"fter the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, Pontus was not recognised as autonomous. In 1921, an independent Pontic state was proposed, but never realized. Under the Treaty of Lausanne, the borders of Turkey were renegotiated and in 1923, the exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey required approximately 1.5 million Greeks living in Turkey to resettle in Greece, and approximately 500,000 Turks living in Greece to resettle in Turkey. Among the former were the remaining 300,000 Pontic Greeks of Muslim faith, of an original population of more than 700,000." source:Asan, Ömer. Pontos kültürü. İstanbul: Belge Yayınları, 1996.
