Summarized from Sepetcioglu, T.E. "TwoHistorical 'Old' Concepts A Socio-Cultural 'New' Identity: What is the Population Exchange, Who are the Exchangees?" (2014, in Turkish).

By “The Convention and Protocol on the Exchange of Turkish-Greek Population” signed between Turkish and Greek delegations on 30 January 1923, the Greek Orthodox population and the Muslim population was exchanged except Greeks in Istanbul, Bozcaada and Gökçeada in Turkey and Muslims in Western Thrace in Greece. The treaty includes the detailed descriptions and the conditions on who is included or excluded, the liquidation of the personal properties and the supervision of immigration process. After the treaty the majority of Muslims who migrated from Greece were settled in Turkey, according to the determinated rules in the context of the convention. The majority of Orthodox Greeks left Asia Minor -before the Treaty- the during the war and after the defeat of the Greek army in August 1922; and they were not subjected to any particular survalliance in this process. Following the Mudanya Treaty signed on 11 October 1922, a large number of Greeks from Eastern Thrace and Istanbul had migrated to Greece. These people and the Greek people of western Anatolia were also included in the scope of migration in compliance with convention signed in 1923.
