(Anadolu) Türkiye on Friday called on authorities in Greece to investigate a death threat against a Greek lawmaker who is also a member of the country’s Muslim Turkish minority.
“We expect the Greek authorities to investigate this serious incident and punish the perpetrators,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Twitter, sharing a statement from the Turkish Minority Advisory Board in Greece’s Western Thrace region, which explained that Huseyin Zeybek was threatened.
The Western Thrace region — near Greece’s northeastern border with Türkiye — is home to a substantial, long-established Muslim Turkish minority numbering around 150,000.
