Pontic Genocide: An Open Wound of Memory True Scenarios 5/16/2013 Almost a century after the beginning of the time period in which the Pontic Genocide took place, and ninety years since the Treaty of Lausanne, thousands of Greeks travel to the Black Sea to know the place of their ancestors. On one of these trips, descendants of refugees from the prefectures of Pella and Pieria visit the village of Argos, in the area of Neokaisaria. Nikos Aslanidis captures with the lens of the show the emotion and strong feelings that these people experience when they see their grandparents' houses. But the most shocking moment is when they find the cemeteries of their ancestors and try to gather their scattered bones to transport them to Greece, so that they can be buried. From the Hellenism of the East, only the Greeks of the Pontus organized dynamically and developed guerilla action against the Turks. Named captains and lads heroically resisted Turkish atrocities, yet their story remains unknown to the vast majority of Greeks. One of the most famous captains of the Western Sea was Euclid Kourtidis, who fought the Turks for seven years and in an adventurous way managed to come to Greece, only to meet a tragic death in an accident. The rebels of Pontus went to the mountain at an early age. Characteristic examples of bravery and heroism were two more people: Captain Kotsa Anastas, namely Anastasios Papadopoulos, who started his action at the age of just 12, as well as Solonas Apostolidis, also a rebel since childhood. Apostolidis, aged 14, was wounded by a Turkish volley and managed to remove it himself. That incident became the reason for him to choose medicine and become a surgeon. His son, having heard much about the heroic deeds of his ancestors, is one of the people who visited Pontus to search for his roots. A pilgrimage, a little tribute to the holy lands of the grandparents and above all, a balm for the memory.
