Lausanne Conference Signings Tie War Return and Population Exchange
At Lausanne in January 1920 the peace talks produced two separate treaties between Turkey and Greece. One provides for mutual prisoner of war and civilian exchange. the other implements compulsory population transfers. Signatories include Ismet Pasha and Riza Nur Bey for Turkey and Venizelos and Cadamanos for Greece. The process aims to avoid an abrupt end to the Near East conference as allies prepare to present the treaty, though Turkish opposition to several clauses may affect continued expert negotiations after a possible adjournment.
