  • Turkey's foreign minister was scheduled to meet the Greek prime minister and foreign minister on Monday, a day after raising tension in Athens with comments on the country's Muslim minority. Mevlut Cavusoglu had previously said the aim of his visit was to prepare for a bilateral meeting between Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during a NATO summit in Brussels on June 14. But on Sunday, Cavusoglu's description of the minority as "Turkish" ahead of visiting the northeastern region near the Turkish border prompted an angry response from the Greek foreign ministry. "The Muslim minority in Thrace has about 120,000 Greek inhabitants," the ministry said in a statement. "Turkey's constant attempts to distort this reality, as well as the allegations of non-protection of the rights of these citizens, or of discrimination, are unfounded and are rejected in their entirety," it added. The status of Greece's Muslim minority is one of several points of contention between the two NATO allies. Relations also plunged last year during a face-off over energy deposits in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Greece has also accused Turkey of orchestrating an attempted incursion by thousands of asylum seekers last year. And Ankara's move last year to convert the revered Byzantine Hagia Sophia cathedral from a museum into a mosque also sparked fury from Athens. Turkey has often claimed that Greece fails to protect the rights of its Muslim minority, many of whom are of Turkish descent and Turkish-speaking. Cavusoglu had also raised the issue with his Greek counterpart Nikos Dendias during a heated press conference in Ankara in April. In turn, Dendias said Turkey was "violating" international law and Greece's sovereign rights, claiming that the Turkish airforce had conducted hundreds of illegal flights over Greek soil. bur-jph/spm
