PM meets outgoing Turkish ambassador
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis thanked Turkish Ambassador to Greece Burak Ozugergin for his efforts during his tenure to improve Greek-Turkish relations in a meeting between the two men on Friday morning.
The meeting came in the wake of threats Thursday by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who warned that Turkey would not allow Athens to exercise its legal right to expand its territorial waters.
The Turkish FM’s statements provoked an immediate reaction from the Greek government, with spokesman Giannis Oikonomou saying Greece cannot be intimidated. Greece, he stressed, is upholding international law in the face of the “crude and unprecedented threat of violence.”
