Turkey has condemned Greece for holding its annual Pontic Greek
genocide commemoration, arguing that the ceremony is not based on
historical reality and is morally problematic.
The statement released by the Turkish Foreign Ministry on Friday reads:
Activities held in Greece once more this year under the banner of the
so-called `Pontian Greek Genocide Commemoration Day’ are based on
allegations incompatible with historical facts, and on an unscientific
and ethically problematic approach. We condemn and reject these
activities and their underlying mindset. Such initiatives undermine
the efforts to improve relations and cooperation between Turkish and
Greek peoples.
