Press release of the Autonomous Western Thrace Negotiating Assembly
Date: 09.07.2020
As the Autonomous Western Thrace Negotiating Assembly, we strongly condemn the discrimination of our people and our region by Greece during the COVID-19 pandemic process.
These discriminations reinforce our views that Greece has now overlooked our region and reveal that we should embrace the struggle for our rights of autonomy arising from international law as a society.
We thank you to following statement of presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin's: “We have Turkish-origin Muslim citizens living there, there are Turkish Muslim minorities living in Western Thrace, they have issues. It is always possible for us to get a distance by negotiating and talking about all this. ”
The Republic of Turkey is the guarantor must undo the autonomy rights of Turks of Western Thrace. Greece has only put forward the Lausanne treaty, and tried to close doors to Turkey about Western Thrace Turks.Greece has also usurped unlawfully the autonomy rights of the Turks of Greece which are arising from 1913 Athens and other treaties. This door no longer locks, everything is publicly revealed.
Greece, which has violated the Lausanne Treaty on the unarmament of the islands, has violated all the treaties it has previously undertaken with regard to Western Thrace.
As we mentioned in our previous explanations, according to Article 48 (Section III, Thrace, Article 48) of the Neuilly treaty signed in 1919: The Western Thrace region was taken from Bulgaria and declared as a non-state region, on May 14, 1919 a plebiscite was made by using French occupation and Greek threats money diplomacy, finally, the official Greece occupation of Western Thrace was allowed by invading forces on 14 May 1920, just before the Greek Sevre.
On August 10, 1920, Western Thrace was left to Greece with the Sevres signed by Greece while under Greek occupation. It was under protection by the Treaty of Sevres, where Greece would respect the autonomy rights of the Muslim Turkish Minority. However, Greece has seized the rights of autonomy, which are protected by the agreement, by making a lot of regulations in its domestic law. Consequently, they ignored the international agreement it signed, and refused other items, apart from adding Western Thrace lands to him.
Based on the 27th article of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, we would like to state that Greece has NOT the right to extort the rights of autonomy of Western Thrace Turks with the arrangements made in its domestic law.
In other words, international law gives the Western Thrace Turks the right to ignore the articles of the Sevres treaty because of violating the rights of Greece. Therefore, Western Thrace is returning to the non-state region status with the Neuilly agreement.
Western Thrace Turks can establish a government in the NON-STATE region and exercise their right to self-determination. International law allows this.
We publicly declare to illegitimate armed Hafter forces supporter Greece, and to the world public that we will follow our legitimate rights arising from international law.
As the Autonomous Western Thrace Negotiating Assembly, our founding purpose is negotiation, but Greece refuses to negotiate. In August, we respectfully announce to the world that we will apply to the United Nations and the European Union for the declaration of our autonomy rights and a new roadmap, and that our dialogue with Greece is always open.
Best regards
