The Istanbul Pogrom was a pogrom directed primarily at Istanbul's Greek minority on 6 September 1955. The riots were orchestrated by the Turkish military's Tactical Mobilization Group, the seat of Operation Gladio's Turkish branch; the Counter-Guerrilla. The events were triggered by the news that the Turkish consulate in Thessaloniki, Greece the house where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was born in 1881 had been bombed the day before. A planted bomb had gone off in the consulate's garden, but the photographs depicting the event in the Turkish press were composites, and the reports exaggerated the damage, which was one broken window. A Turkish mob, most of which was trucked into the city in advance, assaulted Istanbul Greek community for nine hours. Although the mob did not explicitly call for Greeks to be killed, over a dozen people died during or after the pogrom as a result of beatings and arson. Jews and Armenians were also targeted.
