"The Muslim Turks, who have kept the call alive in Western Thrace for 7 centuries and in Cyprus for 5 centuries, are deprived of their basic rights in the 21st century," theTurkish Foreign Minister claimed during his speech at the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Islamabad.
Mevlut Cavusoglu said that "the Islamic world is suffering from various problems". Addressing the OIC countries, he asked whether "it would be fair to refrain from claiming the rights of the Muslims of Cyprus or Western Thrace just because you have differences with Turkey?"
On the war in Ukraine, he said that "it has revealed the double standards that exist in the world."
He went on to say, "We also heard those who say this is not the Middle East, this is not Afghanistan, because blood is being spilled. For us, the blood spilled in Kharkiv and the blood spilled in Aleppo is the same."
