  2. ^ According to the Report of the Inter-Allied Commission of Inquiry (May-September 1919) "A large number of Turkish men, women and children who were trying to leave the burning quarter were killed for no reason by the Greek soldiers, who were guarding all the exits that led from this quarter to the northern part of the town (...) leaving no doubt that the Greek Command and troops ran amok. A large number of Greek civilians of Aydın, hoping to escape by accompanying the troops as they retreated, were prevented from doing so by the Greek Army Command who nevetheless took along Turkish hostages who were later killed."
