Greeks In Turkish Territory.

Professor Andreade of the University of Athens, who is a specialist on the extent of Greek citizenship beyond the Greek frontiers—in Macedonia and the other Balkans, la Turkey, Syria and Asia Minor —pointed out the great predominance of the Greeks in the regions to be evacuated by the Turks if they are to leave Europe. The whole vilayet, or province, of Adrianople, extending from the Balkans down to Constantinople, he declared, is as much Greek as It Is Turk and with the Turks out It Is practically all Greek. “Even Constantinople,” he said, “is a Greek city—the largest of Greek cities—with a population of 350,000 Greeks. That gives an idea of the extent of Greek citizenship* in all this section down to the straits, which will have to be considered on the basis of nationality and race, when the Turk leaves Europe.
