Η προοπτική των ελληνοτουρκικών σχέσεων στα πλαίσια του καθεστώτος της Λωζάνης

Abstract

A historic stage in the relations between these two peoples, the Treaty
of Lausanne was the starting-point of a radical reassessment of their respective
domestic policies. These henceforth had to be directed towards the
protection of their territorial integrity and independence and to abandon
any expansionist tendency in the direction of territories with a different
ethnological make-up. The strict implementation of this principle initialy
conduced to a climate of friendship and mutual trust between Greece and
Turkey, which was subsequently spoilt, however, when Ankara reverted to
its old tendencies towards opportunistic expansionism and outdated hegemonism.
