Taste tiff: Turks, Greeks Baklava battle reaches new heights

ATHENS (AA): Prepare for a sugar-coated showdown as a thrilling survey conducted in Greece and Türkiye leaves both nations craving victory in the great baklava debate.

The survey, conducted in Greece and Türkiye between June 14 and 16 with the participation of over 1,800 people, revealed that over 95% of Turks claim baklava as their own dish.

Meanwhile, over two-thirds of the Greeks polled argued that baklava is theirs and one-third acknowledged that it is a Turkish delicacy.
