    The legality of the Treaty Concerning the Protection of Minorities between Greece and the Principal Allied Powers signed the Treaty at Sèvres, on 10 August 1920 is the key issue for the validity of the Ex-Article 19 of the Greek Nationality Code. Greece had arbitrarily deprived nationality of 60,004 Greek citizens “of different descent” of its minorities, mainly the Turkish minority in Western Thrace by the Ex-Article 19 of the Greek Nationality Code till 1998. The claim of Greece for the legality of Ex-Article 19 is originated from the report of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in 1950 with the title “Study of the Legal Validity of the Undertakings Concerning Minorities” which claimed that not only the Minority Protection Regime of the League of the Nations ceased to exist but as well the Treaty Concerning the Protection of Minorities in Greece signed at Sèvres, on 10 August 1920.
