Edited sentence: He wrote that the Greek army was responsible for the fire, as well as fires in 250 Turkish villages (the Greek army, however, had evacuated Smyrna prior to the first break-out of fires).Some Turkish sources claim that the Greeks and Armenians started the fire.There are different accounts and eyewitness reports about who was responsible for the fire, yet the most common belief is that uniformed Turkish soldiers set fire to Greek and Armenian homes and businesses.This is the most likely scenario, considering the fact that it was the Turkish army who made the attack at Smyrna, as well as that all the Muslim and Jewish territories remained intact after the fire outbreak
