Foreign Ministry announcement on the brutal murder of Japanese journalist Kenji Goto by ISIS executioners

“The brutal murder of Japanese journalist Kenji Goto by the executioners of the Islamic State is yet another heinous crime of this terrorist organization against innocent citizens. Greece was and is firmly against international terrorism.

This inhuman act will not diminish the international community’s efforts to combat the barbaric and blind terrorist activity of ISIS. We express our deep condolences to the family of the victim and to the people of Japan.

In collaboration with the other countries participating in the international Alliance against the Islamic State terrorist organization, Greece will continue the efforts to bring those responsible for these crimes to justice.”
