No. They were forced to exile during the civil war, a period when events like kidnapping Greek children and sending them to communist countries, punishing villages for helping one or another side and massive executions happened. Sad? Yes. But also a lot of Greek collaborators were killed brutally and Greek communists as well. My family lost a great-grandfather (hanged by right-wing militants as communist) and a great-grandmother (heart attack when communist guerillas entered the village and executed a few people, local priest among them). Hey, shit happens.
By the way during the German-italian-bulgarian occupation we had (3) three !!!! goverments in Greece, one in Athens controlled by germans one in Egypt controlled by English and one in the mountains controlled by communists Noone of them decide the ethnic cleansing of chams . This was really very difficult period because during the occupation died also about 300000 greeks (among them thousand children) from starvation .
