"Kapak" to some chronic anti-turks.

Is this a reference to me?

Who do you think in the thread on Axis History forum provided that info? Who provided most of the info on those threads Chris referenced? Very hilarious that everyone attacks me especially leftist Greeks, but I am the only one providing non-Google sources. Some people get ignorant and arrogant with the power of Google.

Some moronic Turkish documentary that had enough enough money to shoot and hire such a large crew including underwater cameramen did not do any real research besides manipulation, and big empty words of peace to mask lies.

Praises Work of the Greek War Relief Association
Special to The New York Times.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6-The following message, sent from Athens by Colonel William J. Donovan, unofficial. observer for President Roosevelt, was received here today by Dr. Merle M. Rodgers, chairman of the Philadelphia Committee of the Greek War Relief Association:
"I have just returned from front impressed by terrific problems there presented in connection with the relief of human suffering. Certainly the work already being done by the authorities and your committee is magnificent, but I believe no effort has been too great to meet the indescribable suffering and privation.
"I tell you this, because I have, myself, witnessed the passiveness and submission by people overwhelmed by war conditions in the depths of Winter, people who, so homeless and half-frozen, cheer when they hear the name of America, and I say, 'God bless your efforts.' "

Athens Red Cross Reported to Get 50 Famine Cases a Day
ISTANBUL, Turkey, Nov. 20 (AP) —The Turkish, steamer Kurtulus, which carried American and British-purchased food to Greece from Turkey, returned today with a story of increasingly desperate conditions in Axis-invaded Greece.
Conditions appeared to have blackened five-fold since the ship's last visit three weeks ag-o, it was said, with the Red Cross receiving1 upward of fifty emergency calls daily in Athens alone. All the calls were described as starvation cases, most of the victims too far gone to recover.
The Kurtulus is scheduled to return as soon as she is reloaded with another 5,000 tons of foodstuffs.

There are more articles like this in newspaper databases, I have another 11 in my email box.

The source is the book The Greeks in the United States by Theodore Saloutos, second printing 1975, Harvard University Press. The quality of the images is not too good since it was done with a fairly old digital camera.

All Turkey did as you can see from many credible sources was ship little more than 19,000 tons of aid from the very derilect 1883 vintage SS Kurtulus. Swedish shipping on the other hand sent 700,000 tons of GWRA aid.
