The answer to the threats was clear
The Turkish Minority in Western Thrace gave its answer to former NDP Minister Bakoyanni and Mitsotakis, who threatened it, at the ballot box.
The minority’s answer was clear. "We will do whatever we say".
According to the unofficial final results of the general elections held in Greece on Sunday, June 25, 4 Turkish candidates from Western Thrace entered the parliament.
In Rhodope, Özgür Ferhat from SYRIZA and İlhan Ahmet from PASOK Party were elected.
In Xanthi province, Hüseyin Zeybek from SYRIZA and Burhan Baran from PASOK succeeded in getting into the parliament.
While SYRIZA was the first party in Rhodope with 33.8 percent, New Democracy Party in Xanthi province took the first place with 30.49 percent.
Despite NDP's anti-Turkish Minority propaganda in Rhodope, the result did not change.
The Turkish Minority gave its answer to Bakoyannis and Mitsotakis, who "threatened" it, at the ballot box. The minority said: "We will do whatever we say".
As a result, the Turks of Western Thrace showed that they would not bow down to outdated threats that are incompatible with the norms of international law and the democratic standards of the European Union, by waving those who pointed their fingers at them before the elections.
The NDP lost votes throughout Western Thrace, especially in the Turkish minority polls, due to its pre-election protests.
Rhodope parliamentary candidate Mustafa Katrancı withdrew from his candidacy. It was observed that the other minority candidates of the NDP were not very active in the second round elections.
