“Greece has never tried, nor is it trying to impose fait accompli,” diplomatic sources point out

Diplomatic sources gave a resounding response to the provocative rhetoric of Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other Turkish officials. “We continue to protect our sovereignty and our sovereign rights. Greece has never tried, nor is it trying to impose fait accompli. On the contrary, it condemns every form of expansionism and revisionism,” the diplomatic sources point out.

“Greece promotes security and stability in the wider region, practicing foreign policy based on rules of International Law and the Law of the Sea, with full respect for the Principles of the United Nations Charter. Greece has never attempted, nor does it attempt to impose exemplars. On the contrary, it condemns all forms of expansionism and revisionism, and in the context of good neighborly relations it resolves outstanding issues with its neighbors, as with Italy and Egypt, through the unwavering application of the rules of International Law and the Law of the Sea. We continue to protect our sovereignty and our sovereign rights,” they said.

He continues the, barren for Turkey, rhetoric of challenges Erdogan.

Ankara does not have a problem with Greece since it “doesn’t mess with” Turkey in the Aegean, the Turkish president said defiantly earlier on Saturday according to SKAI’s correspondent in Istanbul Manoli Kostidi.

“Those who are concerned about our rights and interests in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean, we disappoint them in their enthusiasm,” said the Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.

An article in the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet spoke defiantly about fear and panic in Athens, after the episode that took place in the Aegean.
