“The Turkish Foreign Ministry’s announcement politicizes a purely environmental issue,” the foreign ministry said in a statement on Wednesday regarding yesterday’s announcement by the Turkish Foreign Ministry.
“The global challenge of environmental protection should raise awareness among governments and not be used to create impressions,” it added.
The Greek Government will continue to unwaveringly defend our country’s sovereignty and sovereign rights within the framework of a principled foreign policy based on international law and, in particular, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, to which Greece is a party. Transactional diplomacy and the use of hybrid instruments for geopolitical gains are inconsistent with Greece’s foreign policy.
