“It is very positive that Greece has all its allies on its side,” stressed the Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister and Government Spokesman, Stelios Petsas, speaking today on ERT1, emphasizing, among other things, that the latest developments such as the conversion of the Chora Church into a mosque and the expansion of the illegal Turkish NAVTEX show that Turkey’s references to respect of international law and good neighbourly relations are no more than a pretext.
As Petsas said, “one of the issues that causes many problems, in European politics, in general, but also in the West, is the attitude of Turkey, which has been provocative for a long time
Unfortunately, the latest developments such as the conversion of the Chora Church into a mosque and the expansion of the illegal Turkish NAVTEX show that the references to respect of international law and good neighborly relations to settle this loose end are rather pretentious.”
