(Anadolu) A Turkish minority association in Greece celebrated its 90th foundation anniversary, though shut down by the government for over 30 years due to a name dispute.
Among the associations Greece closed in the Western Thrace because it had the word “Turkish” in their names, the Gumulcine Turkish Youth Union (GTGB) marked its foundation with events held in Greece’s Komotini city, Gumulcine in Turkish, on Sunday.
Speaking at the event, Abdullah Eren, the head of Turkey’s Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities, called for more solidarity between the members of the Turkish minority.
“I promise in my name and in the name of my institution to do whatever we can in order to make the future of Western Thrace better than its past,” Eren stressed.
