Turks and Greeks agree that baklava is great but disagree on who invented it first, a recent survey showed.
The survey, conducted in Greece and Türkiye between June 14 and 16 with the participation of over 1,800 people, revealed that more than 95% of Turks claim baklava as their own.
Meanwhile, over two-thirds of the Greeks polled argued that baklava is theirs and one-third acknowledged that it is a Turkish delicacy.
The survey also showed that the preference of filling also differs between the neighboring countries.
Nearly 57% of Greeks like it with walnuts, while more than 56% of Turks prefer baklava with pistachios.
