Greeks begin long process of reviving destroyed Istanbul community after Turkish persecution

Greeks begin long process of reviving destroyed Istanbul community after Turkish persecution Search for: There were 125,000 Greeks living in Constantinople (Κωνσταντινούπολις, Turkish: İstanbul) at the signing of the Lausanne Treaty in 1923. The 125,000 Greeks in Constantinople and its outlying islands were exempt from a population exchange between Greece and Turkey of their respective Christian and Muslim minorities. However, after decades of persecution by the Turkish state, the 125,000 Greeks have been reduced to as little as 1,000, by some estimates, despite being the indigenous population of the city. However, individual efforts are being made by Greeks, who have a right to Turkish citizenship, to revive the community from the brink of extinction.
