HC Deb 15 June 1920 vol 130 cc1057-8
46. Brigadier-General SURTEES

asked the Prime Minister what guarantees the Allies have obtained from the Greek Government that they will preserve the religious institutions of the Moslems in Thrace and Asia Minor and that they will not molest or persecute them in their enjoyment of civil and religious rights?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

The terms of the Draft Treaty of Peace with Turkey provide for the acceptance of Greece of such stipulations as may be deemed necessary to protect the interests of inhabitants who differ from the Greek majority in race, language and religion, both in the Adrianople region and also in Smyrna and the adjacent territory under Greek administration.
