Victorian Council releases events program to mark Asia Minor Catastrophe centenary

·

The Victorian Council for Greek National Days has released the program of events for this year to mark the 100th anniversary of the Asia Minor Catastrophe.

The program involves more than 20 Greek organisations with over 35 events.

Some of these events are also linked to Greek Independence Day, as they were unable to be held last year due to COVID-19 restrictions in Victoria. This includes a visit by the Evzones on Anzac Day.

“We call on the Greek community to participate actively and to share the events as appropriate,” the Chairman of the Victorian Council, Tony Tsourdalakis, said in a press release.

“We have an obligation to our ancestors to remember them.”

FULL PROGRAM can be found here.
