(Kathimerini) Greece on Saturday rejected Turkish accusations that Muslim religious leaders will be under the control of a newly established government body, saying there are no such plans and called for an end to interventions in the country’s domestic affairs.
The Greek Foreign Ministry said Greece issued a presidential decree that improves the work of muftis who maintain judicial powers and provides guarantees for the parties resorting to the muftis.
“Obviously, any reference [by Turkey] to an establishment of a new state entity is false,” the ministry said, adding that “Greece does not take lessons on the implementation of the Lausanne Treaty, international law or ECHR judgments from Turkey.”
