The study, which brought the whole debate to the neighboring country, acknowledged the Greek genocide against the Cham population, saying that 77 Chams of Paramithia were executed by Greek forces, only because of their religion. Furthermore, the study states that "50,000 Chams of Epirus were expelled or killed by the Greek Revolutionary Liberation Army (EDES Greece's right-wing forces for liberation, alongside ELAS, which was communist, in whose ranks have also fought about 200 Chams.) during World War II.

" The study was presented at Pandio University in Greece by a group of Greek professors at the university, and is the first to point to the genocide of the Chams by a group of Greek officials.

The number of deported and killed Chams, presented in the Greek study, is even higher than the number officially presented by the Chamerian Patriotic Political Association in its history. Reaction in the hall and protection of work by professors In the Pandio University hall, attendees, Greek students and professors opposed the study, saying that "fascists (referring to the Chams) deserved it, while Lambros Bulciotis, one of the study's authors, said that" this is just a scientific study, does not tend to get into political situations. We just present the facts that exist and nothing more.

" Attendees began shouting further when the study said that the "Northern Epirotes" collaborated with Nazi forces in southern Albania and that Albanian lands and properties in Thesprotia (Chameria) were given to the Greeks of Turkey who went to Greece, from Turkey, after the change of populations between the two countries. However, the professors refused to change any commas in their study. Konstandinos Ciceliqis, one of the drafters, said that "we are not talking about national issues but about historical issues and documented facts, which we are presenting today".

The first Greek study to recognize the Cham genocide Meanwhile, this is the second Greek study to accept the Cham genocide. The first was drafted by a Greek professor at Yale University in the United States, Mr. Stathis Kalivas, who in his study says among other things that "this case is definitely a genocide.

The question that remains is whether we are dealing with a (genocide) prepared by the center (army leaders), or if it came from actions local-level revenge. I think the difference between the two is very small. Although EDES Greek right forces were a centralized organization where, unlike EAM (ELAS political organization,) central leaders can to easily control the local military, no facts show that the leaders had the slightest (or real) desire to stop them (commit genocides).

The political circumstances of September 1944 allowed the "final settlement" of the Cham issue, and according to in my opinion, Greek right forces did not restrain themselves from taking advantage of the case ".
