The Last Greeks of Turkey | ARTE.tv Documentary

Greek-speaking and Orthodox Christians, the Roums of Turkey are also known as the later Byzantines. Their presence on the shores of the Bosphorus, on the islands around Turkey and in Anatolia pre-dates the Ottomans, yet today there are less than 2,000 of them left. The 20th century was a particularly harrowing time for this minority: Pogroms, forced labor camps, mass expulsions, violence and racism took their toll on this community. Today, the few remaining Greeks of Turkey try to keep their traditions alive.
