by

“Let’s not seek foci of tension in our region. It is something that Europe and both countries need,” the government representative emphasized.

The message that the national rights of Greece are guaranteed was sent by government representative Yiannis Economou responding to its new challenges and threats Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar for Kastelorizo.

“In the face of challenges like Mr. Akar’s, the government takes a calm and determined approach. Our national rights are protected and the world community has established that Greece is on the side of law against revisionism. Mr. Akar’s rhetoric does not add anything. And since I heard that Mr. Akar said something about Turkish swimmers, it would be a good idea to have an open sea peace race involving Turkish and Greek swimmers. It is better to look at the issue in a more relaxed way, with an emphasis on international law, and not seek foci of tension in our region. It is something that Europe and both countries need”, emphasized Mr. Economou.

About Turkish drilling rig which is expected to come out in the eastern Mediterranean, the government representative emphasized that Athens is closely monitoring the issue. “We have to be vigilant and decisively do what we need to do to have stability,” he noted.
