Ao - ৰিদ্রোহী eipJ 'The introduction of the western formula (of nationalism) among the people (Near Easterners) has therefore resulted in massacre. It (the formula of nationalism) has been applied more and more savagely as it has exacted its toll of suffering and exasperation. The Greek War of Independence, which was perhaps the first movement in this region produced by a conscious application of the western national idea, occasioned massaeres of the Turks throughout the Morea and of the Greeks at Aivate and Khios......In the northeastern provinces of Turkey, the massacre of Armenians by Moslems has been endemic since 1895; in Mecedonia the mutual massacre of Greeks, Bulgars Serbs and Albanians, since about 1899; and after the Balkan wars the plague of racial warfare spread with the stream of Moslem refugees from Macedonia to Thrace and Western Anatolia. In the latter country, a Greek and Turkish population, which had lived there side by side, on the whole peaceably, for at least five centuries even during the wars between Greece and Turkey in 1821-9 and 1897, have both been seized by homicidal national hatred.-P. 16-17.
