Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis sent a very clear message to the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is now referring to the dialogue between the two countries.
“Challenges stop and discussions begin” were the six characteristic words used by the Greek Prime Minister.
Mitsotakis noted that the Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias will deliver a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, in which Ankara’s illegal activity is presented and documented, as well as the threats it poses to the stability of the region.
During his speech, the Prime Minister stated that our country, in addition to the aggression of Turkey, is facing actions that challenge any rule of the United Nations Charter. With a rhetoric, as he said, that distorts history, undermining legitimacy. With moves that endanger security throughout the Mediterranean.
“In these difficult days, any tension is a challenge to the forces of peace.
It is manifested on the borders of Greece, which are also the borders of the European Union. Our only compass is international law. “Greece has never hidden that at the same time with its rights, it also defends the good relations with the neighbouring countries”, stressed Kyriakos Mitsotakis. “Greece can and wants to discuss the definition of maritime zones based on international law. Without being blackmailed. “Let the threats go, so that the contacts begin”, he pointed out.
