Summarizing the process leading to the Lausanne Population Exchange, Dr. Okan Ceylan said, “One of the issues discussed in Lausanne is the population exchange. When we look at the background of the population population, it is a process that lasted from 1923 to 1925. When we look at the social and economic effects of this, it goes back to the middle of the 1930s. Because we have just come out of the war, our economic our situation is in the recovery phase, there are cultural, economic and social adaptation problems of the exchanged people. İstanbul Orthodox and West Thrace Muslims are excluded. 1 million 200 thousand Greeks are sent from Anatolia. Nearly 500 thousand Turks GreeceIt comes from here. Greece had a population of 5 million at that time, RussiaThere are just as many Rums coming from . TurkeyThe population of Turkey was 13 million at that time.
“The aim is to turn immigrants into producers”
Stating that the purpose of the state after the exchange was to make the exchanged producers producers, Dr. Okan Ceylan said, “Turkey needs a production economy and a workforce to cultivate the land. The state needs to give loans to immigrants, distribute land and establish cooperatives to market the products they produce. Young Republic it does that too. In order for the state exchanges to become producers, a total of 6 million 300 thousand decares of agricultural land is given to 157 thousand 736 exchanged families throughout Turkey between 1923-1933. 7 million kilos of seeds are distributed to the established exchanged villages. 27,500 plows, 41 thousand agricultural implements, 23 thousand cattle are distributed and credits are given,” he said.
“The exchange affected every field”
Kadri Dallı, one of the moderators of the conversation, also evaluated the economy and agriculture in terms of Greece after the population exchange. Stating that there was no bourgeois class in the Ottoman Empire, Kadri Dallı said, “Trade in the Ottoman Empire was not an area where the sovereigns existed. Military service, state administration and large land ownership were monopolized by the dominant Muslims. The people were engaged in farming. As such, the bourgeois class in the Ottoman Empire was the Greeks, the Greeks, and the Ottomans. It was Armenians and Levantines. The big capital owners who left from here also go to Europe from Greece. When we look at it from this aspect, the exchange is not only the displacement of two peoples. These displacements, as we always explained in these interviews, reflect the dance, music, literature, sociology and demography of the places visited. has affected the culinary culture,” he said. – IZMIR
