Athens responds in a very strict tone to attack by the Turkish Foreign Ministry personally against Nikos Dendias which Ankara accuses of populist allegations and anti-Turkish statements.
The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alexandros Papaioannou, emphasizes that Mr. Dendias expresses the firm positions of the Greek government with composure and sobriety, carefully avoiding any nominal reference to officials of other countries, as is usual in diplomatic practice.
“It is really sad that the Turkish Foreign Ministry is violating this inviolable rule and launching baseless and unsubstantiated accusations against government officials of other countries, such as the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Greece,” Papaioannou said.
It is also an oxymoron that while Turkish government officials systematically directly threaten Greece and even question its territorial sovereignty, Ankara accuses our country of “provocative statements and actions.”
Regarding the unilateral objections mentioned in the announcement of the Turkish Foreign Minister, Athens rejects them in their entirety.
“Greece will continue to build its relations with neighboring and other countries in the context of respect for international law and good neighborly relations and calls on those countries in the region that have not already done so, to respect these fundamental rules, instead of violating them. on a daily basis “, the Greek diplomat emphasizes.
It states that Greece will continue to strengthen its allied and partnership relations, which are purely defensive in nature, do not make any illegal unilateral claims and retain the legal right to self-defense as set out in the United Nations Charter.
