Minister of Foreign Affairs George Gerapetritis’ statement regarding remarks by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye (29.08.2025)

Greece is neither apprehensive nor does it define its stance with reference to Türkiye. We do not accept lecturing. We understand that Greece’s strong and assertive foreign policy may cause reactions. Everyone should come to terms with this reality and refrain from turning their uneasiness into enmity.

Good-neighbourly relations, which Greece has consistently sought to foster, cannot be advanced through intemperate or untimely statements.
