Targeting Turkey, Dendias said, “We are faced with an unprecedented escalation in Turkish provocations, as well as an occasional escalation in the area where neo-Ottoman revisionism is reflected.”
“WE RESPONSE QUIETLY”
Dendias said, “We are responding strongly but calmly during this escalation,” and with a series of arguments, “We are destroying the baseless and baseless claims of the Turkish side one by one.” The Greek Foreign Minister emphasized that his country was sincere in expressing its intention to keep communication channels with Ankara open.
“WE STRIVE TO RE-SET OUR UNDERSTANDING”
