He said he met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sidelines of a NATO event in London last week, adding that the United States, Russia, Europe, Egypt, and Israel have all condemned the memorandum of understanding signed between Turkey and Libya. The controversial deal changes the maritime boundaries in the Mediterranean.<br \/>\u00a0The Greek government expelled the Libyan ambassador on Friday over the heated boundary dispute. The November agreement reached between Turkey and Libya permits Ankara to gain access to a zone across the Mediterranean, rejecting the complaints of Greece, Cyprus, and Egypt, which are situated between Turkey and Libya.<br \/>\u00a0The public row is part of a larger diplomatic battle, with tensions running high because of Turkish drilling off Cyprus, and the EU has prepared sanctions against Turkey in response.<br \/>\u00a0The first appearance of a Greek prime minister at an event organized by the Pan-Pontian Federation of Greece electrified the attendees.<br \/>\u00a0The Pontian Greeks lived in the region of Pontus, on the coast of the Black Sea and in the Pontic Mountains of northern Anatolia in Turkey. The Ottomans and the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk, launched a campaign of genocide against the Pontian during World War I until the founding of the Turkish Republic in 1923. The racist and anti-Christian ideology of \u201cTurkey for the Turks\u201d animated the genocide. The murder toll between 1914 and 1922 may be as high as 1.5 million Greek Christians.<br \/>\u00a0Hami Aksoy, a Turkish foreign ministry spokesman, termed the conference a \u201cpropaganda event\u201d on Saturday: \u201cWe reject the statements of the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis delivered at the \u2018International Conference on the Crime of Genocide\u2019 held in Athens on 6 December 2019. His statements concerning our past and present are devoid of any base and its hostile tone is laden with lies and slander.\u201d<br \/>\u00a0Mitsotakis said he wants to stand by the Greeks of Pontian descent and \u201cinternationalize the commitment\u201d to the organization\u2019s goals. The exposure of the genocide of Greek Christians must lead to \u201cresults that will arm the modern world to avoid experiencing such brutality again. This will be a heritage for all of humanity, not just Pontian Hellenism.\u201d<br \/>\u00a0The conference featured prominent Israeli speakers, including the historians Benny Morris and Dror Ze\u2019evi who discussed their book, The Thirty-Year Genocide: Turkey\u2019s Destruction of Its Christian Minorities, 1894-1924.<br \/>\u00a0The Israeli psychoanalyst and expert on genocide, Israel Charny, was slated to speak on Sunday with a talk titled, \u201cA worldwide campaign for life: Respect, protect life.\u201d<br \/>\u00a0In a panel on \u201cA direct consequence of unaccounted genocide: The culture in the Turkish political system,\u201d Turkish academic Cengiz Aktar spoke about his experience in Turkey in the early 1970s and the lack of intellectual works on the Armenian genocide. He said he would only later learn about the Armenian genocide in France.<br \/>\u00a0Georgios Varythimiadis, the president of the Pan-Pontian Federation of Greece, said \u201cfor Greece, the cradle of civilization and democracy, there can be no hesitation and doubt. The descendants of the ones that survived the Genocide crime in a unified front: Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians, we give the good fight for the international recognition of the genocide against the Christian populations of Asia Minor by the Ottomans and Neo-Turks.\u201d<br \/>\u00a0\u201cOur fight is not just about historical experience,\u201d he added. \u201cWhoever believes that we deal with stories of the far past is wrong. Recent events confirm the need for empowering our fight. Only through the recognition of the Christian populations\u2019 genocide by the Ottoman Empire, we can achieve peace in the tormented East Mediterranean. When the perpetrator remains unpunished and pursues the oblivion and silence of his genocidal past, he indirectly states his will to repeat the crime.\u201d<\/h5>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Prime Minister blasted Ankara for its current foreign policy that, he said, is ignoring international law on the high seas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hated-for-his-names-sake","category-moving-toward-ezekiel-38-39","pmpro-has-access"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inthedays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inthedays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inthedays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inthedays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inthedays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1408"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.inthedays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1408\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1488,"href":"https:\/\/www.inthedays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1408\/revisions\/1488"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inthedays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inthedays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inthedays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inthedays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
