My research focuses on the experiences of the Ottoman bureaucrats in the Greek occupation zone in the period between 1919 and 1922. The attitudes of Ottoman civil servants towards the Greek administration do not present the 'absolute pair of opposites' of collaboration and resistance. My main argument is that an intertwined dialectic of collaboration and resistance could have been blended together in the same people, even in the same action.
