Kyriakos Mitsotakis: The pursuit of dialogue with Turkey remains steady
The Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, recently referred to the country's relations with Turkey, emphasizing the importance of maintaining open channels of communication between the two states.
According to his statements, the Greek government is consistently seeking to build good neighborly relations. Dialogue is considered essential for avoiding tensions and promoting stability in the wider Eastern Mediterranean region.
However, Mr. Mitsotakis clarified that the desire for discussion should not be misinterpreted. As he characteristically stressed, dialogue does not in any way mean a retreat from Greece's established national positions.
Athens' stance remains committed to international law, while the government underscores that talks must be conducted with respect for the country's sovereign rights.
The Greek side continues to monitor developments, maintaining its readiness for substantive discussions that could lead to a calmer period in Greek-Turkish relations.
