Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs Miltiadis Varvitsiotis stated the following, among other things, during an interview on Athina 9.84 radio, with journalist Noni Karagianni: “If this situation with the Turkey-Libya memoranda is not put to rest, Greece cannot accept any agreement on the Libya issue.” "What Turkey is doing is exerting diplomatic pressure on our country. I don’t think any militarisation of the diplomatic dispute is in Turkey’s interest right now. It will not gain more interlocutors,” he stated.
Asked about the Turkish survey ship ‘Oruc Reis’, Mr. Varvitsiotis highlighted that no attempt was made to violate national sovereignty.
Finally, regarding Brexit, he stressed that the next difficult step is the drawing up of the Brussels-UK trade agreement in 2020.
