Foreign Minister Kotzias talks by phone with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu

Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias talked by telephone a short while ago with his Turkish counterpart, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, to whom he expressed his condolences regarding the abominable terrorist attacks that took place yesterday at Istanbul’s airport.

Mr. Kotzias expressed to Mr. Çavuşoğlu his firm conviction that terrorism can have nothing to do with Islam and nor can it be linked with religious faith and the values of charity and tolerance that such faith professes.

The two Foreign Ministers agreed to meet within the framework of the proceedings of the NATO Summit Meeting on 8 and 9 July, in Warsaw, where they will proceed to a review of bilateral relations and schedule an exchange of visits for the coming time.
