Greece's Izmir Syndrome and Fires in the Aegean Sea

In Greece, a giant monument was opened in memory of the 1923 Turkish-Greek Population Exchange. This monument aims to commemorate the event known as the "Minor Asia Catastrophe."
The opening ceremony was hosted by the "Minor Asians Association" in Kayalar. Many civil society organizations and politicians attended the event.

Historian Vlassis Agtzidis spoke about the causes and consequences of the "Minor Asia Catastrophe." The monument serves as a reminder to prevent the repetition of past events.
At the same time, fires on Chios Island in the Aegean Sea are making headlines. The fire spread rapidly due to strong winds, leading to the evacuation of several homes.

430 firefighters and numerous vehicles are responding to the fire on Chios Island. Calls for more assistance are being made regarding the ongoing fire.
