The 19th of May has been declared as Commemoration Day for the Genocide of Pontian Greeks, following a unanimous resolution of the Hellenic Parliament on the 24th of February 1994. In this context, on Saturday 19 May 2018, an official Flag Lowering was held at the White Tower of Thessaloniki, attended by 40 Pontians wearing the Zipka War Outfit, following the approval by HAGS of a request submitted by the Pan-Hellenic Pontian Associations’ Federation.
During the Flag Lowering, a military echelon rendered honours, and so did a C Army Corps- “MEGAS ALEXANDROS” Military Band.
