Abstract

After the Ottoman Empire was defeated in the
first World War, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk led the war of independence and the new
Turkish state which passed from the reign of Sultanate to the Republic faced a
major problem in the Treaty of Lausanne with the Entente States. This problem
was the “Population Exchange” which dated on January 30, 1923. A new debate has
begun with The “Prisoner and population exchange” agreement signed by the
Turkish and Greek sides on this date, and the public opinion of the other
foreign states, especially for the United States, it has been examined day by
day. Many reports were shared in the world press, claiming that the exchange
decision was a violation of human rights and criticisms.

The main theme that we will take into
consideration in this study will be the opinions and news that are discussed in
the UK public opinion on exchange in the English press. The main sources of
inquiry are the Guardian, The Observer, Daily Herald, Leeds Mercury, Northern
Whig, Sheffield Daily Telegraph, etc. And the main aim of our study is to show
what reactions the British public had in the days of Lausanne, when the exchange
rate and the decision to exchange rate emerged.
