Gerapetritis Statements: Greece's readiness to protect sovereign rights
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, George Gerapetritis, made significant statements regarding the country's foreign policy and relations with Turkey. In an interview, he emphasized that the Greek government is closely monitoring developments and has comprehensive plans for every possible scenario that may arise.
Mr. Gerapetritis sent a clear message to Ankara, underlining that Greece is ready to defend its sovereign rights. The minister stressed that the country does not seek tension, but remains in full readiness to respond dynamically, even in the field, if the need arises.
At the same time, the minister referred to the risks posed by war rhetoric. He warned that such statements do not help maintain stability in the region and called on all sides to show responsibility in order to avoid unpleasant situations.
This position of the Foreign Minister is part of the government's strategy to strengthen the country's deterrent power. Athens' goal remains the maintenance of peace and the defense of national interests through diplomacy, without, however, retreating on issues of national sovereignty.
