The reactions of her Pomaks are intense Thrace for the visit of Mevlüt Çavuşoλουlu to the region.
The Panhellenic Association Pomakon stresses that it is undesirable, noting that “The only reason you should visit our heroic villages would be to apologize deeply and sincerely for what your nation has done to the detriment of our race.”
The relevant announcement states the following: “Mr. Mevlut Tsavousoglou, YOU ARE UNWANTED!
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey, sir Mevlüt Tsavousoglou, expressing the history of our proud people, the voice of the free Pomaks, the memory of our girls who were crushed by the dozens of mountain peaks of the Rhodopes, the Momtsky Kamen (long before the Souliotisses) to avoid the Ottoman conquerors, the conscientious objector activists who in recent decades, have faced racist violence, beatings, threats, social and economic exclusion from domestic paid representatives of your country’s nationalism, supporters of the fascist / terrorist organization of the Gray Wolves, we declare POMAKOCHORIA.
THE ONLY REASON FOR WHICH YOU SHOULD VISIT OUR HEROIC VILLAGES WOULD BE TO ASK FOR DEEP AND SINCER SORRY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
The democratic and civilized country of Australia established MAY 26, as a DAY OF NATIONAL APOLOGY, for the atrocities committed by the colonial ancestors of today’s Australians against the Aboriginal people.
It is a great opportunity to enter the realm of civilized countries, following the example of Australia, asking us Indigenous Thracians, SORRY!
Otherwise, you are UNWANTED in Pomakochoria, you are a PERSONA NON GRATA!
Instead of the Pomak villages, we recommend visiting the blood-stained villages of the Kurds of Turkey and Syria, visiting the graves of the hundreds of thousands of murdered citizens, but also the democratic journalists and politicians of Turkey, who are rotting in your state prisons, manas and whose children and grandchildren you killed as well as all those who persecute the regime of your country en masse and by any means “.
Earlier, the Cultural Association of Pomaks of Xanthi had clarified that “there is no Turkish minority” in Thrace, clarifying that “we are Greek Pomaks”.
“When we died for these lands, we did not know Turkish, now we do not know our mother tongue.
In recent decades, the Pomaks and Roma of Thrace have been subjected to a cultural and linguistic genocide by Turkish settlers. Associations, groups of people, even individually, many times we try with our nails and teeth to prevent the cultural and linguistic genocide against us and we fight for the obvious, we try to prove the obvious that we are not elephants!
We have been hearing from third countries for a long time now without any reason to raise issues of “Turkish minority”, the minority is one and is defined by the Treaty of Lausanne and is Muslim as it consists of communities that have only one thing in common religion!
So, no matter which village you go to – Why are they called Pomak villages – Mr. Tsavousoglou, nothing will change, we will still be Greek Pomaks and this will not change in your next or subsequent visit to Thrace, even then we will be Greek Pomaks !
As for the issues that are raised and heard from time to time by you or your associates about the oppression of the Turkish minority as it is initially called, we assure you that there is no Turkish minority and then we guarantee that the Muslims of Thrace enjoy all the freedoms of our homeland! “, States his post on Facebook.
