In a video conference, Mitsotakis referred to a village called Pasevik by its Greek name Pomakohoria and for referring to the region’s children as Ellinopula or “Greek children.”  “We support this statement of the Western Thrace Turkish Minority Advisory Board and once again invite Greece to end the denial of the Turkish identity of our kinsmen living in Greece and to implement the ECHR rulings in this direction,” said the Turkish Foreign Ministry in a tweet.
