FLORENTIA wrote that accounts from a neighboring country dealt with the so-called "gray areas" instead of the natural disaster in their country, which, as noted, had caused human losses and significant material damage. Quoting data attributed to the Geographic Army Service, she stated that 29,372 standalone geographic elements of land had been recorded in Greek territory. She added that the conventional number used by the Greek Tourism Organization and encyclopedias was about 6,000 islands and islets, as it included those exceeding a marginal size. According to her post, 446 had an area of over 1 km², while the permanent population ranged from 117 to 227, depending on the census; the remaining 29,000 or more were uninhabited islets and rocks. FLORENTIA argued that the Treaty of Lausanne defined the limit as 3 miles from the Asian coasts and that, beyond that, the islands and islets of the Aegean were outside Turkish sovereignty. She presented as positions of the accounts she criticized the claims that unmarked areas had "ambiguous" sovereignty, that Turkey's renunciation only concerned the then Great Powers or the Middle East, and that Turkey as the successor of the Ottoman Empire retained territories that had not been explicitly ceded elsewhere. She asserted that these positions had no legal basis and that the reference to island complexes, the 3-mile limit, and Turkey's renunciation based on Article 16 excluded any dispute over Greek sovereignty. She concluded that there was no point in further discussion with these specific accounts and, referring to Sophocles, expressed the view that circumstances should not prevail over justice. #Ελλάδα #ΔιεθνέςΔίκαιο #Γεωπολιτική (translated)

The article states that, after the massacres on Chios in 1822, women and children were transported as captives to the slave markets of Smyrna and Constantinople. It invoked a letter sent that spring from Constantinople by Dutch diplomat Gaspar Testa, in which he described captured children and women from Chios, some of whom had papers with the name and address of their owners. According to the post, by May 1, 1822, more than 41,000 slave ownership documents, known as "teskeredes," had been issued. The article mentioned that, according to the French-language newspaper of Smyrna, Spectateur Oriental, by May 10, customs duties for about 40,000 slaves had been paid at the city's customs. It also cited English sources, stating that the population of Chios before the destruction was approximately 110,000: about 20,000 fled or remained on the island to cultivate mastic, approximately 45,000 were killed, and the rest were sold as slaves. The post stated that the attack began on March 30, 1822, and that, according to the orders attributed to the Sultan, boys aged 3–12 and women aged 12–40 would be captured, while the others would be slaughtered. It described rapes, torture, and murders of civilians, as well as women who committed suicide or resisted to avoid capture. Citing the account of the priest Welsh from the English embassy in Constantinople, the article noted that about 500 women from Chios were sold in the fish market and that their prices ranged from 100 groats to 3 pounds per person. It added that similar scenes unfolded in Smyrna, where women and children were transported in chains and sent to the homes of those who had bought them. Finally, it cited Chian journalist Panagiotis Xenakis and "The Machine of Time," mentioning that the island remained devastated for years after 1822. #Χίος #ΕλληνικήΕπανάσταση #Σκλαβιά (translated)
