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.
