References for Atrocities
I'm not sure about the credibility of the articles listed as references (in Yeni Haber and Yeni Asir). They amount to nothing more than unsubstantiated rants about the Greek Army (and the Armenians) being responsible for the burning of Smyrna. It's propaganda, at best, and should be taken out.

ELAS under the control of the Communist Party
This is a blatant lie, or at best misinformation coming from a biased and poorly informed person. If ELAS started as an initiative from the CP, it very quickly got out of its grasp, and was acting outside the dogmas of the soviet emanating doctrines of the Party. Very early on there were tensions between the rebels of the Mountain and the technocrats of Athens. ELAS could at best be "labeled" as anarcho-communist and adapted to the needs and moors of the mountainous regions it was based in. An example was the fact that it tolerated religious practices and popes amongst its ranks (as long as no religious hierarchy with conflicting interests would appear), which was in direct opposition with the CP's doctrines, but adapted to the people of the country that weren't Soviet University graduates... I recommend the reading of D. Eudes "The Kapetanios" book, which is one of the most thorough accounts of the Greek Resistance and civil War. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.195.118.82 (talk) 20:11, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
