15099 - The Treaty of Lausanne in the context of population exchange
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias
The Treaty of Lausanne in the context of population exchange, also describes an area, where, it should not be merely an exchange of population from one entire large area , to another entire large area, but at the interstice, there at the borders, for a buffer zone to exist. Where we say that, those who are from here, can’t be from here, and those that are from there can not be from there anymore.
Therefore, those who are from here will go there ,those who are from there will go here. And in this neutral zone, there must not be one or the other. It has become apparent that this is against the European acquis Because in the European Union things are very simple. Since Greece was integrated, we have a process called, free movement. So you have free movement, free placement, free voting and everybody can be anywhere whatsoever.
Now that we are in a period where we will also have European elections, remember very well that, now during the European Elections, we have the right to vote everywhere within the European Union and you are entitled to attend also as a candidate in an another country. This is what’s freedom of movement, and you don’t have any restrictions. Fortunately, because otherwise it would be pointless. The same applies regarding the subject of labour. Let’s assume now that we were integrated without the Treaty of Lausanne, and we were so to say now in the European Union, would we have the right to create a buffer zone; No.! Therefore because that occured in ’23 and Greece was integrated in ’81, this belongs to the exceptions of the European acquis.
