Talk:Constantinople massacre of 1821

Casualties

This article was nicely done. I believe the amount of casualties should be added to assess to scope of the massacres. Unfortunately, I found a few unreliable sources. They numbered the casualties in the "thousands" but there is no approximation as to how many. Have you guys found any?

As retaliation Turks massacred thousands of Greeks (Romeoi) in Constantinople, Adrianople, Smyrne, Kydonies and elsewhere in Micra Asia. Proudbolsahye (talk) 07:01, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Massacre of Turkish civilians in Galati and Iasi

This is not the primary subject of the article but since it is stated it should be stated correctly. According to a number of sources this massacre did take place, so calling it rumors is wrong.

Sources which mention the massacres:

• [1] Furthermore, atrocities against Muslim residents in Jassy and Galati, in the early days of the occupation of Moldavia, promised reprisals from Ottoman.....

• [1]the massacre of Turks at Galatz and Jassy..

• [1]the cruel and cowardly murders of Turkish merchants, in the towns of Galatz and Jassy..

The Revolution of 1821 was not an isolated incident. Following the failled Greek revolution in 1770, the Greeks of Peloponnese suffered almost ten years of massacres, looting and devastation (1770-1779) by the muslim Albanians (also called "Turks" at that time). See List of massacres in Greece. Theodoros Kolokotronis, who conquered Tripolitsa in 1821, was a child then and had lost several of his family members during that period. His younger sister, had been sold to Albania. Many years later Kolokotronis visited his sister in Albania as a member of a British mission. She was the wife of a mullah. Brother and sister could only greet each-other in tears, as Kol. could not speak Albanian and his sister could no more speak Greek (she had become a "Turk").

And the rest is history.--Skylax30 (talk) 13:08, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
