George Gerapetritis: Greece remains ready for any scenario in Greek-Turkish relations
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, George Gerapetritis, sent a clear message to Turkey regarding the country's foreign policy. In his recent statements, he emphasized that maintaining "calm waters" in the Aegean is not an end in itself for the Greek government.
Mr. Gerapetritis explained that the policy of calm should not be perceived as a permanent and taken-for-granted option. Although Greece seeks dialogue and peaceful coexistence, the country remains in full readiness to face any scenario that may arise in the future.
This position comes in response to questions regarding the course of Greek-Turkish relations. The Greek Minister underlined that the country's national sovereignty and sovereign rights remain non-negotiable, regardless of efforts to maintain a climate of stability in the region.
With these statements, Athens sends a message of determination to the international community and the neighboring country. Greece continues to support the diplomatic path, but makes it clear that the readiness of the Armed Forces and the defense of national interests remain the top priority.
