On January 30 1923 the Convention and Protocol Concerning the Exchange of Greek and Turkish Populations was signed and entered into force. According to Article 1 of the agreement a compulsory population exchange was to be carried out between Muslims residing in Greek territory and Greek Orthodox Christians settled in Turkish territory beginning on May 1 1923 Oran. The primary rationale behind this exchange was the desire of both countries to create ethnically homogeneous societies within their respective borders. Article 2 of the agreement stipulated that Greeks residing in Istanbul and Muslims residing in Western Thrace were excluded from the exchange and considered established residents établis. However the different interpretations of this article by the two countries led to significant disagreements Metintas. These disagreements persisted for a long time and when no resolution could be reached the matter was brought before the League of Nations. Still no solution emerged and the case was eventually referred to the Permanent Court of International Justice which issued a non-binding advisory opinion. Yet the issue remained unresolved Firat. Bilateral negotiations continued for years and finally led to the signing of the Ankara Agreement between the two governments on June 10 1930.
