ABTTF President Halit Habibioglu told Anadolu Agency (AA) that they are in constant contact with parliamentarians who deal with minority rights and issues under the roof of the European Parliament, and that they express the current problems of western Turkish society in Thrace at every opportunity.
Noting that the Turkish Western Thracian community was targeted in politics and the media with a discourse based on the other, discrimination and hatred in his country, Habib Oglu said that despite the efforts of the Turkish Western Thracian community to solve its problems, the hostile attitude towards the minority also eliminated the possibility of establishing a dialogue with the authorities in Greece.
