Grande Catastrophe
On 17 April 2010 Nikos Latsistalis, a member of a refugee family from Adapazarı as well as the Chairman of Drama Asia Minor Refugees Association and a Turkish refugee from Drama to Bursa collaborated to pinpoint the location of the "bridge". The families of both men had been effected by the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey of the 1920s, when Turks from Greece had been sent to Turkey and Greeks from Turkey were sent to Greece.
