Foreign Ministry spokesperson Alexandros Papaioannou on Tuesday referred to an “unprecedented increase of tension and provocative behavior from the Turkish side” during a press briefing.
“At this crucial and difficult conjuncture for Europe and NATO, Turkey’s behavior violates fundamental rules of the international law and also affects NATO’s cohesion”.
He also said that this stance is against the good neighborhood climate that Greece is trying to create adding that Greece always supports good relations with Turkey according to international law.
Asked about the new package of sanctions against Russia that the EU will decide on Wednesday, Papaioannou noted that Greece aligns and implements all the sanctions co-decided in the EU context.
