For the first time, I wrote about what they call the "Greek atrocities"—the atrocities Greek soldiers committed in Anatolia.

In 1930, the Kemalists, in order to reach an agreement with the Greeks, had books about the massacres the Greek armies carried out in Anatolia removed from libraries.

I obtained them from private libraries.

Even Celal Bey asked, "Where did you find these? I wanted to write about them—remind me."

I couldn't even find them in official libraries.

They had been confiscated. People say that doesn't make them pro-Greek, but I documented all of the Greek atrocities. This is from 1966; the first edition was '66.

Those men who hadn't even been born then—this is the 17th edition. At least 200,000 copies of this book were distributed in Anatolia.

Did people send these to them so they'd declare me pro-Greek? Is there any need to answer them further?
