Turkey criticized the Greek authorities for closing eight elementary schools operated by the Turkish minority in Western Thrace, considering this a violation of the Lausanne Agreement signed in 1923, which recognizes the presence of Turks in the region. The spokesperson for the Turkish Foreign Ministry explained that the number of schools serving the Turkish minority has decreased to 76, and that the closure was justified by an alleged insufficient number of students. This move represents an escalation in practices undermining the educational rights of the Turkish minority. Ankara called on Greece to adhere to its commitments under the treaty and to respect minority rights, emphasizing that it will continue to support the struggle for the rights of the Western Thrace minority, whose population is approximately 150,000 Turkish Muslims.
