Foreign Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos stated the following in response to a question on statements made by German Finance Minister W. Schäuble:
“The reforms being carried out in Greece bear no relation – and can bear no relation – to the issue of German reparations.
What’s more, German reparations are an issue that the Greek state has been raising for many years now.
Whether this case has been resolved or not is determined by international justice, given that, by its nature, this issue concerns international law and the international justice organs.
Greece is not ‘losing its focus’ on the reform policy, despite the great sacrifices the Greek people are shouldering.”
