On the occasion of the Treaty of Lausanne, signed on July 24, 1923, the show, with guest Kostis Tsitselikis, professor at the Department of Balkan, Slavic and Oriental Studies at the University of Macedonia, sheds light on the mandatory exchange of Greek-Turkish of population, which was the only historical case of a compulsory rather than a voluntary exchange of minority populations.
What were its causes? What were the terms and conditions of its conduct?
And finally, 100 years later, can we put a price on a convention that fundamentally changed the lives of millions of people, forcing them to be uprooted from their land on both sides?
