WI Greek Prime Minister E. Venizelos was assassinated in 1920?

On 12 August 1920 Prime Minister E. Venizelos faced an assassination attempt by two fanatic royalist officers at the Gare de Lyon railway station in Paris, while returning to Greece after signing the Sevres Peace Treaty. However he was wounded lightly by 2 bullets while second assassin's gun misfired... This event provoked unrest in Greece and provided further fuel for the national division. The persecution of Venizelos' opponents reached a climax with the assassination of the idiosyncratic anti-Venizelist and monarchist Ion Dragoumis by paramilitary Venizelists on 13 August. After his recovery, Venizelos returned to Greece, where he was welcomed as a hero.
WI Venizelos had died in this incident? How is this altering History? Any thoughts?
 
No Turkey-adventure for the Greek Army?
Greece gets to keep Izmir, Eastern Thrace, Imbros and Tenedos?
Plans existed that called for the creation of a defensive line along the Izmir zone, they resembled a mini-version of the Maginot line.
Less Greeks refugees means less Greeks settlers in Northern Greece. This could have long term implications on the issue of minorities in Northern Greece. Larger Bulgarian, Yugoslav and Albanian minorities in Northern Greece?

Perhaps WWII with German invasion of Turkey and Greek occupied Izmir?

Maybe a potential Venizelos death would have lead to harsher Venizelists retaliations against monarchists/Antivenizelists and November 1920 elections could have gone to the Venizelist Party instead of the Antivenizelists thus halting the advance of greek army and retaining the boundaries of the Sevres Treaty...
