ANKARA: Turkiye’s foreign ministry on Sunday condemned a decision by Greece to close eight schools catering to the country’s Turkish-speaking minority, accusing its neighbor of discrimination.
In a communique, the ministry condemned “systematic practices aimed at undermining the right to education of the Turkish minority in Western Thrace.”
