• The Greek Minority and its foundations in Istanbul, Gokceada (Imvros) and Bozcaada (Tenedos) 

After the Lausanne Treaty (1923) preceded by relevant agreements, which provided for the mandatory exchange of populations (see Black Sea Greeks), there were still over 130,000 ethnic Greeks in Istanbul, Gokceada (Imvros) and Bozcaada (Tenedos).  Subsequently, the socially, economically and culturally dynamic Greek minority suffered a series of systematic persecutions at the hands of the Turkish State, culminating in the events of September 1955 (1.) and the 1964 expulsions (2.),  and a steep decline in numbers. Nowadays, fewer than 3,500 ethnic Greeks have remained in Turkey.

1. In September 1955, in Istanbul, an organised mob was turned against the ethnic Greek community and the Ecumenical Patriarchate in an orchestrated riot, destroying 1,004 residences, 5,000 small- and medium-sized businesses, two cemeteries, 73 churches, 23 schools and 5 athletic centres. The number of ethnic Greeks who were forced to leave Turkey by 1960, as a result of these events, is estimated at around 9,000.

2. In March 1964, Turkey reneged on the 1930 Greek-Turkish Ankara Convention. Within two years, more than 12,000 ethnic Greeks residing in Turkey were expelled from the country and deprived of all access to their real estate, goods and chattels. This was subsequently followed by the de facto exodus of 40,000 ethnic Greeks of Turkish citizenship (along with their relatives). However, it should be noted that Greek citizens residing in Istanbul had the right to stay in the city their entire lives pursuant to the 1923 Agreement on the exchange of populations, and were in no way affected by the abovementioned bilateral Convention of 1930.
