Summary

"Reports on atrocities in the districts of Yalova and Guemlek and in the Ismid Peninsula" by the Inter-Allied Commission of Enquiry into Atrocities in Yalova and Guemlek is a stark exploration of war and ethnic conflict. It provides a 1921 account of the brutal violence inflicted upon the Turkish population following World War I. The report presents evidence of the systematic destruction of Turkish villages, sharing harrowing testimonies of killings, looting, and forced displacement carried out by Greek and Armenian forces. The book is likely focused on evidence of atrocities committed by both Greek and Turkish forces because of their involvement in the ethnic and national violence. The Commission points to a climate of fear and reprisal, leading to great suffering for both Greek and Turkish peoples who endured ongoing cycles of violence. It emphasizes the need for peacekeeping and a resolution to the ethnic tensions fueling the horror.
