The Turkish Foreign Ministry launches an attack on the President of the Republic, Katerina Sakellaropoulou, on the occasion of her statements at the event of the official presentation of the construction plan of the World Palace of Pontian Hellenism in Sourmenon at the former Hellinikon airport.
The Turkish Foreign Minister speaks of “unfounded” statements by Ms. Sakellaropoulou. “These allegations do not change the fact that Greece was the one who” attempted to invade and conquer “Anatolia and that the Greek army committed” barbaric crimes against humanity “, especially against” innocent civilians “in the region of Western Anatolia” Ankara supports.
He also notes that “we would like to remind you once again that because of these crimes, which were also recorded in the report of the Committee of Inquiry of the Allied Powers, in accordance with Article 59 of the Lausanne Peace Treaty, Greece was obliged to pay compensation for the damage caused by the violations of the laws of war “.
“Greece’s frequent false accusations overshadow the steps to create an honest and honest dialogue environment for resolving the problems between the two countries. Such attitudes and behaviors are incompatible with the responsibility expected of government officials. In this context, we call on our neighbor Greece, once again, in a common sense and constructive understanding “, concludes the Turkish Foreign Minister.
It is noted that during the official presentation of the construction plan of the World Palace of Pontian Hellenism Sourmenon at the former Hellinikon airport, Ms. Sakellaropoulou said, among other things, that the history of Pontian Hellenism was long, glorious and painful. “Its tragic end, with the methodical and systematic genocide that with persecutions, massacres, attempts at violent Islamization and unspeakable barbarism, uprooted them from their ancestral homes and brought them to the path of refuge, is an incurable trauma. “Man has roots, and when they are cut, it hurts,” said another refugee, George Seferis, “added Ms. Sakellaropoulou.
