Turkey is once again "distorting reality in order to serve other purposes and certainly not to promote the rights and welfare of the Muslim Minority in Thrace," the Greek foreign ministry commented in an announcement on Sunday, in response to Turkish posts concerning the minority in Greece.

The incendiary rhetoric from Ankara continues with the last episode in this saga being the statement of the Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who made new provocative statements.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu launched an attack on the President of the Hellenic Republic, Prokopis Pavlopoulos for mislabelling the Muslims minority in Thrace as Greek, instead of Turkish.
