According to diplomatic sources, the Greek Ambassador underlined that the Greek positions have been thoroughly developed in the two letters sent to the UN Secretary General.
Responding to a related communication made earlier today by the Turkish side to the Greek Ambassador in Ankara Christodoulos Lazaristhe Greek side rejected the Turkish objections as a whole, as they are completely unfounded and inconsistent with International Law.
According to diplomatic sources, the Greek Ambassador underlined that the Greek positions have been thoroughly developed in the two letters sent to the UN Secretary General.
Greece fully respects its obligations arising from the Treaty of Lausanne.
Our Ambassador in Ankara pointed out that Greece is not the country that threatens its neighbor with war (casus belli), nor has it gathered the largest amphibious fleet on its shores, as Turkey has done, the same sources said.
He added that Turkey continues to violate Greece’s sovereignty, with its continuous airspace violations, as well as its overflights over Greek territory.
Earlier, it was known by Turkish publications that Ankara protested before Greece and the United States “about the deployment of American armored vehicles in Lesvos and Chios”.
According to the publication, the Greek ambassador in Ankara was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked “for Greece to put an end to its violations on the islands”.
Such as broadcast in the morning the correspondent of SKAI in Istanbul, Manolis Kostidisthe Turkish claims about the transfer of armored personnel carriers to Greek islands were on the front page of all Turkish newspapers today, in an attempt to create false impressions both abroad and at home in the wake of Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ appearance at the UN and the message he sent to the Turkish people.
The reports were accompanied by photos from Turkish drones allegedly taken on September 18 and showed Greek tankers unloading armored fighting vehicles at Lesvos and Samos.
The Turks claim that 23 tanks were landed on Lesbos and 18 on Samos and that they are of the same type as the tanks that the US brought to Alexandroupolis a few weeks ago.
