MEP Calls for Recognition of Pontian Greek Genocide

The European Parliament is currently considering a resolution calling for recognition of the Pontian Greek genocide. The resolution, introduced by MEP Afroditi Latinopoulou, highlights the systematic extermination of hundreds of thousands of Pontian Greeks during the early 20th century. "Today, I submit a resolution to the European Parliament demanding that all member states recognize the Pontian Genocide," states Latinopoulou in her video address. The video, which has garnered significant attention online, features historical images and emotional appeals for justice. Latinopoulou’s call for recognition echoes similar efforts to acknowledge the Armenian genocide. The resolution's success will depend on the support of other MEPs and member states. The recognition of the Pontian genocide would represent a significant step towards historical justice and reconciliation.
