During Ottoman rule before 1912, Greeks constituted a minority in the region of Western Thrace.[1] 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.[2] Of all Greek Asia Minor refugees (578,824 individuals), 31% of them were resettled in Western Thrace.[3] 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.[3] The Greek government especially resettled the refugees in Komotini, Xanthi and Sapes regions where the majority of Muslim Turks lived.[3]

Financial Crisis

Would the financial crisis be significant enough to include somewhere in the lead? I don't quite know the policies on talking about such recent things in articles. Also, is the referendum worth mentioning? --Vamanospests (talk) 03:44, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We had this discussion multiple times before and the answer is no. Dr. K. 03:47, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is no financial crisis in Greece. It enjoys high living standarts and very high income per capita. Just like Norway. 195.87.42.210 (talk) 13:12, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
