היסטורית — קבוצת הפוגרום באיסטנבול 1955 והגירושים 1964–65

GR-HIS-04 הוא מסלול היסטורי / דוקומנטרי-קוהורט המכסה שני פרקי רדיפה מקושרים נגד המיעוט היווני-אורתודוקסי של איסטנבול: הפוגרום באיסטנבול ב-1955 (Septemvriana, 6-7 בספטמבר 1955) והגירושים של 1964-65. נכון לשנת 2026 זה לא מסלול רכישה חי ולא מנגנון אובדן אזרחות יווני: הקבוצה שמרה על אזרחות יוונית לאורך כל הדרך. זה מתועד כדי לשמר את היסטוריית הרדיפות והטיסות של הקבוצה ולשמור אותה מופרדת בצורה נקייה מהשרידי הטורקי-לאומי הקונסטנטינופוליטני (GR-DSC-06) ומהקיפוח האתני לשעבר ב-Art 19 (GR-HIS-05 / GR-RST-03:

6,-EV-03)., ]

There are no live eligibility criteria, because the route is documentary: nobody acquires or loses Greek nationality through these episodes, so there is nothing to 'apply' for. Historically, the documented subjects were the Greek-Orthodox minority of Istanbul — pogrom victims (1955) and, distinctly, the ~10,000-12,000 Greek-passport holders expelled in 1964-65. The expellees already held Greek nationality and retained it; the pogrom victims' nationality was untouched. No status is conferred or removed by membership of this cohort.

No language or civics test attaches to this route, because it confers no status. The Greek civic-knowledge examination (ΠΕΓΠ) and Art 5A integration conditions belong to ordinary naturalisation tracks and are irrelevant to a documentary cohort. Note that the 1964-65 expellees were already Greek nationals and required no examination; descendants claiming via Art 1 descent (GR-DSC-01) likewise face no language/civics test, while Art 10 ομογενής naturalisation (GR-DSC-06) is itself facilitated and exempt from the standard naturalisation examination regime.

No documentary checklist applies to a live application because none exists. For the documentary record, the 1955 pogrom is evidenced through the de Zayas international-law study and contemporaneous damage tallies (~4,000 shops / ~2,000 homes / ~61 churches), and the 1964-65 expulsions through Turkish deportation lists (first published 24 March 1964) and academic reconstructions. A modern descendant proving Greek nationality relies instead on ordinary descent evidence — a Greek-national expellee ancestor's municipal/registry record — under GR-DSC-01, not on any GR-HIS-04 form.

There is no live process. Historically these were persecution events, not procedures: the 1955 pogrom was a riot; the 1964-65 expulsions were imposed unilaterally by Turkey via published deportation lists after the 16 March 1964 treaty denunciation. The expellees did not run any Greek nationality procedure because they were already Greek nationals; they were received in Greece as returning citizens. Any present-day claimant connected to the cohort follows the ordinary descent process under GR-DSC-01 (or Art 10 ομογενής naturalisation, GR-DSC-06 / GR-NAT-02) instead.

No live processing timeline exists. Historically the events were swift and finite: the pogrom unfolded over the single night of 6-7 September 1955; the 1964-65 expulsions ran from the first deportation list (24 March 1964) through ~5,000 expulsions in April-August 1964 and a further ~10,000-11,000 after September 1964, reducing the Istanbul Greek community from ~80,000 to ~30,000 by 1965. No statutory or administrative processing-time figure attaches to a GR-HIS-04 application, as none exists as of 2026.

No fee schedule applies, because there is no live application: GR-HIS-04 documents persecution episodes, not a fee-bearing Greek procedure. A modern descendant pursuing Greek nationality does so under ordinary descent (GR-DSC-01) or, for the Turkish-national remnant, Art 10 ομογενής naturalisation (GR-DSC-06 / GR-NAT-02), each carrying its own ordinary administrative costs documented under those routes, not here.

נושא עומס (V-CORR 23): אין שום מכשיר לאום יווני שפועל במסלול זה, מכיוון שאף אחד מהפרקים לא שינה לאום יווני. הפוגרום של 1955 הביא להרס רכוש ובריחה, ללא שינוי לאום חוקי. הגירוש בין השנים 1964-1965 נבעו בעקבות הוקעה חד-צדדית של טורקיה על אמנת הקמה, מסחר וניווט היווני-טורקית משנת 1930 ב-16 במרץ 1964 - מעשה טורקי המפסיק את זכויות המגורים של האטאבלי בטורקיה, שלא נגע ללאום היווני. ה'בסיס' המשפטי הוא אפוא רקע היסטורי/אמנה, לא הוראת רכישה או הפסד של הקוד היווני.

No Greek authority accepts or processes a GR-HIS-04 application because the route is documentary. Historically, the relevant authorities were Turkish (which imposed the 1964-65 expulsions) and the Greek reception apparatus that resettled returning Greek nationals. As of 2026, ordinary nationality matters for descendants of the cohort are handled by the competent Decentralised Administration / Ministry of the Interior under the standard Code (Art 1 descent) or, for Art 10 ομογενής naturalisation, the Greek Consul of the applicant's place of residence forwarding to the Minister of the Interior.

The biggest pitfall is coding this cohort as a Greek denationalisation: the 1964-65 expellees RETAINED Greek nationality and the 1955 pogrom changed no nationality — this is Turkish-side persecution (loss of residence/property in Turkey), not a Greek loss-of-nationality act (V-CORR 23). A second pitfall is confusing the two Istanbul-Greek cohorts: the 1964-65 expellees held GREEK passports (this route), while the resident Constantinopolitan remnant held TURKISH nationality (GR-DSC-06). A third pitfall is naming the wrong treaty: Turkey denounced the 1930 Convention of Establishment, not the Treaty of Lausanne, and that treaty conferred no nationality.
