A bulletin dated October 1, 1922, reported in detail on the acceptance by Greece of the Mudanian Armistice Protocol.
“The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Kanellopoulos,” wrote Kathimerini, “sent last night a telegram to the Greek Ambassador in Constantinople, Mr. Simopoulos, ordering him to transmit, upon receipt to the chairman of the conference, General Harrington, the statement of the Greek government on the adoption of the armistice protocol. In its declaration, the Greek government announces that it accepts the conditions formulated by the allied generals in the armistice protocol, in its desire to comply with the decisions of the allies and taking into account (on the slope) the need and wear and tear of things. The Government is also appealing to the philanthropic sentiments of the three Allied Powers, imploring them to agree to an extension of the deadlines set for the evacuation of eastern Thrace. […]”.
The editors of the newspaper also commented on the evacuation of Eastern Thrace: “Thrace was condemned. The corresponding decision was made in a pre-trial order – even before the creation of the Peace Conference – and will be enforced before the start of the trial. Greece, subject to violence, is already forced to sign an act of unjust condemnation. Her old allies threaten her with expulsion. And Greece concedes.
On the same sheet, a special officer transferred an image from Constantinople, on which the presence of allied troops there made itself felt. In a text titled “Constantinople in Panic” it was written: “[…] despite the massive imposition of an allied power, the Greek and second Romanian consulates are literally besieged. Crowds, quarrels, incidents, scenes; the created panic continues, passports are issued in the thousands, and the recipients … do not leave.” That they remain is due to the security guarantees provided by “measures taken by all, including allies.” However, on the same day, the newspaper mentioned the discussion of the issue of transferring the seat of the Patriarchate from Constantinople to Athos.
