Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs: We stand by the Western Thrace Turkish Minority against discrimination

The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted to the investigation launched 7 months after the march organized by the Xanthi Turkish Union.

In the statement made on the social media accounts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey, it was said, "We stand with the Turks of Western Thrace against this discrimination." In the statement, it was stated that turning the claim of rights into a desire for punishment is a new plan of pressure and intimidation.

The following statements were included in the statement made on the social media accounts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey:

“Greece did not register the status of Xanthi Turkish Union despite the decisions of the ECtHR. Our compatriots who are seeking their rights are being summoned to testify and are being investigated. The desire to punish the rightful is a new plan of oppression and intimidation. We stand with the Western Thrace Turkish Minority against this discrimination.”
