Turkey on Monday criticized the Austrian chancellor over his remarks to a Greek newspaper about asylum seekers.

In a statement, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy denounced Sebastian Kurz’s statement in the daily Kathimerini just after World Refugee Day, which was observed on June 20.

“This country, which closes its borders first and foremost to the asylum seekers and even proposes to build a wall to the border, violates the common values ​​of the EU and humanity, the basic human rights treaties and the 1951 Geneva Convention,” Aksoy said.
