Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Alexandros Yennimatas’ response to a journalist’s question on yesterday's statements by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alexandros Yennimatas, made the following statement in response to a journalist’s question on yesterday’s statements by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

“Turkey’s erratic reactions following the European Council meeting and Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias’ visits to Armenia and Iraq, only serve to highlight internationally the impasse Turkey is at, due to its own choices.

As to its outrageous claim that it is the common denominator for resolving all the problems in the region, Turkey would do well to confirm this with the countries of the region, which probably rather feel that Turkey is the common denominator of their problems.”
