Ko tana rohe ka uru atu ki te nuinga o Pontus o mua, a inaianei ko te waahanga o te Rohe Moana Pango o Turkey. I korerohia te kawanatanga i whakaarohia i te Huihuinga Hauora o Paris i te 1919, engari i mataku te kawanatanga Kariki o Eleftherios Venizelos i te tuunga kino o taua kawanatanga, no reira ka uru atu ki roto i te kawanatanga nui ake o Wilsonian Armenia. Kaore tetahi o nga whenua i puta mai, a ko te taupori Pontic Greek i raro i te
