Turkey accuses Greece of Anatolian massacres, cites Lausanne Treaty in genocide row

Turkey's Foreign Ministry responded to Greek minister Nikos Dendias' genocide reference by accusing Greece of committing massacres of civilians in Anatolia, invoking the Treaty of Lausanne. The exchange marks a sharp rhetorical escalation in Greco-Turkish relations, though it remains diplomatic posturing without immediate operational impact. The dispute centers on historical narratives and could complicate bilateral dialogue.
