Following is an incomplete list of academic quotes on to the Pontic Greek genocide. Historians and academics worldwide use a variety of terms for describing the events. Before the coining of the term "genocide" by Raphael Lemkin (who considered the fate of the Greeks in Turkey to be an example of such[1]) primary sources used to improvise terms, such as "annihilation", "systematic extermination", or "persistent campaign of massacre" and "wholesale massacre".[2][3] Today, the events are described on a par with the Armenian Genocide,[4] as a similar experience to the Holocaust,[5] as "ethnic cleansing",[6][7] and as "genocide".[8][9][10][5][11][12] Other historians choose milder terminology, such as "organized killing and deportation",[13] and "carefully planned atrocities [aimed at the Greeks'] complete destruction".[14]
