Here follows a report on Al Hamidiyah, the city built as an asylum to Girit Turks escaping the genocide of the Girit Turks in 1897 by the greeks.
Al Hamidiyah is a town on the coastal Syrian line about 3km from the Lebanese border. The town was founded in a very short time on direct orders from the Turkish Sultan 'Abdu'l-Hamid II circa 1897, to serve as refuge for the Cretan Turks fleeing from the genocide of Turks and Muslims in Crete in the aftermath of the departure of Turkish troops from the island. The town is home to about 8000 people, with the majority still speaking Cretan Greek and Turkish.
Henry Noel Brailsford, an eyewitness of the immediate aftermath, uses the term "wholescale massacre" to describe the events of 1897 in Crete, in a definition corroborated also by other sources.
