Abstract

On March 25, 2021, all major western international media outlets reported, with comprehensive analysis, that Greece is celebrating its 200th anniversary since the beginning of the struggle for independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1821. Certain of these media outlets referred to the Ottoman Empire as "the former Turkish Ottoman Empire." It is reported in this regard that "Prince Charles, heir to the British throne whose father Prince Philip was born in Corfu as part of the Greek royal family," Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and the French Defense Minister Florence Parly attended the parade in Athens.Concerning the 1821 Celebrations, the basic question is: Was the uprising against the Ottoman Empire in 1821 just the beginning of the war for independence for the Greeks, or was it the beginning of brutal massacres committed by gangs who later were presented to be fighting for the independence of Greece? One of the first targets of the uprising was the city of Tripolitsa which is situated in the middle of Peloponnese and administrative center for Ottoman rule in the Peloponnese. In the Tripolitsa massacre by Greek gangs, upwards of ten thousand Turks were brutally killed. Especially diaspora sources praise the Tripolitsa massacre by claiming that Turks deserved it. Turkey is a victim of misinformation and dis information published by the US, German, French and British media. These media outlets have contributed to the creation of Fake News against Turkey. Last example of this published in the BBC/Turkish news regarding the 1821 celebrations.
