Draft:Genocide of Bulgarians in Greek-occupied Macedonia 1913
| Submission declined on 14 July 2020 by Calliopejen1 (talk). If we're going to have a Wikipedia article about an alleged genocide, there needs to be serious sourcing (i.e. academic secondary sources) describing the events as a genocide. See WP:RS, WP:V. Please add such sources (if they exist) and resubmit.

In the aftermath of the retreat of the Bulgarian forces during the Second Balkan War the Greek military engaged in a campaign of systematic destruction of the non-combatant population of the region of Macedonia to the north of Thesalonniki. According to the independent observers this amounted to 16,000 Bulgarian homes destroyed. Over 120 villages were sacked, and after systematic pillaging and violation of the women inhabitants, the villages were burnt. Thousands of civilian bulgarians were confirmed murdered or missing. Eyewitness testimony was corroborated by the greek correspondence, which fell in the hands of Bulgarian forces during military operations.[1] Numerous crimes against international conventions were registered by the Greek forces among which were firing of artillery shells on orphanages, hospitals (among which those run by foreign embassies like French and Russian) the usage of modified cut bullets (dum-dum) which cause explosion in the tissue causing wounds by order of magnitude more severe than those of conventional bullets.
