Pontic Greek Genocide is a term used to refer to the fate of the Pontic Greek population of the Ottoman Empire during and in the aftermath of World War I. It is used to refer to the determined persecutions, massacres, expulsions, and death marches of Pontian Greek populations in the historical region of Pontus, the southeastern Black Sea provinces of the Ottoman Empire, during the early 20th century by the Young Turk administration. G.W. Rendel of the British Foreign Office noted the massacres of Greeks in Pontus and elsewhere during the Turkish national movement, which was organized against Greece's invasion of western Anatolia.According to the Greek census of 1926, 182,169 Greeks from the Pontus region had migrated to Greece during the population exchange between Greece and Turkey. The International Association of Genocide Scholars recognises the events as a genocide but other official recognition is limited, as the only countries that recognize the events as genocide are Greece and Cyprus. The question of whether these incidents constitute a genocide is a matter of dispute between Greece and Turkey. Turkey similarly denies the historicity of the contemporaneous Armenian and Assyrian genocides, both of which have also been recognized by the International Association of Genocide Scholars.
