Samsun deportations

 * ... that U.S. admiral Mark Bristol (pictured) unsuccessfully protested against the deportations of Samsun Greeks to the Turkish authorities of Mustafa Kemal? By the time of the events in Smyrna, there were virtually no Greeks at all left in Samsun, as a destroyer captain informed the admiral, so his two protests to Kemalist authorities there had had no permanent effect even at a port right under the noses of his destroyer captains. and Whatever the reason, the admiral again protested the deportations, this time to the Nationalist government at Angora.
