Exchange of populations appeared one of the main alternatives for those states, which tried to solve that problem by using the methods of wars, assimilation policies and deportation. This article, which aims to analyze the exchange of populations in the examples of Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria examines the interaction processes between the population exchanges of Bulgarian-Greek in 1919 and Turkish-Greek in 1923.
