Turkey, citing this time the new law for the modernization of the Muftiates recently adopted by the Hellenic Parliament, is once again distorting reality.
The Greek Foreign Affairs Ministry expressed "its deep regret" over the Russian government's decision on Monday to expel eight staff members of the Greek embassy and the consulate in Moscow as personae non gratae.
Despite repeatedly criticising Greece for appointing the Muslim community's muftis in the region of Thrace, Turkey also appoints its own muftis at a central level, via a state agency, Greek diplomatic sources pointed out on Tuesday, highlighting the hypocrisy of Turkey's stance.
