bring about material prosperity and cultural elevation.
Whether among Christians or Muslims, the Turk has only contributed to destruction.
He has never proven capable of developing in peace what he gained through war."
