http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasan_Tahsin

Hasan Tahsin (born Osman Nevres) (1888 Selanik - May 15, 1919 İzmir) was a Turkish journalist and is a national hero in Turkey. A member of the Ottoman Secret Service (Teşkilat-ı Mahsusa), he unsuccessfully tried to assassinate the Buxton Brothers: Noel Noel-Buxton, 1st Baron Noel-Buxton and Charles Roden Buxton in Romania during World War I.

He was the first to open fire on the Greek soldiers that landed in İzmir on May 15, 1919, in the opening act of the Greek occupation of more than three years that extended over a large part of western Anatolia, as well as of the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922). As such, his name came to symbolize the date of 15 May 1919 in Turkey, and is associated with the events that occurred in İzmir on that day. His opening fire on Greek troops led to intercommunal rioting which killed over 300 people

  • 0:20. This is a pic of the late Archbishop of Greece whose name was XRISTODOULOS not XRISOSTOMOS and he lived about .... 80 (!!!) years AFTER the incidents you are describing !!! Less FANATISM and a little bit of more ACCURACY (especially when you aim to "replace" The History Channel ) surely would do NO HARM!!! What's done IS DONE! (from both countries) Time to look ahead! OTHER countries are just happy to watch us fighting! PEACE and HUGS from your neighbour country.
