Balkans | Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis’ “legendary” speech in Xanthi!

Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis delivered a “mythical” speech on Thursday, April 27, in the city of Xanthi, in which he spoke about “myths about the religious minority.”

While Mitsotakis touched on the minority and relations with Turkey in his speech, “Turkey-Greece relations should not be poisoned by myths about the religious minority.” His use of this phrase was noteworthy.

Miçotakis arrived in Kavala in the morning and headed for Xanthi in the afternoon. While visiting a factory in Xanthi, Mitsotakis addressed the party members at the indoor amphitheater in Xanthi. In his speech, Mitsotakis also touched on the issue of minorities and relations with Türkiye. Referring to the Turkish minority in Western Thrace, Mitsotakis said, “Turkey-Greece relations should not be poisoned by myths about the religious minority.” His use of this phrase was noteworthy.

Prime Minister Mitsotakis said that Thrace is a region where citizens of different cultures live in harmony and peace, and said that the policy of equality before the law was first implemented by Konstantinos Mitsotakis. Claiming that they have an understanding of Thrace based on equality before the law at home and international law and good neighborly relations abroad, Mikotakis said: I want to appeal to our neighbors. I would say that; Greece and Turkey are heading towards elections. Relations between the two countries should not become material to the tension in the electoral race. Nor should our relations be poisoned by myths about the religious minority in Thrace. I don’t think we have any citizen who wants to become a tool for other ends. Turkish officials must understand very well that facts cannot be changed by falsifying the agreement and history. Of course, the facts cannot be changed by drawing Greek islands and regions on the map, which will always be blue.

In his speech, Mitsotakis stated that Greece was one of the first countries to help with the earthquake disaster in Turkey and said, “You cannot provoke it while you thank it. I would like to emphasize again from Xanthi. We respond ready for all forms of aggression. We do not engage in dialogue with irrationals. We We embrace and respond to all good intentions.We are ready to study the basic problem between Turkey and us, which is the delimitation of maritime jurisdiction areas in the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.However, we are against any kind of assault on our sovereign rights.The other side of the Aegean Sea must be careful about the words he uses. At the same time, I hope he is sincere in his intentions.” He said.

It is reported that Prime Minister Mitsotakis stated that the relations between the two countries should not be poisoned by myths about the religious minority in Thrace, referring to the Western Thracian Turkic minority and of course the minority rights of the Western Thracian Turks arising from internationalism and cosmopolitanism. Bilateral agreements. For the first time in Greece, it was noted that the Prime Minister made a “mythical” analogy about the rights of minorities.

In Xanthi, where Prime Minister Mitsotakis came to deliver his election speech, his dismissive attitude towards the rights of minorities and minorities as a “myth” was described by the minority as political suicide by the minority.

Although it is customary for Greek political leaders who came to Western Thrace to refer to Turkey in general, before the elections, an experienced politician like Prime Minister Mitsotakis mocks the rights of minorities and minorities with the characterization of “myth”, which leads to the fact that the Turkish people who do not They tend to vote for the New Democracy Party, which was assessed as a position that sacrificed minority voters.
