In a letter to U.N. Security Council President Fu Cong and U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Türkiye’s Permanent Representative to the U.N., Ambassador Ahmet Yıldız, said Greece’s reaction during a recent Security Council session was driven by domestic political considerations and described it as “unfortunate.”
Yıldız stated that Türkiye “categorically and completely rejects” Greece’s claims, stressing that attempts to politicize a widely recognized geographical term do not support regional stability or constructive dialogue.
