(Kathimerini) Greece told Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Wednesday that there is no provision in the Treaty of Lausanne, a 1923 peace accord which, among other things, forged modern Greece and Turkey’s borders, stating that the muftis of the Muslim minority in the country are elected.
“The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs is always prepared to send to the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs the text of the Treaty of Lausanne with the heartfelt request to indicate to Greece the article stating that the muftis of the Muslim Minority are elected,” the ministry said in a press release.
“As is well known, there is no relevant provision in the Treaty of Lausanne.”
