Simeon Ananiades was born in #Samsun in 1902 and was a student of #Anatolia College at Merzifon in Ottoman #Turkey. On Feb 12, 1921, #Kemalist general Jemil Jahid accompanied by hundreds of soldiers entered the college and began searching for guns and ammunition. They found neither. However, they did find a map of the historic region of #Pontus. As a result, Ananiades was arrested and later hanged along with other members of the college faculty.
