WI: Greeks liberate Constantinople after WWI

It's well known that in OTL, Greece tried and failed to liberate Eastern Thrace and Western Asia Minor, and those failures meant that they didn't even try to liberate Constantinople.

But what if instead of marching towards Angora, the Greek Army instead marched on Constantinople?
 
Well, "liberate" is a little incorrect term, I guess. No doubt, Greeks thought to liberate "their" Constatinople/ Istambul but, after five centuries and with a Turkish majority population, it's difficult define that a "liberation". It's as Mussolini declaring "liberated" some old roman provinces that now are sovereign countries.
Clarified that, Greece probably will proclaim a sort of restauration of Byzantine Empire, beginning with Kings names numeration. If it will be able to defeat Ataturk, Greece could mantain all West Turkish Coast as initially promised at Versailles. Turkey will flirt with Axis, Soviet Union, Islamist radicals and probably the Devil himself in order to recapture something but I don't see many occasions to happen.
