Foreign Ministry announcement on the passing of Errikos Belies

The Foreign Ministry expresses its profound sadness and grief at the untimely passing of Errikos Belies

Errikos Belies was a great Greek public administrator, distinguished himself in the branch of experts, and served in a number of important Directorates of the Foreign Ministry, as well as in the Diplomatic Cabinet of the President of the Republic.

He was a distinguished writer and teacher of theater. He bequeaths to us a rich translation oeuvre, a life’s work. His passing leaves a large void in the world of arts and letters, as well as in the Foreign Ministry family.

Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias, the political and service leadership of the Foreign Ministry, as well as all colleagues, express their deep condolences to his loved ones.
