Foreign Ministry spokesman Gregory Delavekouras stated the following in response to a journalist’s question regarding Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu’s response to a parliamentary question on the sovereignty status of Aegean islands:
“Apparently, they put someone up to asking this question once a year.
So I will give exactly the same response I gave the last time: I want to make it clear that there is nothing disputable, nothing is in doubt about the status of any island or islet in the Aegean. All of this is governed by international treaties that are absolutely clear, and that is why there are no grounds for disputing the status of any Greek islands in the Aegean.
I hope we won’t have to say this again this time next year.”
