Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu received a delegation from a Greek school reopened in northwestern Turkey after having been shut down for decades.
The school's principal as well as Laki Vingas, a senior leader of Turkey's Greek community and chairman of the association running the school, attended the meeting in Ankara which was closed to the press.
The school in Gökçeada, a Turkish island off the Aegean coast, was reopened two years ago after it was forced to close 49 years ago due to discriminatory state policies against minorities. A middle school and a high school were added to the school complex this year.
