Foreign Ministry spokesperson
Konstantinos Koutras stated the following in response to a journalist’s
question regarding statements made yesterday, in Kessani, by Turkish
Prime Minister Erdogan:
“Historical and geographical references – particularly in a region as intensely historically charged as the Balkans – must always be made with great care. Today, the sole criterion is compliance with international law and, thus, the rules governing good neighbourly relations, which are based on respect for the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of all the states in the region.

For Greece – which could obviously make a great many historical references – this is a fundamental, self-evident and inviolable stance.”
