  Donmeh Summary
At the time of the interchange of Greek and Turkish populations between Turkey and Greece, the Salonika Donmeh tried to be recognized as not Muslims to avoid forced transport to Anatolia.
It should be noted that as of the end of 20th century Donmeh were fully integrated to the secular fabric of Turkish society and the intermarriage tradition had ceased after the 1960s.
According to these speculative postulates, Donmeh are related to each other through a network that consequently links them to "International jewry" and they are the ones behind consecutive governments in Turkey (compare to ZOG).

But their argument did not prevail, and by 1924, the last of the Donmeh had arrived in Turkey, where they were never trusted by the Moslem population, and never completely integrated into Turkish society, although under Turkish law they were considered "Moslem", with the same rights and privileges as other Turks.
