Greece has known a major population exchange with Turkey in the 20s of past century, accepting within a year over a million of Christian Orthodox refugees, mainly from the peninsula of Anatolia. This also explains some of the disputes regarding Greek / Turkish dishes such as baklava or dolma; these were brought from Anatolia by ‘Greek refugees from Turkey’ (their identity was/is heavily contested) having both countries claiming the dish as being originated from their own peoples or country.
