“Greece condemns in the most explicit manner any action that desecrates the national symbol of any country, in this case of Turkey,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
“Actions of this sort are contrary to the culture and the customs of the Greek people,” it said.
In Athens yesterday, hundreds of people gathered in the parliament square to protest the so-called “Pontus Greek Genocide” by burning the Turkish flag.
