Türkiye condemns Greece's decision to close four more primary schools belonging to the Turkish Muslim minority in Western Thrace
Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Tanju Bilgic, urged Greece to put an end to its discriminatory policies toward Turkish minority schools year after year.
“With this latest decision, more than half of the Minority primary schools have been closed. Thus, Greece's policy of closing primary schools belonging to the Turkish Muslim Minority in Western Thrace through 'temporary suspension' has proven to be systematic,” Tanju Bilgic, the country's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said in a statement on Friday.
He said the recent moves show the “discriminatory and oppressive policies” implemented against the Turkish minority in the field of education.
