Abstract: The international press widely reported the brutal assault on Thessaloniki Mayor Yiannis Boutaris on 19 May 2018 perpetrated by the supporters of the Greek far-right Golden Dawn group during the purported “Pontic Genocide” commemoration in Thessaloniki. As it was comprehensively examined in my AVİM report of last year titled “The Pontus Narrative and Hate Speech,” Pontus Greek narratives in relation to the developments during First World War and assertions of a ‘Pontus Genocide’ was invented and propagated in Greece and among the Greek diaspora during the late 1980s. After the pressures from Pontian lobbies, the Greek government passed “a motion on 24 February 1994 that May 19 be day of commemoration for the Pontian Genocide” and the Greek parliament adopted a law declaring May 19 as a day of remembrance of the “Genocide of the Pontian Greeks.
