In an announcement on Friday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Hellenic Republic said its spokesperson Alexandros Yennimatas gave the following response to a journalist’s question about a statement made by a Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesperson the previous day:

“Turkey’s insistence on distorting history is unbecoming of a modern state. We call on Turkey to reflect on its historical responsibilities, especially regarding its conduct towards the Greek minority. Turkey should follow Greece’s example and, at long last, work to consolidate good neighbourly relations in our region and, of course, its European perspective.”
