The "World Greek Day" program, which Ankara University, Istanbul University and Trakya University will organize with the contributions of the Greek Embassy, caused reactions.
The program, which received a massive reaction especially on social media, was canceled hours before it started.
ATTENTION HAS BEEN DONE ON WHAT GREECE DOES
In the reactions against the "World Greek Day" organized by three state universities in Turkey, attention was drawn to the lawlessness that Turks in Greece were subjected to. On the other hand, it was emphasized that Greece was engaged in hostile activities against Turkey in the said reactions, and the "World Greek Day" program was asked to be canceled.
"BECAUSE IT CAUSES A PERCEPTION THAT EXCEEDS ITS PURPOSE..."
It was announced that the event was canceled following the reactions against the "World Greek Day" program. In the statement that the cancellation of the program was announced by Ankara University, "The World Greek Day activity programmed as a scientific activity was canceled because it caused a perception that exceeded its purpose. It is announced to the public with respect".
In the statement made by the Rectorate of Trakya University, "World Greek Day" activity, planned with the joint initiative of three universities that provide education in Modern Greek Language and Literature, has been canceled due to the recent developments.
