YES FOR GREEK MINORITY, NO FOR TURKISH MINORITY
Greece, with its state officials, often takes every interest and protects the non-Muslim (Greek) minority left in Turkey in exchange for the Western Thrace Turkish Minority with the Treaty of Lausanne. The Turkish state does not pose any obstacles in this regard. However, according to the Turks of Western Thrace, the same Greece opposes Turkey's similar interest and concern for the Turkish Minority in Western Thrace. In this sense, state, church, and party officials, in their statements reflected in the Greek media, "Turkey is trying to intervene in our internal affairs by using the minority in Western Thrace and to shape the region in line with its own ambitions." they are making claims. These and similar injustices of the Greek administration, which denies the Turkish presence in Western Thrace, are expressed by the Western Thrace Turks on international platforms, and they continue their struggle through democratic and legal means.
