Navarino massacre
The Navarino massacre〔William St. Clair, That Greece Might Still Be Free The Philhellenes in the War of Independence, Oxford University Press, London, 1972 p.40 ISBN 0-19-215194-0〕 was one of a series of massacres that occurred following the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence, which resulted in the extermination of the Turkish civilian population previously inhabiting the region (now known as Pylos).
==Siege of the city==
Before Navarino capitulated, many Turkish families had been compelled by hunger to escape and throw themselves at the mercy of Greeks of the neighbourhood. However, they were massacred. The Turks, who were at the last extremity of starvation, offered to surrender. The Greeks proposed a convention whereby surrendering Turks would be granted secure passage to Egypt. When the capitulation was concluded, the Turks in the city gave up all the public property in the fortress, and all their money, plate, and jewels.〔George Finlay, ''History of the Greek Revolution, Volume 1''. William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London, 1861. (Online copy ) p. 262〕 However the Greeks had neither the intention nor even the means of providing this promised secure passage.〔St. Clair, p. 41〕
One of the Greek negotiators, Poniropoulos, boasted some years later to General Gordon that he destroyed the copy of capitulation given to Turks so that no proof would remain of any such transaction having been concluded.〔Finlay, p. 262〕
