Greek Foreign Ministry to Turkey: The Treaty of Lausanne admits no interpretations; the Muslim minority of Thrace is religious

“No provision exists for the election of Muftis by the Minority, nor could this happen given that they are also entrusted with judicial and administrative responsibilities,” Athens states

Turkey’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The Lausanne Treaty is not open to interpretation, regarding the Muslim minority in Thrace

"No provision is made for the election of Muftis by the Minority, nor could this be the case given that they are also charged with judicial and administrative responsibilities", Athens says

Diplomatic sources on Fidan’s remarks: “The Treaty of Lausanne is clear; It refers to a Muslim minority”

Greece rejects Türkiye's claims of a "Turkish minority," emphasizing adherence to international law and equality for all Greek citizens
