There are WAY to many photos in this article

Greece is a photogenic place, but this is just ridiculous. Athenean (talk) 05:28, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

During Ottoman rule before 1912, Greeks constituted a minority in the region of Western Thrace.[2] After the Balkan Wars and World War I the demography of the region was changed. While groups such as the Turks and Bulgarians decreased, the Greek population increased by the resettlement of ten thousands of Greek refugees from other areas of the Ottoman Empire, after the flight of the Greek refugees from Asia Minor, as a result of the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) and the subsequent population exchange between Greece and Turkey.[3] Of all Greek Asia Minor refugees (578,824 individuals), 31% of them were resettled in Western Thrace.[1] The Greek government's reason to settle the refugees in this region was to strengthen the Greek presence in the newly acquired provinces and the homogenization of the population.[1] The Greek government especially resettled the refugees in Komotini, Xanthi and Sapes regions where the majority of Muslim Turks lived.[1]
