MÜBADELE MESELESİ VE LOZAN’DA ÇÖZÜMÜ.

The System of Millet in the Ottoman Empire, which ensured peaceful cohabitation of various ethnic and religious groups within the empire for many centuries, dissolved in the 19th century with the impact of nationalist movements. Thus, one of the questions that rised with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and that was inherited by the Turkish Republic was the minorities. This essay deals with approaches of various sides to this question during the Lausanne peace negotiations, and the following exchange of populations between Turkey and Greece. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
