Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement on today’s illegal entry of members of an anti-establishment group into the courtyard of the Turkish Consulate General in Thessaloniki (17 October 2019)

We unequivocally condemn the illegal entry of members of an anti-establishment group into the courtyard of the Turkish Consulate General in Thessaloniki, where the Ataturk House is located.

This was an unacceptable and irresponsible act.

The competent Greek authorities, who reacted immediately, have already detained suspects and are taking necessary action to investigate the incident and bring those responsible to justice.
