In a Statement Released by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Recent Calumnies by Greek Foreign Minister Pangalos Against Turkey Were Described As "Delusions that are Tpyical of Mr. Pangalos". The Statement Continued "Modern Day Extension of Greek Fascism and Racism once Again is Draging Greece to Adventures. Mr. Pangalos. Through His Racist Provocations, is Undermining The Well Being in Europe and the Foundations of Domestic Peace in Some of Turkey's Neighbours in the Middle East".

Here is the Full Text of the Statement Issued by the Office of the Spokesman of the Turkish Foreign Ministry:

Greece is throwing itself onto the path of adventure, in the pursuit of Pangalos, the Pied Piper. The Greek Minister has now escalated is animosity for turkey into racist provocations and personal identification with terrorists. Minister Pangalos, in his own thinking, classifies not only our citizens in Turkey, but also people in various countries in the Middle East according to racist criteria and then incites them to separatist adventures.

This attitude of Mr.Pangalos suits him well. Because the Greece he represents carries fascism and racism as a dark blemish in its history. The Greek fascists led by those like Pangalos handed over thousands of Greek Jews to the German occupiers whom they accepted as masters and sent them to death camps. Minister Pangalos with his false assertion that "the only country that did not collaborate with German authorities was Greece" is once again hiding from the truth. We would advise him to go to the Genocide Museum in Jerusalem, read what is inscribed there on Greece and see the pictures of Greek fascists who handed 53.000 Greek Jews to Germans only to be boarded on trains destined to death camps. We would also ask him to remember how the fascist dictatorship that dominated Greece during the Second World War wasted Greek people, in collaboration with their German masters, in gallows and mass executions.

We would also remind him of the gruesome pictures of the Turks, women and children alike, that were massacred in racist horror by the Greek Cypriot extensions of the fascist junta in Greece.

Minister Pangalos, through his racist provocation's, is undermining the well being in Europe and the domestic peace in some Middle Eastern countries neighboring Turkey.

Greece must rid itself of its fixation and hostility on Turkey. Whatever happened in the near past would only repeat itself. Harbouring animosity against Turkey did not benefit Greece in the past. Nor will it make so in the future.
