“It is at least an oxymoron for Turkey to claim that it is working to ensure peace and stability in the region and at the same time to accuse Greece of preferring tension, at a time when it is widely known that by its illegal actions, Turkey is destabilizing Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East “. This is stated by diplomatic sources in Athens, on the occasion of the provocative allegations by the Turkish Foreign Minister “that Greece prefers tension to cooperation and tries to create artificial alliances”.
They also emphasize that the facts speak for themselves and do not need further comment.
It is pointed out that Greece, guided by international law, cultivates relations of friendship and cooperation with all the countries of the region that embrace these principles.
Finally, regarding the Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias, they note that only during the last two days, he had meetings with his counterparts from Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, the National Security Adviser of Israel, the Secretary General of the Arab League, as well as the Deputy Foreign Ministers of the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
