Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas made the following statement regarding the announcement of the death of Osama Bin Laden:
“International terrorism is an abhorrent phenomenon, a constant threat to international peace and security that undermines the prospects of societies throughout the world for prosperity and development.
Osama Bin Laden’s death dealt a strong blow to terrorism. But the fight does not end here. The international community – irrespective of religious beliefs and political considerations – needs to remain united in the international effort to end this scourge.”
