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

They remain illegal – in complete violation of international law and counter to the obligations undertaken by a country that says it wants to become a member of the EU – and undermine peace and stability in the region.
