Announcement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on yesterday's press release by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (10.04.2024)

The Turkish Foreign Ministry's press release politicizes a purely environmental issue. The global challenge of environmental protection should raise awareness among governments rather than be used as a means to create impressions.

The Greek Government will continue to unwaveringly defend our country's sovereignty and sovereign rights within the framework of a principled foreign policy based on international law and, in particular, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, to which Greece is a party. Transactional diplomacy and the use of hybrid instruments for geopolitical gains are inconsistent with Greece's foreign policy.
