.@POTUS -- the #ArmenianGenocide you recognized last month was part of a larger genocide of Christians in Turkey. Today marks another major phase of that genocide, in which at least 353,000 Greeks from the Pontus region perished. #PontianGenocide 
Today we honor the memory of those who perished during Turkey’s campaign of extermination and genocide against Greeks in Asia Minor, Eastern Thrace, and Pontus.
While an image may be worth a thousand words, these words -- true accounts of the atrocities -- remind us of the thousands of lives lost and call on us to ensure that such a horror never happens again.
