(Anadolu) Türkiye on Sunday reaffirmed its support for the legitimate struggle of the Turkish minority of the Western Thrace region in Greece.
Marking the Jan. 29 National Day of Resistance and Social Solidarity of Western Thrace, the Foreign Ministry said the people living in the region have been fighting for their Turkishness for more than 30 years.
“Türkiye will resolutely continue its support for this just struggle of the Turkish minority in Western Thrace and will not leave its cognate brothers alone,” the ministry said on Twitter.
In a separate statement, the National Defense Ministry said Türkiye is with the Turkish minority in Western Thrace in their just struggle against “identity genocide.”
