Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memorandum Presented by the Greek Members of the Turkish Parliament to the American Commission on Mandates Over Turkey
A few cultured men, who contrived to escape on the day Constantinople was taken (may 29th, 1453) took refuge in Italy and brought with them the first spark of civilization, the pure light of which now shines in your great country. Those who were left behind were slaughtered on the very same day; women were enslaved, monuments and works of art were destroyed, and the whole city was set on fire and burnt to ashes; thus the Turkish rule was established.
