Greek Trajedy Avoidable or Not (IV)
From American Diaspora to The Treaty of Lausanne
What does the question of Greek tragedy avoidable or not have to do with the Greek diaspora in America or for that matter with the Treaty of Lausanne?
Better question: What does any of these have anything to do with any of us at this time in life, never mind when we are worried about pocketbook issues?
MYTHICAL GREEK TRAGEDIES
Did the mythical Greek tragedies Agamemnon, Libation-Bearers, Eumenides by Aeschylus, Oedipus at Colonus, Oedipus Tyrannus by Sophocles, Hippolytus, Bacchae by Euripides had anything to do with the pocket book issues then?
One wonders why they cared so much about philosophy and questions about life and after life. Did they also care enough about pocketbook issues?
Unfortunately today, on Planet Earth, everything matters from life and death to pocketbook issues, equally.
Greek Tragedy Avoidable or Not
Depends On American Greek Diaspora
At this time, if the fifth Greek tragedy is avoidable or not is a more urgent question. I already talked about how the first four transpired.
No matter, the American diaspora will determine it. The Treaty of Lausanne ended the fourth Greek Tragedy. Current diaspora had something to do with that.
Hence, in the centennial anniversary of the Treaty of Lausanne in 2023, it is a timely question. However, there is also the caveat.
With all the “search engine entries” coming from the Western sources, what are the chances for “Greeks” to make the right decision?
Where are the Turkish entries in the search engines that are controlled entirely by the West?
The American diaspora will remain helpless and hostage to the definitions and explanations, like in the case of the Treaty of Lausanne details.
American Diaspora
As a result, here is the million dollar question: What are the chances to avoid the next, the fifth, Greek tragedy?
Some among the American diaspora has all the wealth, resources, and influence. Ordinary Greeks do not have the same luxury.
They made their choices freely and fairly. “Search engines” did not influence their decisions. They must have been happier.
Treaty of Lausanne
One Google entry answers an enquiry to the “Treaty of Lausanne”, as follows: “The Treaty of Lausanne is a peace treaty negotiated during the Lausanne Conference of 1922–23 and signed in the Palais de Rumine, Lausanne, Switzerland, on 24 July 1923. Hence, it just celebrated its centennial anniversary.”
The Britannica says: Treaty of Lausanne, (1923), final treaty concluding World War I. It was signed by representatives of Turkey (successor to the Ottoman Empire) on one side and by Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Greece, Romania, and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (Yugoslavia) on the other. The treaty was signed at Lausanne, Switzerland, on July 24, 1923, after a seven-month conference.
The treaty recognized the boundaries of the modern state of Turkey. Turkey made no claim to its former Arab provinces and recognized British possession of Cyprus and Italian possession of the Dodecanese. The Allies dropped their demands of autonomy for Turkish Kurdistan and Turkish cession of territory to Armenia, abandoned claims to spheres of influence in Turkey, and imposed no controls over Turkey’s finances or armed forces. The Turkish straits between the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea were declared open to all shipping.”
Greek Tragedy Avoidable or Not
Also Depends On Turks But Also…
Since the last four “historical” Greek tragedies had something to do with Turks, why would not the “fifth” one, if it comes down to that?
So long as all search engine entries and most literature in the West are one sided, how could the “fifth” one be avoided?
Otherwise, how Yanni, Marianna, and George lived their lives, irrespective of the US hegemony and the Sixt Fleet lurking nearby, should give a hint.
If not, unfortunately, Turks will be left with no choice but to have something to do with the “fifth” tragedy as well, if it comes to that, that is.

Correlation With Pocketbook Issues?
As for those living in oblivion, I hope this set of four posts was “informative” about the imminent dangers, threatening our lives under the circumstances, nowadays.
