(Anadolu) The Turkish parliament on Tuesday issued a report elaborating on religious and cultural problems faced by the Turkish minority in Greece.
The report by the Department of Research Services also examined the difficulties in protecting joint heritage sites in the southeastern European country, such as a 600-year-old Ottoman-era mosque in Didymoteicho.
Built in 1420, the Celebi Sultan Mehmet Mosque was severely damaged in a 2017 fire.
Turkey repeatedly offered cooperation to restore the mosque but to no avail.
“Despite the positive steps taken by the Greek authorities, the joint cultural heritage in Greece has not been protected as required,” it said.
