Turkey requests explanation from Greece over ‘impertinent’ slogans during military parade

·

Turkey has formally requested an explanation from Greece regarding slogans shouted by some Greek Armed Forces personnel during a military parade in Athens on Tuesday, March 25, calling them “impertinent.”

Turkish Foreign Ministry sources described the incident as an unacceptable attempt to undermine Turkish-Greek relations.

In response, Greece’s Defence Ministry swiftly launched a disciplinary investigation, with the Naval Forces Command looking into the matter after footage circulated showing Greek personnel insulting Turkey and Turkish Cypriots.

Greece’s main opposition party, the Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA), also condemned the slogans as unacceptable and called for a thorough investigation.
