Greece has protested to Turkey over an official web site claiming Greece was trying to destabilize its neighbor and longtime regional rival, the Greek foreign minister said Monday.

Dora Bakoyannis said she had summoned Turkey's ambassador for clarification after a Turkish foreign ministry web site detailed past grievances between the two countries, which normalized ties at the end of the 1990s after decades of hostility.

Athens newspapers on Sunday quoted from the web site, including a passage implying Greece had sought to destabilize its neighbor.

The Web site had made "unfounded allegations" concerning Greek-Turkish relations, Bakoyannis told journalists, adding, "We expect a correction."

"The Internet is a place for the free spreading of ideas, not for unfounded allegations," she said.

The site details at length long-standing differences between the two countries such as questions of sovereignty over areas of the Aegean Sea separating them, the status of the Turkish minority in Greece and of a Greek Black Sea minority.

At that all disputable issues are presented in Turkey's favor.

Since normalizing ties a decade ago, the two sides have generally sought in official relations to play down past differences, the AFP reports.
