    Turkey reacts strongly to remarks by Greek president


    Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the remarks by Greek
    President Papoulias targeting Turkey were a mere distortion of
    historical facts

    Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the remarks by Greek
    President Karolos Papoulias targeting Turkey during Armenian President
    Serzh Sargsian's visit to Athens were a mere distortion of historical
    facts.

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Friday,
    "remarks by Greek President Papoulias targeting Turkey, while Armenian
    President Sargsian was visiting Athens are a mere distortion of
    historical facts, do not reflect common sense and are not befitting
    with the esteemed office from which they emanate."

    "Turkish and Greek governments with their common political will, exert
    their utmost in order to give a new impetus to Turkish-Greek
    relations. It is therefore a reasonable expectation for authorities to
    refrain from such statements which would damage this atmosphere. We
    urge those who make such statements to earnestly review our common
    recent past and examine historical facts without distorting them,
    while duly analyzing the contractual situation," the Ministry added.
