Greek Deputy National Defense Minister Nikos Hardalias on Tuesday briefed his fellow ministers from European Union member states of Turkey’s continuing provocative and illegal behavior.
At the Foreign Affairs Council (Defence) in Brussels chaired by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, Hardalias noted the large number of infringements of Greek air space and flights over Greek territory on April 27. He said they corresponded to the frequency of those during the 2020 crisis that were condemned by the European Council and the Council of the EU. Turkey’s behavior is illegal and revisionist, is aimed against Greek sovereignty, and constitutes a flagrant violation of International Law, he underlined.
Hardalias stood in for Defence Minister Nikos Panagiotopoulos, who is accompanying Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on an official visit to the United States.
