According to official data, 3.000 of them were transferred to Turkey as part of the Greek-Turkish population exchange according to the Convention Concerning the Exchange of Greek and Turkish Populations signed at Lausanne on 30 January 1923. Articles 37 to 44 of the Lausanne Peace Treaty attribute substantive rights for exempted Muslims in Greece and non-Muslims in Turkey from the Greek-Turkish population exchange and 17,008 of them wereexempted from the exchange.

  • Scope: Munis Entomology & Zoology Publishes a Wide Variety of Papers
    682 _____________Mun. Ent. Zool. Vol. 11, No. 2, June 2016__________ A COMPARATIVE LIST OF THE LEAF BEETLES OF THE PROVINCES IN MARMARA REGION OF TURKEY, EXCLUDING BRUCHINAE (COLEOPTERA: CHRYSOMELIDAE) Hüseyin Özdikmen* * Gazi University, Science Faculty, Department of Biology, 06500 Ankara, TURKEY. E- mails: [email protected] [Özdikmen, H. 2016. A comparative list of the leaf beetles of the provinces in Marmara Region of Turkey, excluding Bruchinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Munis Entomology & Zoology, 11 (2): 682-690] ABSTRACT: This work is presented a comparative list of the leaf beetles of the provinces in Marmara Region of Turkey, excluding Bruchinae. All known taxa from the provinces in Marmara Region of Turkey and thereby European Turkey are given in the present text. KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, European Turkey, Marmara Region, Turkey Any direct research on leaf beetles in Marmara Region of Turkey is not present. Therefore fauna of leaf beetles in Marmara Region of Turkey is not sufficiently known. Chiefly, a complete faunistic information about all the leaf beetle taxa established in European Turkey in Marmara Region of Turkey was firstly published by Löbl & Smetana (2010) in their Palaearctic catalogue of Chrysomeloidea. Then, an important study titled “Checklist of leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) of Turkey, excluding Bruchinae” was published by Ekiz et al. (2013). Later works were published by Özdikmen (2014a,b,c), Özdikmen & Kaya (2014), Özdikmen & Mercan (2014), Özdikmen & Cihan (2014), Özdikmen & Özbek (2014), Özdikmen & Kavak (2014) and Özdikmen & Topcu (2014). Although the mentioned studies helped to determine the list of leaf beetles from the provinces in Marmara Region of Turkey, the list needs further corrections to be fully and correctly realized.

  • A DECADE of ETHNO-RELIGIOUS CO-EXISTENCE Following
    CHAPTER THREE 1913–1922: A DECADE OF ETHNO-RELIGIOUS CO-EXISTENCE Following the Balkan Wars,1 the Treaty of Bucharest awarded the Greek State Epirus, the East Aegean islands, Crete and Macedonia, the so- called ‘New Lands’ (Nees Hores). Through the annexation of the New Lands, Greece increased its landmass and population signifijicantly. Muslim populations, the majority of which resided in the region of Macedonia, found themselves by 1912 in the theatre of a war between Greece, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria. Perceived as kin of the defeated Ottoman authorities, local Muslims paid a terrible toll in blood and death. At the same time, in Western Thrace the Bulgarian adminis- tration swept away the short-lived autonomous ‘Republic of Thrace’ established in 1913.2 By 1918, the inter-allied army took over the adminis- tration of the region (of both West and East Thrace); in 1920, it passed on to the Greek authorities. 3.1. Nationalization/Ethnicization of Land and People and Minority Protection at the Beginning of the 20th Century As a result of the Balkan Wars of 1912–13, Greece, Serbia, and Bulgaria obtained important territorial gains to the detriment of the Empire. ‘Every Greek war is waged for the recovery of a national frontier’3 and Greece increased its area and population by 68 percent. As such, an important number of non-Greek speaking or non-Greek Orthodox peo- ples became Greek citizens, coming to constitute a signifijicant minority presence. According to offfijicial estimates, in 1912 more than 560,000 Muslims inhabited Northern Greece, making up 39 percent of the local 1 For an overview of military confrontations between Greece, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria see A.
