Athens’ “paid” response to Cavusoglu: Turkey’s human rights record manipulated

by

“It is at least an oxymoron, for a country with the worst human rights record to abandon Greece for violating the rights of the Muslim Minority in Thrace,” the Foreign Ministry says

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave a “paid” response to his challenges Mevlut Cavusoglu for allegedly violating the rights of the Muslim minority of Thrace.

“It is at least an oxymoron, for a country with the worst performance in human rights issues to leave Greece for violating the rights of the Muslim Minority in Thrace,” says the Foreign Ministry.

As the Ministry of Foreign Affairs explains, it is a minority, which numbers about 120,000 members, that is, the same number as the period in which the Treaty of Lausanne was signed, which Turkey systematically invokes.

“It is questionable how he invokes Lausanne and speaks of its violation by Greece, at a time when in Constantinople, Imbro and Tenedo the Greek Minority numbers fewer of 3000 soulswhile at the time of the signing of the Treaty it numbered around 130,000″, Athens emphasizes.

The announcement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in detail

“Turkey once again distorts the reality in Thrace.

It is an oxymoron to say the least, for a country with the worst human rights record to abandon Greece for violating the rights of the Muslim Minority in Thrace.

Greece, a modern European democracy follows a structured minority policy, which promotes the well-being of the Minority.

A Minority, which numbers about 120,000 members, as well as the period in which the Treaty of Lausanne was signed, which Turkey systematically invokes.

It is questionable how he invokes Lausanne and speaks of its violation by Greece, at a time when in Constantinople, Imbro and Tenedo the Greek Minority numbers fewer aof 3000 souls, while at the time of the signing of the Treaty it numbered about 130,000.

We were recently reminded of this reality by the EU’s statement, in the context of the 77th UN General Assembly, “about the earlier policies of discrimination implemented by Turkey, which resulted in the Greek Minority in Turkey being today on the verge of extinction”.

The statement speaks for itself

As the numbers speak for themselves.

And they demonstrate in the most bizarre way who really implements the Treaty of Lausanne etcand who follows a minority policy, which respects human rights.

We hope that this brutal truth of the numbers will be a springboard for Turkey to finally reflect on its responsibilities in the field of minority politics.

We call on Turkey instead of delivering human rights lessons, to put her house in order and to implement policies, which will once again give life and dynamism to the Greek Minority there”.
