Summary "Reports on atrocities in the districts of Yalova and Guemlek and in the Ismid…" is a historical account compiled by an Inter-Allied Commission, published in 1921. This report documents the extensive violence and destruction that occurred against the Turkish population during a turbulent period marked by ethnic conflict in the aftermath of World War I. The likely subject of the book is an evaluation of the atrocities committed by both Greek and Turkish forces in specific regions of Turkey, highlighting the consequences of racial and national tensions. The book provides a detailed account of the Commission's inquiries, which included testimonies from local inhabitants and visits to affected villages, revealing a landscape ravaged by fear, displacement, and violence. It describes a systematic destruction of Turkish villages and a harsh reality for those who remained, with numerous accounts of killings, looting, and forced evacuations, often initiated by Greek and Armenian bands. The Commission notes the chaotic conditions, where both Greek and Turkish populations suffered due to ongoing reprisals, emphasizing the dire need for intervention and oversight to prevent future atrocities. The report underscores the importance of addressing the long-standing ethnic hostilities that fueled the violence, calling for measures to restore peace and order in the region.
