'Hak verilmez, alinir' (rights are not granted, they are taken) : the politicization of rights in the case of the Muslim-Turkish minority in Greece

This thesis focuses on the case of the Muslim-Turkish Minority in Greece, which was excluded from the mandatory population exchange that took place between Greece and Turkey in 1923. This project explores the discourse of minority rights and the use of rights claims by a considerable number of agents operating at different levels. This thesis is mainly preoccupied with the process that is defined as the 'politicization of rights'. Based on this process, the aim is to study and analyze the politics surrounding rights claims, the context in which rights claims are framed, as well as the ways that different rights agendas are drawn.
