Turkish Atrocities : Statements of American Missionaries.. |
 "In March 1914 while I was doing relief work in Thrace I saw many things which were evidence of the misrule of the Turks and their cruel treatment of their non-Moslem subjects. Much of this evidence was written to Boston during the spring and summer of 1914. The armies of the Turks which retook Adrianople and such portions of Thrace as they recaptured in 1913 devastated the non-Moslem regions and carried away much of their movable property and imprisoned many of the male members of these communities."
TURKISH ATROCITIES:
STATEMENTS OF AMERICAN MISSIONARIES ON THE
DESTRUCTIONOF CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES IN
OTTOMAN TURKEY, 1915-1917
by JAMES L. BARTON
"During the same spring I saw the working of the official boycott
against the Greeks in Thrace and along the lateral of the sea of
Marmora. Not only were Moslems forbidden to buy from these Greeks, but
they were encouraged to take their goods and then walk off without
paying for it. Moslems were forbidden to sell anything to the Greeks.
Many Greek merchants were financially ruined by this boycott."
