After Venizelos had completed his efforts to justify the Greek operations, Clemenceau once more reminded him, "Greece had had a mandate from the Conference and had not kept within the limits of that mandate." He asked Venizelos, "What would happen if the Turkish attacks should increase and if Greece could, without the support of her allies, make the necessary military and financial effort until such time when the country would be completely pacified." Venizelos replied, "Greece had an army of 12 divisions with 325,000 men, an army stronger than it was at the time of the Armistice. Mustafa Kemal had only 70,000 men". |

In the Results section, the sentence "After losing battles at western Anatolia in a row, a few months later the Greek army left Eastern Thrace to the Turks as well, without any combat." fails to mention the important Armistice of Mudanya. In it, eastern Thrace up to the Maritsa River and the city of Adrianople were handed by Greece to Turkey along with recognition of Turkish sovereignty of Istanbul and the Straits at Chanak, which were later finalized at the Conference of Lausanne. --Xenophonos 16:49, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
This part does not make any sense.
"The Greek front line ran West-East along difficult hilly ground, easily defensible, with high hills called tepes rising out of broken terrain."
I'm guessing the term "tepe" here is referring to the Turkish word "tepe", which means hill. The word in Turkish is not used to describe a particular kind of hill. Technically, the term used for an elevated landscape which has a peak with an elevation less than 500 metres (anything higher is reffered to as a mountain).
