“We are prepared for everything. We are determined to defend our sovereign rights,” Alternate Foreign Minister Miltiadis Varvitsiotis said in an interview with Skai TV on Monday.
In particular, Varvitsiotis underlined that the defence of Greece’s sovereign rights is a national decision and he sent the message that the country will protect its islands against the Turkish threat, while the government responded immediately to Turkey’s illegal agreement with Libya and will continue to respond, both by strengthening Greece’s relations with its friend and ally Egypt and also with its European partners.
He also made it clear that Greece, as the prime minister said in Prague, keeps the possibility of dialogue open, noting that “we are both calm and determined”, because any escalation that occurs with the responsibility of the Greek side is essentially what Erdogan is looking for.
