      For those who will ask what happened to the minorities: Most of the Greeks, Armenians and Jews emigrated. There are still people here.

      A note on the Greek population relative to today. The Greeks of Constantinople/ soon to be Istanbul were exempt from the initial population exchange with Turkey. However after the wake of the [Istanbul Pogrom](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul_pogrom) a majority of the Greeks of the city would emigrate, leaving only a minority of a minority left in Turkey and Istanbul in particular.

      Some people really don’t know that Armenians in Istanbul were not killed or deported in WW1 and greeks literally did go in the population exchange also Jews go to israel primarily. Like bro, if you want to accuse someone with something just go and do some research and do accusations with even a little truth.

      Important to note that this was NOT a secular state. It was in every way a government based on Islamic principles. And with that came protection of religious minorities for centuries after the 1453 conquest. 

      If anything, most of the pogroms happened after the establishment of the secular Republic of Turkey which was obsessed with the idea of creating a homogeneous nation-state.

      When people ask “What would happen if Hitler only conducted his genocides inside Germany and didn’t try to conquer all of Europe” one possible answer is “Look at modern day Turkey”.
